The Proclaimers' "500 Miles (I'm Gonna Be)" on 12" is hugely dynamic and alive. It's admittedly a bit bright, but it is SO good in that single format.
Don’t have the ability to post links but I love the 12” of Giorgio Moroder’s Chase, which is 13 minutes. Awesome space groove that still isn’t long enough. I’m also fond of the special mix of Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes, which incorporates some sections of the live versions of this song.
Polydor may seem unusual for Hip Hop Be Bop, but how it was for me atleast (no picture sleeve) the B-Side being Part Two Still a stone cold classic of the era in the UK
Love that thread! Just sorry it had to be closed. Guess it's time for a White Wedding..........and Start Again!!!!!
You're right......... 12" version of "America" is 20 minutes. "Mountains" feels like 20 minutes, but is only 10
Here you are, just hope this is the correct version; Thanks to the uploader ‘DiscoSaturdayNightTV’ and for the previous ‘Sun Light One’
Feb 2017 Not seen mention of this 3 x CD compilation box set on the forums which may interest some. New Order Presents Be Music [FBN 60] | Various Artists | Factory Benelux Cheaper on Amazon ASIN: B01N5CSBK2 It is issued with an informative booklet containing quite extensive notes (track by track) for every release included in the set. Bear not included; Thanks to the uploader ‘maXimum8ies’ With better audio although still capable of blowing speakers, windows or even the foundations.

Depeche Mode really took the 12 inch mix to the next level. I'm so lucky to have gotten their singles box sets, which go for stupid money right now if you can find any of them. This is probably my favorite one, the "Split Mix" of Never Let Me Down Again. Best played very loud!
