Let's create the ultimate 12" versions collection, what should be included?

A lot of people on this forum like 12" versions, the ones from the 80's are loved but also the 90's does have a lot of great extended versions. What would be great if 12" lovers would give their choices for an ultimate 12" collection with a lot of volumes. Of course, for your own listening pleasure. Which 12" singles/extended versions would make a great 12" boxset? How would your boxset would look like of you could include the best 12" versions out there. Your ideas...

 

I really like my 12" version of "O, Superman" by Laurie Anderson.

 

That's a great one indeed. 8:21 minutes long if i'm not mistaken. Here we have the first one on the list. Keep your choices coming. I will add them to compile an ultimate out for example 10 or 20 volumes with 15 in each folder.

 

Level 42 - Hot Water [Megamix]

 

Miss You - Stones
Superman and Low Budget - The Kinks (the album verions always seem like bad edits after you hear these)
Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go - Soft Cell
Let's Dance - David Bowie
Goodnight Tonight - Wings
Rock the Casbah - Clash (not extended, but a better mix)

 

The Cure - Why Can't I be You

 

Anything off disc A of New Order's Substance. My vote would be for "Thieves Like Us".

 

Wasn't that the same as the 7" version and the album version, i.e. 8+ minutes?

Great track btw.

I would include a bunch of ZTT mixes (Art Of Noise, FGTH).

 

Not a big fan of rap, but add the Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight.

 

That's the one!

 

I'll add Regret-Fire Island

 

U2 - "Desire" - Hollywood Remix

 

Just listening to one now actually! Chic "Good Times", probably my favourite bass line ever.

 

The B-52's - Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland (Extended)
Simple Minds - Up On The Catwalk (Extended)
Missing Persons - Give (Extended)
Thomas Dolby - My Brain Is Like A Sieve (Extended)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground (Pearly 12")
Roxy Music - Angel Eyes (Extended)
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes (Annihilation)
Nik Kershaw - Wouldn't It Be Good (Extended)
Japan - Life In Tokyo (1982 Remix)
Human League - Sky (Plastic Plates Remix)
Faith No More - From Out Of Nowhere (Extended)
Oingo Boingo - Out Of Control (Funky Vocal Mix)
Bunny Wailer - Riding (12" Version)

 

Stranglers "No Mercy".

 

The Cure had a remix of "Pictures of You" on British 12-inch vinyl that hasn't appeared anywhere else -- different mixes have, but not that particular one.
All of Prince.
All of English Beat.
Alison Moyet's "Invisible."

 

I wish Rhino/ Warner would put up Yes' Big Generator period 12 inch remixes up on i-Tunes. They're all way better than the ones that were done for 90125.

 

The full 10 minute-plus 12-inch mix of McFadden & Whitehead's "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" leads my list.

Also:

Sparks - "Beat The Clock"
T-Connection - "At Midnight"
Double Exposure - "Ten Percent"
Gary Criss - "Rio de Janeiro"
Donna Summer - "MacArthur Park Suite"
Teri DeSario - "Ain't Nothing Gonna Keep Me From You"
Kat Mandu - "The Break"
Jackie Moore - "This Time Baby"
Lime - "Your Love"

I'm missing a ton...

 

Prince - Little Red Corvette (Dance Mix)
New Order - Perfect Kiss (12" Mix)
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax (sex mix)

 

The Pixies "Here Comes Your Man (So Long Version)"

Foreigner - That Was Yesterday

Donna Summer-This Time I Know It's For Real
