Hey Paul do you have the 7″ or the album version of this song? I feel like it’s just as hard to find, as its only available on some import compilations
WOW thanks for this! I never have heard such a clear version of this extended mix. Would be GREAT ir you could post the European “Hot Stuff” 12″ (this has add libs not on the US 12″), The US and Euro “Unconditional Love” 12″es (the US one has a edit of the 12″ mix of SWHFTM as B-Side, the Euro 12″ has a “Unconditional Love” Instrumental), the US 7″ of “The Woman In Me” for the Single mix, the Euro 12″ for “Stop, Look & Listen” for the Remix, the Euro 12″ for “She Works Hard For The Money” for… Read more »
thanks paul for another brilliant rip and upload. i’m a huge admirer of your work.
there is in fact another even longer unedited version of walk away. according to one of many donna summer-sites, it was first avaialble on cd on this compilation, http://www.allmusic.com/album/lets-start-the-dance-vol-2-mw0000206171, and it clocks in at about 8.30. however if that was the debut on cd, it means that there must’ve been another promo circulating at the time. i’ve been looking everywhere to find it. however, i do have the cd-rip of the long-long version, so just let me know if you want it.
best regards,
micke
I would like it! LOL
Thanks Paul! 🙂
I could never understand why they put a label on it that says “Loaned for Promotion”. Does the record label really want a used record back? What could they possibly use it for?? LOL!
The full length version was released on cd last year on “Disco Discography Volume 1” 😉
Fantastic! Thank you!
Such as an awesome item. thanks!
The queen lives on….. thanks for the special promo!
OUTSTANDING JOB. MILLIONS THANKS DJPAUL T
Alain
Brilliant record, been looking a long time. You are massive!
Thank you Johnny 🙂
My jaw dropped when I saw today’s post. I’d only dreamed about hearing such a quality rip of the full extended version. You made my dream come true.
I cannot thank you enough for preserving the music of this era, and giving it the respect it deserves.
aah you are so welcome Seebe. I really enjoyed doing this one 🙂
MORE DONNA!!! YAY!!!!!!
🙂
Happy Weekend, Paul!
Yes this sure was eclipsed by Last Dance, and I don’t know why it’s edited too on the CD, space constraint?
Anyhow that doesn’t matter now coz we have your rip!
Thanks for bringing us all these Hot Stuff on this Summer trip!
Hi Ric and Happy weekend to you my friend 🙂
paul! downloaded the mp3 rar and used the password burningtheground but it’s telling me that the structure is damaged. please help! love your work! you’re the best!
Sy not sure how to help you. I have not had anyone else tell there is a problem. Try clearing your cache and downloading again. Make sure you let the download completely finish. Also make sure you enter the password correctly remember it is case sensitive. Hope this helps.
Oh, Paul!! 🙂 how I like that soundtrack “Thanks God It’s Friday”! So many great songs there: Diana’s “Lovin’, Livin’ and Givin'”, “Love Masterpiece” by Thelma Houston, “Too Hot Ta Trot” by The Commodores and Donna’s tracks “With Your Love”, “Je t’aime… moi non plus” and “Last Dance”! G-r-e-a-t!
Thanks a lot dear Paul for this new surprise to us!
Spring one of my all-time favorite soundtracks and even movie in fact I am planning to watch the DVD tonight. Have a nice weekend 🙂
Thnaks for the full version!
You’re welcome Drake!
thank you for another gem, paul. and happy National Donut Day.
Lol you’re welcome Matt.
Many thanks to you Paul for the flawless rip. This is truly a treasure in 24flac. I have always liked this song, and I think it should have been a much bigger hit, but it was totally eclipsed by the massive success of “Last Dance”. I did a re-work of this track and threw in some samples, anyone can come and listen to it on my blog. If you like my edit/remix, drop me a note and I’ll send you the link to download it.
You’re welcome Gianni. 24 bit flac out shines any CD in my opinion. I always prefered this one over “Last Dance” but both are great. Have a good weekend.
This unedited mix is available on a great CD called Disco Discography. Thanks for sharing one of Donna’s best regardless!
You’re welcome Ryan.
It’s on Disco Discography but I wouldn’t call it a great CD personally. The selection was all overly familiar stuff, with a few moderately rare tracks but they suck. I paid over $15 for it and aside from “With Your Love” the only other tracks I like are the 12″ versions of “Heaven Must’ve Sent You” and “This Time Baby” which I already had for years along with most disco collectors. To me it felt like the collection had been slapped together knowing Donna fans would pay an exorbitant price for a Giorgio Moroder produced rarity making its CD debut.
Well, they weren’t overly familiar to me although I have been told they are well known. I loved every single track on the album so to me it was a great compilation.
OMG OMG OMG this version is so rare! so thrilled to finally have this sound so great! thanks so much! =)
Happy to share it Marty :0
Thanks Paul, I’ve always been a Donna Summer and these gems you always publish are a real treat for all of us. Thanks once again
You are very welcome Manuel.
If you have any of the other “Thank God, It’s Friday” promo mixes to share, that would be very cool. Very few of them have been available and I believe the bulk of the original double-and-a-half album was issued as a series of promos.
This is the only one that I have. The entire series is very hard to find in a complete set and ultra expensive.
omg! yay thank you so much for this. this song is so underrated and one of my favorites of her 70’s output. i couldn’t for the life of me understand why this was edited down on the dance collection. Especially since that release actually had great sound quality.
You’re welcome Ray. I don’t understand why it was edited either since the vinyl version of The Dance Collection had the full version. It remains a mystery 🙂
Hi Paul,
Keep up with your good work and great songs your posting 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂
Hi Paul, another breath-taking piece of your vinyl rip art. very profesionally. thanks so much!
You’re welcome Dancemachine! Have a nice weekend 🙂
THANK YOU PAUL!
You’re welcome Rob!
