Pls repost this legendary release. Thanks in advance.
Hi Paul. I realized this rip has a problem. The beginning of the Extended Remix has either a skip in it or your software (from 2015) cut it up, or this 12″ pressing is defective (I have the USA 12″). You can find various posts on Youtube with the correct intro. It would be great if you could re-post this some day. Thanks for all your hard work!!
Pls make this classic remix available for download again … Thank you!
Hey Paul, forever gratitude to you for doing what you do. I just heard about the new “Heartbeat City” remaster, and even though the club mix of “Hello Again” is included, there is no dub version in sight. This is so depressing. Again, thank the Gods that we have you for doing an incredible job keeping this sought-after tracks alive!! Even on the New Wave Outpost, you’re mentioned on having a great rip of the dub!! Please know that you are and will be forever appreciated!!
In Awe!!
Jeff
great, thank you
So many fingers in this mix! Latin Rascals on the Edits! Chris Lord-Alge (tracks: A1, A2) , Tom Lord-Alge, Mutt Lange
And Arthur Baker . . These were the good days. .
🙂
Great i missed this first time around!
Thanx for this one, Paul!!!
I hope to see more mixes from Arthur Baker here 🙂
Greetings from Brazil
Rest in peace, Ben Orr.
Second that.
Wow, this is a great mix! Thank You, Paul!
Do you have “Secret Service (1981) Flash In The Night (Canada “12)”?
sorry Meadows I don’t have that 12″ at this time as more donations come in I will do mt best to get a copy 🙂
Paul!!! You’ve started my engine running rapidly!! I am so EXCITED for this re-rip!! Arthur Baker’s mix was fantastic, and I do have it on a couple of CD compilations, but I am living for the dub version!! I wish Arthur Baker visited here because I’d love to ask him about this mix!! There’s all sorts of (I think) Warner Bros.’ character sound effects in the mix, like Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner. The “Meep Meep” like when the coyote went over the cliff and you hear “Hello. Hello Again.” Such an interesting mix. And those great orchestral stabs… Read more »
You’re welcome Jeff. This mix and 12″ is out of this world I also love all of the effects poured into this one Arthur Baker and company really pulled out all the stops on this project. So hopefully someone will compare the sound quality of the old rip with this new transfer. I alwys wonder if the new ones sound better 🙂
Jeff, I have always loved the Dub mix as well…especially given the age/timeframe of this song and the tools back then. To help you out on some of the specific samples on the dub: 2:40 (and sampled/sped up later) is the beginning of Mickey’s Monkey by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles 3:20 “uh oh” is Bugs Bunny 3:52 laugh “he he he what?” is Bugs Bunny again…I believe from the Halloween special where he is at Hansel and Gretel’s house with the witch 5:32-5:40 Bugs again ———— on the Remix: 5:02 that fall and explosion is definitely Warner Brothers probably… Read more »
Hey Fred!! Thanks so much for this awesome info concerning the mix. It’s so cool to have someone who really gets into things as much as I do. Ah, the old days when sampling went rampant and crazy ideas and manual tape editing was the state of the art! I am so blessed to have Paul in my life because he’s preserving these ignored “extra” mixes that the compilations ignore. No one does it better than Paul. This guy’s an artisan as well. I could almost see his name on a record label because he cares so much for the… Read more »
Hey Jeff, Fred and Paul, I am fairly sure most of the Bugs Bunny samples came from the 1979 Bugs Bunny/Road Runner movie (mostly classic toons strung together by new animation) – I recoded it on Beta from HBO and watched it over and over. So, I knew most of the clips by heart. Samples from the Bullfighter cartoon are used several times. Also, at the time, this was about the only way to get sound bites from WB toons, unless you got lucky and recorded them on afternoon/Saturday mornings. You know, on the Redbull interview with Baker, he confessed… Read more »
Great re-rip, Paul!
is the dub version of the 7″ (5.02) an edit of this 12″ dub version (6.11) ?
have you got also
Sharpe & Numan “Change your mind” or/and Sharpe & Niles “Famous people” ?
many thanks.
Not sure if it’s an edit BE.D12” I don’t have the 7″ to check. I have “Change Your Mind” will post it when I can 🙂
Awesome would love a Sharpe + Numan 12″. Do you have much in the way of Numan in any guise?
Thanks Paul. Do you also have 12″ single Heartbeat City?
Sorry I don’t Omar is it a remix?
i think it’s just the album version. It was a UK single.
