80s hits where the 7" and 12" versions are absolutely identical, without even so much as an extra track, thus disappointing you hugely when you get back from the second-hand store

"joan of arc" (the first one) and "genetic engineering" by OMD.

my old flatmates and i did that once with black sabbath's "into the void" and joy division's "transmission". through guitar amps.

it sucked.

NB: i mean two versions of each song at a time. not "void" and "transmission" together.

mind you ...

Play them at the same time STACKED ON THE SAME RECORD PLAYER.

but the point is..12" sound better. and are easier to mix with.

yeh, 'cos i'm sure loads of people mixed with "4-neu" and "the romance of the telescope". they could at least have stuck an extra track on the b-side. miserable sods.

wow, i think i have (very) delayed anger issues towards OMD here.

doesn't the label of the Transmission 12" have a misprint that claims that the song is 7 or 8 minutes long? i'm sure it's Transmission that i'm thinking of. i was practically wetting myself with anticipation on the bus home after buying it, and when i got back...same as ever. which is still brilliant, obviously, but 7 or 8 minutes of Transmission? duuuuude!

did duran duran invent the 12 " so people can stay dancing to 7 minutes of 3 minutes ?
