The version of "Could've Been" just played last week is different from the one played last month. The version played on the 2/6/88 show has some echo effects in the verses while the one played on 3/12/88 does not have those effects. Is one of them the album version while the other is the 7" single version?

^ The version that sounds more "echoey" is the album version. The other would be the single mix.

Noting the past week's 70s countdown, did AT40 ever play "Touch The Wind," the English B-side of Mocedades' "Eres Tu" ?

I got to hear the Star Trek show yesterday, and Shadoe played a different version of "Love Will Never Do (Without You)", not the one usually heard. About the only way I can describe it is, its sound is less "punchy" than the usually-heard song is - instead, it's more mellow. Anyone know what this might be?

Probably a version on the CD single or Radio Promo. I have the show but haven't listened to it so Im not sure.

The song in the first LDD on the 4/7/1984 is Just the Way You Are and the version played was one that had a couple lines I've never heard before (Don't go trying some new fashion/Don't change the color of your hair). Was this the album version?

As far as I know that was always part of the original 45

Yeah - they generally played the single version, that goes right to the bridge after the first chorus (the very version they played on the 1978 show this weekend). It was nice to hear the full album version for a change.

Throwing this out of there to see if anyone remembers this:
Casey played an odd version of "How 'Bout Us" on the chart week Champaign's single was sitting at its peak of #12 in the spring of 1981. I don't remember what he said about it, but I think was done several years earlier by an previous incarnation of the group, maybe even under a different name.
If anyone can elaborate on this, I would greatly appreciate this.

The original version had a bit more of a funk-rock flavor to it than the then-current hit version, which was slicker and more pop-soul-sounding. |

That's correct... the original version played that week was recorded as The Water Brothers Band. If you don't have the 6/6/81 AT40, you can compare the two versions here. |

The version of Let's Wait Awhile on this week's 1987 show sounds like a combination of the album version and another version that I've heard on the radio in the past (a couple times on a local station that plays "old school" songs).

In 1992, there was an odd version played of "I'm The One You Need" by Jody Watley. It wasn't the one my local Top 40 station was playing. Oh yes, I never found out about that version, it's not any of the remixes I found, only similar to some of them. Sometimes they had a different version of a song that was not available anywhere, I guess they were only promo edits. A good example is Calloway's I wanna be rich, that wasn't the album or single version, and I never found in any of their singles/maxis releases. And in the Shadoe era they used to play different mixes when the song was going down the chart. I remember Technotronic's Get up (before the night is over) and Michel'le's No more lies, but I wouldn't call them odd versions. |
