Premium Stuff Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Hi everyone I wondered if there were different takes of Cynthia & Imaginations - Love Is Real (Blue Rock) There is definitely a version with an unusual atmospheric spoken intro - this one from Refosoul cynthia and the imaginations - love is real - However, there is also a version on Refosoul that skips the intro and goes straight to the main vocal. This is also how it appears on CD release My copy of the 45 has the long spoken intro Is the clipped version just artificially edited or did it also come out as an original on vinyl like that? Cheers Richard
bri pinch Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 HI RICHARD, MINE PLAYS THE SPOKEN INTRO VERSION, WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT MANY YEARS AGO AS A COVER UP IT WAS EDITED, BUT METHINKS IT WAS JUST TO CUT THE INTRO OFF WHICH I THINK IS AWFUL ANYWAY REGARDS, BRI.
Dave Pinch Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 I REMEMBER PAUL MCNAMARA PLAYING IT COVERED UP AS LA LA BROOKS IN THE MID NINETIES. HE ALWAYS MISSED THE SPOKEN INTRO OFF. THEN I HAD A TAPE FROM HIM ALSO MISSING THE INTRO OFF. I AGREE WITH BRI. AND THAT DONT HAPPEN VERY OFTEN:lol:. BOUGHT THE RECORD SOMETIME AFTER FOR THE FLIP AND PLAYED THIS SIDE AS YOU DO AND WATCHED THE DRAMA UNFOLD DAVE
Premium Stuff Posted July 31, 2010 Author Posted July 31, 2010 Cheers guys I don't mind the intro too much for listening at home as I think it gives the song a bit of 'tension' from the start and so a bit more impetus when it finally resolves into the main vocal section Can totally see why it would be edited for the dancefloor though Which is best to have issue or promo? Cheers Richard

Meanwhile, here is a scan from the laptop of an issue 2:58 and promo 2:25 - so maybe it's a promo versus issue difference? Cheers Richard Edited July 31, 2010 by Premium Stuff

Cheers Richard
Dave Pinch Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) i will check mine today. it a white promo but its the version with spoken intro but im not sure what time it states on the label. i think the run in is smaller on mine than the one in the scan above so perhaps there are promo`s with the intro cut off dave Edited August 1, 2010 by dave pinch
Dave Pinch Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 just checked the white demo and it says 2.58 on it . the same as the stock copy above. the other demo says 2.25 or summat on it so it looks like there is a promo with the spoken intro missed off dave
