just couldnt believe that anybody never commented on the fact that you had re-editied 'Voodoo Ray' which I'm sure alot of people see as 'sacred'

Yeah, but it's a pretty good edit if I say so meself wink.gif

Seriously though, I'm well aware of the tracks legendary status and wanted to mark the 20th anniversary of its appearance on the UK chart. So it's very much in tribute and all done with the full blessing of Gerald himself.

To be honest, I think that edits are generally more true to the original than the dreadful square peg in round hole type 'remixes' that have been banged out for years on end to squeeze more sales, this time out of people who couldn't care less about the original (and often use the absolute minimum amount of it, sullying its good name with inappropriate wholesale changes).

Greg- I'm interested to know why you decided to re-edit "love is the drug" - in it's original form its pretty much unbeatable.

Hi Wee Gee: It's never about trying to 'beat' the original for me, but providing a valid alternative to it (initially to play out myself).

Just posted info on the vinyl release here:

Reason I edited 'Love Is The Drug' explained in there.

Ah right biggrin.gif

Any chance of you tackling Barry Blue's "dancing on a saturday night" for me? The bouzuki solo was never long enough for my liking...

biggrin.gif wink.gif

You never know. 'Dancing On A Saturday Night' and 'Do You Wanna Dance' were guilty pleasures of mine when I was a nipper wink.gif

Went on to produce Heatwave did Barry Blue.

No guilt at my end Greg. biggrin.gif

Played "dancing on a saturday night" out a couple of months ago to good effect.

Actually, if you do decide to do a Barry Blue re-edit "do ya wanna dance" might work better...
