"Oh, you'll never find that on CD!"
Because I will take it as a challenge!
I actually got a reissued copy of New Dimensions about a month ago and was sorely disappointed when I set it to playing and instead of Giorgio's awesome and seamless transition from Giving Up, Giving In to Looking For Love, Giving Up, Giving In came to an abrupt stop and the second track on the CD was actually the third cut on the original album, Falling In Love Again. This was followed by an awkward start to the previously mixed original second track.
WTF? I mean seriously, WTF?
I went on Discogs and found that the original recording had been issued on CD, but Discogs itself prevented it (and from what I could see, a slew of other original disco gems from the 70s) from being sold through the service.
That led me to eBay, where I found it for sale from a highly-rated seller in Mexico. I also found dozens more (also brand new, sealed) that I hope to eventually add to my collection, Discogs be damned.
Unlike the reissued version, this CD has all the original songs in their original order with the absolutely seamless transition between the first two tracks. It also includes a bonus of the original 12-inch extended remix of The Runner.
For those of us of a certain age, Heaven was—and remains—a disco.
What do you think of my ALL TIME FAVORITE Loving Is Really My Game by Brainstorm???? That one always gets my groove thing shaking,
Ooh! Thanks for reminding me of that one! I do have the original 12-inch vinyl, but I hadn't yet thought of looking for the album on CD…
Let me take a wild guess….Papayons on Ebay?!! You know it!! Invaluable resource for us disco fans, classic albums by Amii Stewart, Bionic Boogie, Richie Family, Tantra and many others. I have been ordering CDs from them for many years!
Shhh! Don't tell anyone!
