acetates are very hard to come by, and there are many out there with unreleased mixes
(like the dreaming of me (extended mix) - depeche mode, etc).

the other instrumental mix i think is:
(How To Be A) Trillionaire (Harajuku Mix)

Is there an error or has The Lounge Sequence been released on CD?


probably a typo on my part, i thought the 2cd remaster had it, or it was on
one of the compilations, but looking now, it probably wasn't.

these however, are on cd now:
-------------------------------------------------------
9 3:31 How To Be A Millionaire (single remix)
15 6:13 Vanity Kills (the mendelsohn mix)

Because there is much, much more money to be made from a 'lexicon of love' musical. Long-term fans are not the target audience of most artists these days. The money is in over-priced ticket sales and if that can drag in a whole new audience who wouldn't, for example, ever attend an abc gig but will sit in a theatre for two hours and listen to people do bad cover versions while shoe-horning them into a 'narrative' so much the better.


by the way, as i've mentioned before, it's not really up to the band or martin fry.

myself and a friend have tried to license out the already available tracks for the super deluxe version of 'how to be a zillionaire',
and they were not interested, because they don't feel there is much of a demand, which might be true.

the only album from them that sells well is the lexicon of love, and they are done with that.

The best chance is with So80s, they are limited editions and apparently sell well. The Alphaville one charted in Germany. It's a shame the released was stopped by either ABC or the label.

Listening to Abracadabra for the first time. It's really good album. Better than UP and maybe even Alphabet City.

Daniel from Berlin posted this about the two supposed instrumental versions of Millionaire. Can anyone provide further details?

“billionaire mix” 3:37 – it is almost the original 7” single version with a few differences – mostly only drums in the verses and the end is with more ( longer ) sound/hall ( this mix you can find on youtube )

the 7″ instrumental $$$$$$ mix is basicly the new 7″ single mix with “how dollar…” intro and the “corruption…” middle and a simply “drum end” without any sound/hall.
.

This is the one with the Kraftwerk sample at the start?
Think the full version is hard to find. I just have the 4:41.
