I've been looking everywhere for an extended mix of A-ha's "The Sun Always Shines on TV". It is not the Steve Thompson mix that is over 8 minutes and begins with a percussive beat. This particular mix sounds closer to the original and is much rarer. Does anyone have this mix? Thanks!

it can be this ??...

No, that one is the same lousy drumbeat mix (didn't download it but I have the vinyl).


"The cover of the UK 12" is the same as the 7" except that it mentions the extended version and the b-side on both front and reverse. There are two different UK 12" releases available of "The Sun Always Shines On T.V."-single. However the difference can not be detected by just looking at the cover. Some copies come with a "U.S. Steve Thompson Dance Mix"-sticker but not even this detail gives away the difference. When listening to and measuring the times of the tracks the differences become evident. While the so called "U.S. Steve Thompson Dance Mix" (8:25) starts off with a percussion drum beat (grooves finish approx. 1.5cm from record centre), the shorter extended version (7:09) which is the rarer one, features a slow piano intro. before the steady drum beat commences (grooves finish approx. 2.5cm from centre of record)."

I've really really grown to loathe Rapid Share... Between their pop up's and the wait then trying to read their pass code. *sigh* then having to do it all again if you read it wrong. [:(]

thanks for the file though.
