Share: Propaganda - A Secret Wish (Original tracklist on CD)

[drivel]

Here is a CD FLAC rip of the original "vinyl" version of Propaganda's 'A Secret Wish': https://www.filemail.com/d/rsvvpibzhwrpdkv

Propaganda's 'A Secret Wish' was originally released on vinyl in July 1985, followed nearly three months later by the CD edition. However producer Steve Lipson used this delay as an opportunity to remix the album, and what emerged on CD was a very different beast.

The CD version of the album was over 10 minutes longer than the original, included an extra track "Frozen Faces" and had a different track order, while many of the tracks were remixes or alternate versions (in fact only "The Murder of Love", "Sorry for Laughing" and "The Chase" remain untouched from the original release).

However when 'A Secret Wish' was eventually released on CD in the U.S. in 1987, it was the original version of the album that was used (although the artwork begged to differ). This release and its 1990 reissue are the only CDs to feature the original release tracklist.


A1 – Dream Within a Dream (08:03)
A2 – The Murder of Love (05:17)
A3 – Jewel (03:08)
A4 – Duel (04:42)
B1 – p:Machinery (03:49)
B2 – Sorry for Laughing (03:27)
B3 – Dr. Mabuse (First Life) (04:57)
B4 – The Chase (04:05)
B5 – The Last Word/Strength to Dream (02:59)

Total length: 40:27

Thanks, drivel. I always thought the original short version of this album was the best.

Thanks, drivel. I always thought the original short version of this album was the best.

I owned the vinyl release for several years before getting the CD, and the differences really scrambled my brain!

Thank you so much for the share and providing its album history. I am a new fan of Propaganda and had no idea of differences in tracks between two formats.

Thank you. I don't think I had this version.

Well, that explains. I was always confused with the differences in track listing printed on the CD and Back cover (on the US CD).

Thanks Drivel.

The 2010 reissue has both variations.

The 2018 remaster is the best sounding version but it has the original CD track listing.
