Default A Donna Summer Question

Was there ever a 12" single out there, promo or commercial, of Donna Summer's, "Theme from The Deep (Down Deep Inside)"? I seem to remember some friends of mine getting it on blue vinyl with vocal and instrumental. Am I dreaming? I've seen the John Barry soundtrack album available on blue vinyl and a ton of Casablanca 7" singles, but no 12".

Help end the anguish :( . I could be looking for something that doesn't exist.

Nicky,

I found a 12" of "The Deep" at Amoeba. Don't think it had vocal/instrumental versions; Seems like it had one of her LP cuts on the flip side or maybe there was no flip, seeing it was Casablanca!!!! I'll look tonight, if no one gives a definitive answer.

"Theme from The Deep" is included in a one sided Casablanca 12", together with "I feel love" (NBD 20104 from 1977).
I have it on black vinyl. If memory serves me correctly only the LPs were on blue wax

Interestingly enough, that song was the "More" on Donna's "Live and More", CD version. On the LP it's "MacArthurPark Suite" but for time reasons they replaced it with a shorter song on the CD. Didn't like that but "Deep Down Inside" is a good track. I like the music to it and during the moan interludes I can picture being underwater with the sunlight shining brightly on top as I wander through the depths of the ocean blue... :D

Thanks, guys. I know I never had the lp but I did have the song. So, assuming Giovanni is correct (we know he is :) ), that means my "I Feel Love" 12" has flown. Lately it's become quite clear why my lover didn't like me lending my music out. :x

Yes i'm only aware of the 7" too. I always wanted there to be an extended version of this track as its one of her best IMO. (I do know though that 12"ers aren't necessarily extended versions every time!)
