Lime III - remixed LP

[Broomfield1965]

Hi all

I think this is a fantastic site, so glad I found you all! I am bound to be a regular visitor now I know that you are all here :)

Now I have an opportunity to ask if anyone can help me? I remember in about 1985 or so seeing a copy of Lime's "Lime III" LP on the US Prism label and on the front cover it stated "continous mix" or something like that. This was in Record Shack on London. Anyway, I was only a poor kiddie at that time and I think it was about £10 then, so didn't get it.

Now, I can find absolutley no reference to it on any website. I have tried ebay for years with no luck, though from searching for it I did track down the Canadian picture disc version which is nice (though the mythical green vinyl of Lime II still evades me!).

Has anyone ever seen this remixed version? Does it even exist or was I dreaming it?

Thanks! xxx

Hi and welcome, have never seen a remixed Lime 3 album. Re Lime D was a continous mix, there is also Guilty/Angel eyes Medley and their Greatest Hits has Remixed versions on it.
Do think you were dreaming.

Hmm, well I am familiar with those re;eases and to be honest, I am fairly sure that they were released after the Lime III I saw... Anyway, thanks for the reply!

You said it was the PRISM release, that you remember...
PRISM always released the remixed versions of the LIME LPs. Or, in the case of LIME II, re-released it with the remixes on it.

So... The PRISM release of LIME III would probably have been stickered as "includes the M+M Remixes", or something like that. And would've had the M+M remixes of "Guilty", Angel Eyes" and, possibly "On The Grid".

I know the promo PRISM LP didn't have the M+M remix of "Angel Eyes", but I'd bet it was re-released with it, after the 12" came out.

hi ya,
Mr broomfield, you were not dreaming of this album...i saw the very same one when i was in fire island in edinburgh around '85..it was a prism release and had all the tracks mixed together as a continuous play, it even started where it left off on side 2!! i only have it on c-90 tape tho .. i do have that ellusive copy of lime II on lime green vinyl and a picture disc of the greatest hits re-mixes(nearly played to death!!) just joined this site and it's great talking to folk about hi nrg..

Hey Pedroski!

I knew it, I knew it I KNEW it! I knew I wasn't dreaming. Thank you so much for confirming this. I know I have to find it now!

So, you have the green vinyl Lime II? Is there anyway you could scan this in for us?

Also, the picture disc of 'Greatest hits'. Is this CD or vinyl? I have the vinyl picture disc of Lime 3 and had no idea there may be a vinyl picture disc of the hits LP. I have contacted Unidisc for info on the Lime 3 picture disc, as I am not able to find out if it was meant for regular sale or if it was only meant for promotional use, but they have no details on file of this release! I doubt anyone would want to bootleg this release, as unlike Madonna, or the Beatles picture disc bootlegs I have seen, I doubt that a Lime release would attract much mass appeal and therefore, sales.

Thanks again, VERY much appreciated!

i'll get a pic on line4u!! when i was djing in the 80's there was a lot of bootleg stuff flying around that were very much like the originals...take the disco breaks(peter slaghuis stuff) i'll dig them out and check serials...take it your a lime fan??? there's a track from way back in the early days that i have from lime (b4 lime) that should have been released called forever and it still stands out as one of the best tracks they have ever done..i'm at the moment trying to complete my patrick cowlry collection,there's a few jap imports that are elluding me..i cant believe how many folk collect this stuff!!! i thought i was alone...and a bit mad!!
