    Question Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free - A Question

    I recently picked up a copy of the UK 12" on the Warner Bros. label from 1976. This is considered to be a real collectors piece and looking on popsike sells for megabucks on Ebay when it (rarely) appears. I paid no where near the going price & was surprised to find it. I bought it from a highly reputable source who no way would knowingly sell a copy. It is in absolute mint condition.

    I noticed that there was an 8' 42" version of this tune - the 12" I have is the more standard 4' 10" version. Does anyone know if there are (or were) bootlegs/copies of this record printed or floating around? Equally if someone has a copy of the same record is it 4 minutes long or 8 minutes long?

    As I said I didn't pay much for it at all - so I don't feel as though I would have been 'ripped off' if it turns out to be a copy. Just interested to know

    Cheers
    Russ

    The version you are seeking is a U.K. 12" remix of Young Hearts Run Free issued in 1986. It was mixed by John Morales & Sergio Munzibai known as M & M and runs over 8 minutes. The Warner Brothers record number is W8680T. You can view a scanned copy of the disc on the website Discogs. The link is: Candi Staton - Young Hearts Run Free.

    I have the U.K. 12" of "Young Hearts..." and the remixed version as well, IMO, stick with the original version. the remix has a very dated 80's sound to it.

    There is also an American WB promo 12" of "Run To Me" that is extended, has a great instrumental break and pressed very loud, it's also available on this CD:

    The Best of Candi Staton by Candi Staton (Audio CD - 1995)

    Why they never did an extended version of "Young Hearts..." back in the day is beyond me.

    Thanks Ken! So it is the 1986 remix that is referred to as the 8 minute version. So perhaps my 4'10" 1976 12" copy is an original..let's wait & see!
