    Remixes that used two seperate songs in the mix ??

    ******


    Quote:









    Marsha Hunt




    The Other Side of Midnight / Heartache (12")


    Attic Records (Canada) / 1977 / ATT 1202
    12" Disco Single 45 RPM


    Produced By Pete Bellotte
    Special 12" mix by Wally MacDonald and Peter Frost


    TRACKLISTING:

    Side One
    1. The Other Side of Midnight / Heartache [Bellotte/Baldrusson] 11:05

    Side Two
    1. It's Never too Late to Fall in Love with you / 5:10
    If this mix was commonly used back in the day (west coast) ....I wasn't aware of it . If I indeed had heard it, I probably unwittingly credited the DJ with screwing around with the two songs on the spot..... ....


    Just came across it and I'm wondering ...
    ...this must be one of very few remixes that brought together two different songs :icon_confused:



    YES???

    "So Long" / "Give Me Love" 6:31 RIO Records
    bw "Summer Breeze" 4:32

    By Harry Chalkitis, probably most famous for producing Queen Samantha.

    There is also a RIO Records 12" single that has both songs seperate, one on each side.

    The two songs are just pasted together? Both are actually extended? Do you know the actual timing of each?

    Used to love to play this 12" back in the day...always kept the floor guessing!

    I can't tell if you both tracks are extended, but here's roughly how the mix goes. The mix starts with "Midnight," which runs until about 2:20. It then segues into "Heartache," which runs until about 4:43, at which point it segues back into "Midnight." That runs until just about 7:02. It segues back into "Heartache," which takes it to the fade (which, at my timing, is closer to 10:35 as opposed to the 11:05 on the label).

    Adding a couple extra details:
    The songs are taken straight from the LP (from start-to-finish, the BEST Pete Bellotte production of them all)
    and the mix was done like a Hot Tracks, or a DiscoNet.
    The 2nd time "The Other Side of Midnight" comes in, MacDonald runs it with a 2-beat echo and uses the spliced-in reverse tape loop to transition out of "Heartache".

    Does the RCA 12 inch with Odyssey mixed with Vicki Sue Robinson count? Easy Come Easy Go was mixed into Hold Tight.

    Re: Remixes that used two seperate songs in the mix ??

    I'm not sure I understand the question.....do you mean two separate songs by the same artist, or two separate songs, period? I've heard LOTS of remixes that had two (or more) separate songs mixed in. A local DJ took the hip-hoppy drum track from Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You" and for the first half on the track, laid the vocal from Prince's original on it. Then for the second half, he blended a couple of vocal lines from both versions....I thought it was brilliant. And the remixed version of "Girl You Know It's True" has a snippet of Bobby Brown's vocal hook from "Don't Be Cruel" mixed in. And so many rap tracks have more than one song mixed in that I can't even count them anymore.

    Remicks is looking for 12" singles where 2 songs were taken from the same artist (usually LP cuts) and segued together as a "medley". Not a DJ "live" mixed medley. Hope this short explanation helps.

    And Cory ..... Trust me, It'd be a rare instance that rap records :icon_razz: would be a sought after response to my inquires here at discomusic.com .... .


    But ya TDK .....it just struck me that very few (disco) remixes incorporated more than one song as Wally did to liven up Marsha Hunt's OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT by working in the strongly similar HEARTACHE




    And it doesn't necessarily have to be the same artist . I think Disco Funk gets bonus points for coming up with this one -

    Two Different songs AND by Two Different Artists !!



    Does the RCA 12 inch with Odyssey mixed with Vicki Sue Robinson count? Easy Come Easy Go was mixed into Hold Tight.

    Disco Funk






    And how about this one .......:icon_confused::icon_confused: :icon_confused:




    ..... some non-USA versions list them as separate tunes .....


    maybe partial credit ....

    I thought this was a treat on the flip of Delegation's Oh Honey. It's just a splice job but they seemed to fit nicely together.



    It seemed to set the stage for the Spinners hits that came along a couple years later.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned the combo-melding of Miss Ross' "No One Gets The Prize/The Boss" :icon_exclaim:

    Diana Ross It's My House b/w No One Gets the Prize / The Boss (Promo 12"): Vinyl Records @ DiscoMusic.com

    Then there is "First Choice Theme/Ain't He Bad" by First Choice. [oops, maybe this is just considered a "medley"?]

    Well... Considering they were released together, as a 12" single and separately, as 7" singles...
    I'll say Hot Stuff / Bad Girls

    Allen Harris & Nancy Martinez
    "Sunshine Reggae / La Vie En Rose"
    1981 MATRA

    Side A - mixed/edited together, back and forth (the same way Marsha Hunt was)
    Side B - they're separate tracks, as separate singles, by separate artists

    I'm sure I remember Paulinho Da Costa blending 'Deja Vu' into 'Love Til The End Of Time' on a 12" version in '79.

    Unless I missed it earlier in the thread, no one has mentioned:

    Crown Heights Affair - Dreaming A Dream (Goes Dancin'), which was a mix of the two tracks on a 12 inch in 1977.

    RCA apparently thought of a whole series with this idea: "The RCA Segue Series". I don't think they released more than three 12" singles:
    Back Together Again (Daryl Hall & John Oates)/Kerry (Stephen Dees) in 1976 (RCA 10022);
    Sound And Vision (by David Bowie)/Sister Midnight (by Iggy Pop) in 1977 (RCA JT-10965);
    Hold Tight (Vicki Sue Robinson)/Easy Come, Easy Go (Odyssey) (RCA 11066).
