    Real easy Donna Summer question: Heaven Knows LP?

    Does anyone know which LP Heaven Knows is on? Is she doing a duet with her husband for this song?

    It's part of the "MacArthur Park Suite" and was originally on the "Live And More" LP as well as a 12" single (some versions of which are slightly remixed). However, it's not on the CD version of "Live And More", probably due to space limitations. For the CD, you can it get on either "The Dance Collection" (original mix) or The Casablanca Story box set (remix). It's also on the Deluxe Edition of "Bad Girls" which just came out, but I don't know which version.

    IIRC, she is indeed doing a duet with her husband. Brooklyn Dreams also did a version of this song at the same time with Donna, and their parts are reversed on this version (he sings the lead, she sings backing).

    What fun it was to play with these on the turntables. I remember the first time I switched them. A friend came running into the booth, screaming: "All right, I know you're good, but you CAN'T DO THAT. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE VOCALS AROUND." I picked up the Brooklyn Dreams lp and showed it to him. He smacked me (lightly ) and left the booth with the biggest smile on his face. I'm sure I had a bigger smile on mine. :D

    Update: Finally got the Deluxe Edition of "Bad Girls". The MacArthur Park Suite included is the one with the remix of "Heaven Knows" (note the abrupt transition to MacArthur Park reprise).

    While this is a relief to those who want to get the remixed version without having to buy the Casablanca Story box set, I'd rather have the original -- which is only on "The Dance Collection", and with an annoying mastering flaw.
