    Miss Ross' "No One Gets The Prize/The Boss"

    I have Miss Ross' "Diana" deluxe edition CD, and the two-song medley "No One Gets The Prize/The Boss" clocks in at 9:38. I have seen a 6:38 version on a Billboard disco compilation, and that was the original promo 12" version. Apparently, this longer version was released (no reference to it being unreleased), but does anyone know when? Was it at the same time the 6:38 version had come out? The 9:38 version is labeled a "re-edit" on the CD.

    I could be wrong but I think this 're-edit' was done for the CD. My original 12" of NOGTP/TB from 1979 is 6:38. It's the only one I've seen.

    I actually think the best 'remix' of NOGTP is the Danny Krivit version on his "Edits by Mr. K" CD. 9:08 --- just flawless. Plus, I never liked the fact that Motown forced a medley of this song rather than just giving us a 12" single.

    ... and long versions of The Boss (Original 12", 7:15) and It's My House (Original Promo 12" Remix 6:07) are on the cd release of the Boss lp out in 1999.

    The original promo-only only 12" (Jimmy Simpson remix)for "No One Gets the Prize" (6 minutes, 20 seconds) appears on "The Motown Anthology" by Miss Ross (2 CD set covering her "Motown Years"). Too bad it couldn't have been included on "The Boss" remastered CD.

    The Disconet version edited by Chico "Super" Starr of No One Gets The Prize is great if you can locate it...
