CD entries are currently shown in Pat's on-line db for this #1 disco classic, yet every single one of them is a V/A compilation - in other words, NONE are Anita Ward albums. Posted: 28 August 2015 at 11:30pm | IP LoggedĪ couple weeks ago, I couldn't help but notice that 79(!) U.S. The printed record label time is 3:30.) The only reason I mention this is because database CDs of this song containing a "45 version" comment range from 3:28-3:33. I thought I'd bring this thread back up to reiterate the actual commercial 45 run time of Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell" is 3:31, which Ron correctly stated early in his initial post. 3 (1992) are both digitally identical to this disc. Note that Great '70s Dance Grooves (1992) and Disco Hits, Vol. Records (1990 outstanding sound - on par with The Disco Years Vol. Rhino's Get Down Tonight: The Best Of T.K.Posted: 04 February 2009 at 11:20am | IP Logged Might this different mix be an original, but unreleased, mix of the song? The "Midnight Mix By Richie Rivera" credit on the 45 may be a clue, but I'll have to defer to those more familiar with the Miami TK stuff from the late '70s.Įdited by crapfromthepast on 02 February 2009 at 3:16pm Rhino's New Millennium Disco Party - The Divas (2000, digital clone of above CD but way too loud and has lots of clipping).Rhino's Billboard Top Hits - 1979 (1991, runs 3:33, sound excellent this CD also includes an early fade of the LP version of "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" rather than the 45 edit).Dominion's Disco Fever - 80 megastarke Disco-Hits (1993, German release, runs 4:04, sound severely muffled)Īnd finally, there's a version that has the correct vocals but a completely different instrumentation (no "BYOOO" sound on the opening downbeats, for starters) on:.EMI Australia's Seventies Complete Volume 2 (5-CD set, 1997, runs 4:05, sound OK).There's a version that (I think) is an early fade of the LP version, on: Simitar's The Number Ones: Party Time (1998, runs 3:14, sound pretty good).There's a version that cuts off the first 8 beats of the 45 version AND fades too early on: Priority's Mega-Hits Dance Classics (Volume 1) (1989, clips a bit).Connoisseur Collection's 100 All Time Classic Dance Hits Of The 1970s (5-CD set, 1988, UK release, really horrendous EQ).There's a version that fades about 14 seconds too early on: Madacy's Rock On - 1979 (1996, digitally exactly 0.1 dB quieter than Sounds Of The Seventies CD).Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies - 1979 (1990, runs 3:30, sound very good and just a hair under The Disco Years.).There's a version that's basically the 45 version, but with a fade that starts 16 beats later than on the true 45, at 3:25, and ends before the fade on the true 45. Razor & Tie's The '70 Preservation Society Presents Disco Fever (1991, runs 3:31).3 (1992, digitally identical to Sony Music CD) Rhino Special Editions' Disco Hits, Vol.Sony Music Special Products' Great '70s Dance Grooves (1992).Time-Life's Solid Gold Soul - 1979 (1997, different EQ than Disco Years).Billboard Top Dance Hits - 1979 (1992, digitally identical to Disco Years).The closest thing to the true 45 version is found on the following CDs (the fade starts 4 beats earlier than the true 45 but you really can't tell unless you line the tracks up in a multitrack editing program like I did): The true 45 has a fade that begins on the downbeat at 3:18. The 45 and 12" both include the credit of "Midnight Mix By Richie Rivera". The 12" single is on TK Records, runs at 45 RPM, has a printed time of 8:08, and is probably the same version as on the Songs Of Love LP, which is on Juana. The (presumably) first pressing has a featureless red label, and the (presumably) second has a more familiar-looking sky-graphic label, with an animated "Juana" logo at the top and a sunset scene at the bottom. I have two pressings of the 45, both on Juana Records 3422, released 1979, printed 3:30, actual 3:31. I found a surprising number of variations for this song, which probably isn't documented all that well elsewhere.
