Sorry I don´t understand what you mean!

Ha ha ha! What he’s trying to say is that EMI copyrighted the whole Joyride album to prevent importing cheaper US copies. That’s also why the US version has one song less.
I doubt they succeeded.

Poor EMI... ;) back then they were fighting that they got less money for their CDs.. now they are fighting that they don’t get anything.... I wonder what they would choose today?! ;-))

I’m not understanding this :-S Can someone explain in greater detail, please? :-)

Okay, so I’ll bite: What was the song missing on the US release of Joyride and where does it fit in the song order? I’m guessing it’s I Remember You.

Yeah its I remember you, but the song order on the US release is a little bit mixed up from what i can remember. I think Soul Deep is towards the start of the album?

Hands up if you have the US version! ?

I have it ! Some years ago a guy from the USA sent me the US versions of Look Sharp!, Joyride, and Tourism. Cant remember what I sent him..ah yea , I sent him 2 or 3 “The ballad hits” :).

MiracleMan said on June 25, 2005 17:59:

I have the US version, of course. Surprised there’s another version.

Here’s the order:

1. Joyride
2. Hotblooded
3. Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)
4. Knockin’ On Every Door
5. Spending My Time
6. Soul Deep
7. Watercolours In The Rain
8. The Big L.
9. (Do You Get) Excited?
10. Church Of Your Heart
11. Small Talk
12. Physical Fascination
13. Things Will Never Be The Same
14. Perfect Day

The non-US version, according to CDON is:

1. Joyride
2. Hotblooded
3. Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)
4. Knockin’ On Every Door
5. Spending My Time
6. I Remember You
7. Watercolours In The Rain
8. The Big L.
9. Soul Deep
10. (Do You Get) Excited?
11. Church Of Your Heart
12. Small Talk
13. Physical Fascination
14. Things Will Never Be The Same
15. Perfect Day

Soooo. . . there’s a slight difference. Not sure about that particular lineup as I’m so used to the one I’ve always had, but I Remember You is one of my favorites. I’m glad it made it on an actual CD and not just a B-side to Spending My Time.
