The extended version of Crime of Passion (4.08)
is missing on The Platinum Collection. Instead we get
the 7" version (3.38), while all other songs are presented
in their extended 12" single version ... what a pitty!

Who knows why?

I'm not sure exactly why, but it could simply be that the extended version just wasn't 'good enough' to stick on the compilation for whatever reason.

I have that extended mix on an old scratched 12''. it's really not worth it - it just drags the song out a little more than on the seven-inch. :D

A bit like 'To France', which made it to to the release all the same. I Would love to have the extended version all the same, though. I love that song.

A trusty Amstrad clock radio cassette player shielded me from the need or desire to purchase vinyl in the eighties, but I fancy I would have been a mildly disappointed purchaser of 12-inch records, however much extra I'd have been paying for them.  I now know that several songs I recorded and loved off the radio were the maxi-versions, and feel a little short-changed when the 7-inch mixes come up these days.  In a great many more cases, I present the less is more argument!

Where Mike is concerned, I've become fond of some extensions but his Platinum Collection interview demonstrates that his heart wasn't in much of what we hear.  And while I can appreciate it's a bigger deal to artists with Mike's methods, when his bosses order him to produce an extra minute or two of music, I can't say that 30 seconds and the same Jungle Gardenia would have impressed me much!

I wish I was able to experience MOs stuff as it came out.. :< But yes, I agree, we don't see the whole picture, but it's nice to have some variations. The 'Shadow on the Wall' extended version is, in my opinion, much better.
