Hey group,

Need some advise from nerdy Trancers.

I own 3 copies of this vinyl (lol, don't ask me why I have 3 copies):

Discogs Link

Now... if you look at Rank 1 remix it is indeed 06:34 length. The intro is terribly cut, actually, faded in as if the intro was cut.

I know, for a fact, that there is a real full length version of it. Now, on Beatport I've found these 2 identical versions, with just a slight difference in the duration:
Longer One
Shorter One

The shorter ones would make me think of it being the exact same version I have on Vinyl, but is there anyone who had positive experience with the other version? I mean, is that version the proper full-extended uncut one? (If so, it drives me crazy wondering why the REMASTERED version would be cut shorter).

Or if you know a link which is 100% sure it is the full-extended one, please, let me know 'cause I really need to get this thing fixed after so many years lol.


Thaaaanks! ✌️

Proper nerdy question, love it! You can get the full remastered version on Beatport, 06:49 with a drum roll type intro. Just do a more thorough search.

This remix was probably Rank 1's first after their success of Airwave. You can see that it borrows heavily from it. Nevertheless an excellent track which I have always loved.

I'm not fully sure what your question is, but the full-length version is 6:48 long. As far as I can see, the 6:33 long version got remastered.

That was my question:
I mean, is that (Beatport linked) version the proper full-extended uncut one?

Meaning, can I go safe by purchasing that track or will that track be, again, cut/faded in at the very beginning? (I know it's an intro, by the look of the wave but, still, cannot give it 100% granted, due to the previous vinyl experience).

Thanks for confirming! Yeah, super-nerd question I know, but it really has to be like that when it comes to collecting music. Thanks a lot! yeah it's got some similar structure of Airwave most famous track, although I would probably say this being the beginning of a list of lucky remixes they've done (first one coming to my mind is their Baby D remix).
