Found This Cassette at the Flea Market...... Bought the (made in Germany) cassette tape in mint condition from my contact for $10.00  The plastic cassette case has no cracks and the inside paper cover has no rips, etc.

lol - I clicked on this expecting it to be a Tina Graham towel-whipping cassette...
This was a very odd release. An 8-track EP that basically would put people off buying the album - why would you when you have most of the tracks here instead? Are any of these edits? | |

From what I remember that was the only version of the 1999 (despite what it says on the cover) album available in Paris when I went there on a 2 week holiday in 1985ish. Always thought it was just a French release... and have always regretted not buying it (not sure why though!). What's the other non album track though? | |

Have not played the cassette yet. I'm curious to find out.

DMSR was ommitted from the CD version (don't know about tape) originally due to length limitations at the time. I'm guessing that is the 'extra' track they are referring to. | |

Tracks from the German cassette: States: "Includes 2 extra tracks not available on the album". Tracks listed on back of cassette Side 1 1. 1999 2. Little Red Corvette 3. Delirious 4. Free 5. How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore Side 2 1. Let's Pretend We're Married 2. Something In The Water (Does Not Compute) 3. Lady Cab Driver 4. D.M.S.R.

 remember the picture on the cover, but don't recall that release with DMSR as an extra track, when it was part of the North American album version. | |

Ok I have just dug out my single album copy of 1999.
The tracks are:- Side 1 1999 Little Red Corvette Delirious Side 2 Let's Pretend We're Married Something In The Water (Does Not Compute) Lady Cab Driver Therefore the extra tracks are 'How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore' and 'DMSR'

I found a vinyl edition of this back in the late 80's, but it doesn't have "How Come U Don't Call me Anymore" on it. [Edited 9/16/06 16:05pm] | |
