Notes
The song "New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)" first appeared in 1982 on the original UK/EU releases of the album of the same name. This standard album version runs 5:38.
A ~6:50 12" version was prepared using a slightly different mix with different drum fill panning, different intro synths, and added reverb. It was initially only released in 1983 on 12" in Italy (cat# VINX 1) and in the UK on a West German-made CD of the album. On reissues & compilations, it sometimes has the subtitle German 12" Mix or German 12" Remix, even though it was never released on 12" anywhere except Italy.
A 6:53 version was on the 2016 deluxe reissue of the album, where it was called German 12" Remix With Drums. It is identical to the other so-called German 12" Mix, but has an extra rhythm box intro which fades in, and the end of the song fades out slightly early.
A 4:46 version was also prepared from the same mix, but without the extra reverb. This was released on all US editions of the album, which debuted on LP & cassette in January 1983, and on CD in mid-1987. It was apparently also released in 1983 on 45 in Italy (cat# VIN 45064). On the 2016 deluxe reissue of the album, this version is called 7" Mix.

These were available at HMV as 'Import 12"s ' in the late 1980s for £6.99 !!! I should have bought a few copies....
The 7" was very rare, almost as scarce as the 7" Sweat in Bullet. -
I have New Gold dream 12' on the b side of I Travel 12' on virgin records. I when i first heard this song i spent many years looking for the 12" and it was nowhere to be found in the import shops in calif, and then in 1985 i was doing a mail order from the east coast and all of a sudden it was offered to me, but i was not aware of this 12' of it on the A side.

This 12" exists in two slightly different edition. The first has matte cover and as far as I can remeber the intro was the short one. In few mounths the longer version was the standard and the sleeve had a gloss paper. This is the pressing you commonly find in Italy.The very first press must be bloody rare as since I traded my copy with an english friend in the 80s I wasn' able to locate another copy again! -
so, is this possibly the only press of single? it was released only in italy? -

Edited 13 years agoIt is the right cover, I know. Because I got the 12" and love the long version.
