DRAGON FROM N.Z. HAD STORMED THE CHARTS A COUPLE OF TIMES IN OZ WITH THEIR BLEND OF GOOD-TIME POP AND ROCK. THEN THEY TRIED THEIR LUCK IN THE U.S.A. MARKET.ON OFFER IS THE EXTENDED SINGLE OF "BODY AND THE BEAT". THIS REMIX IS CALLED "THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST" EXTENDED REMIX. IT WAS MADE FOR CLUBS AND DANCE FLOOR VENUES HERE AND IN THE U.S.
THE FLIP WAS A SINGLE MIX OF THE ABOVE AND THE U.S.A. DANCE REMIX OF "RAIN". I MAY POST THAT ONE TO THIS SITE AT A LATER DATE IF PEOPLE MAKE REQUESTS IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW.
THIS DOWNLOAD OF THE ORIGINAL VINYL MIX IS PRISTINE AS I HAD NEVER PLAYED IT UNTIL THE DAY I RECORDED IT AND TURNED IT INTO A WAVE FILE.
DRAGON HAVE A LINGERING FAN BASE IN OZ AND N.Z. BUT AS USUAL NOT ALL THEIR OLD REMIXES AND RARITIES HAVE MADE IT TO C.D.
IN MY OWN REMIX COLLECTION I HAVE MADE LONG DANCE MIXES OF "GET THAT JIVE", "APRIL SUN IN CUBA" AND "RAIN". AT THE TIME THERE WERE NO LONG MIXES FOR THESE SONGS SO I HAD TO BE INVENTIVE MYSELF - WHEN I WAS WORKING AS A MOBILE DISC JOCKEY.

Hi Tom,
ReplyDeleteThe Dragon remixes would be great, they may be there now. I am reading through all your blogs. Rain would sound great, longer than the LP version 4min+ from the Raven 2CDset.
