DOWNLOAD NO.64 - COLLEEN HEWETT

COLLEEN HEWETT HAD A MASSIVE POP HIT WITH "DAY BY DAY" FROM THE MUSICAL GODSPEL IN 1971-1972. SHE RECEIVED A GOLD RECORD FOR THIS HIT. ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS, JUDY STONE, ALSO HAD A VERSION OF THIS SONG WHICH CHARTED IN PARTS OF OZ.

THE BIGGEST SELLING VERSION OF THIS SONG, THE 7" SINGLE, IS NOT YET OFFICIALLY ON C.D. BUT DOWN BELOW YOU WILL GET A LINK TO A COPY THAT IS C.D. QUALITY!

COLLEEN'S HIT WAS 6 MINUTES IN LENGTH. 2 VERSIONS WERE ORIGINALLY RELEASED: A VERSION IN STEREO ON THE ALBUM AND MONO ON THE 7" SINGLE, BOTH ORIGINALLY PRODUCED BY MOLLY MELDRUM. THE LAVISH PRODUCTION HAD NUMEROUS MOLLY "TOUCHES".

SOMEONE AT FESTIVAL MUSIC MUST HAVE DECIDED TO CUT THE SONG INTO DIFFERENT VERSIONS AS NOW WE HAVE DIFFERENT ONES SURFACING ON VINYL AS WELL AS THE CAST RECORDING.

A BRISBANE RADIO STATION HAS RELEASED A VERSION ON C.D. WHICH GOES 4 MINS 58 SECS AND SEEMS TO BE A SHORTER VERSION OF THE ALBUM CUT. IT STARTS WITH "PREPARE YE THE WAY, OF THE LORD".

"DAY BY DAY" HAS BEEN RE-RECORDED BY COLLEEN IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS WHICH CAME OUT ON HER C.D. "BULAMAMA" WHICH ALSO CONTAINED HER HIT "RECONCILIATION".

FESTIVAL MUSIC RELEASED A VERSION ON THEIR C.D. "SPINNING AROUND" ANNIVERSARY ALBUM WHICH WAS NOT THE SINGLE OR ALBUM VERSION. IT WAS A CAST RECORDING FROM GODSPEL MISTAKENLY CREDITED AS THE SINGLE.

K-TEL RELEASED A STEREO EDITED VERSION THAT WAS 3 MINS LONG ON THEIR VINYL ALBUM "ELECTRIFYING HITS".

ON OFFER FIRST IS A 3 MIN 32 SECS EDITED VERSION WHICH WAS DONE FOR RADIO PROMO PURPOSES. I PRESUME SOME RADIO STATIONS NEEDED THE SONG TO BE SHORTER TO MAKE THEIR PLAY LISTS.

HERE IS THE DOWNLOAD LINK TO THE PROMO 7" MIX:

BONUS MIX:

BY COMBINING 2 VERSIONS (MY OWN C.D. VERSION WITH MY FRIEND MICKO'S VINYL 7") I HAVE CONSTRUCTED A C.D. QUALITY VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL LONG 6 MINUTE SINGLE OF "DAY BY DAY". THE ONLY PART THAT IS NOT FROM C.D. IS THE LAST 55 SECONDS OF THE SONG.

ENJOY!
