Extended Mixes
In the mid 1980s, singles were usually released on 7″ and 12″ formats. The latter tended to have an extended mix of the A side. Sometimes these took a song to new heights, but more often they were half-arsed things where they just spliced in a bit where a drum machine and bass synth run on for a while.
Although all five of Strawberry Switchblade’s singles were released in the UK on 12″, only the last one, Jolene, featured an extended version of the A side. The Let Her Go remix was released on the 12″ of its follow-up single Who Knows What Love Is?.
The other three appear to have never been on 12″ singles, but were specially made for a Japanese release, The 12″ Album, making its title a bit misleading.
