 Hi friends bare with me as I relate this mysterious story about Startrax! I was downloading a SRS effects plugin for Windows Media and at the end of the download the art work and tracks list for Startrax appeared on the information screen. What makes this a bit strange is that I had not requested it, it was competely random. I made a quick trip over to Grant Guerrero's discogrophy for the history of this release and much to my surprise he mentions that Its Going To Take Some Time has a different keyboard arrangement and is in his opinion superior to the original, like an entirely new song. I don't know about the rest of you but I was not aware this fact. Just thought those of you who like hearing alternate versions of album cuts and missed this one might want to check it out. If you are able to access MSN's web browser the album is available for download. Jim

I HAVE STARTRAX CD !!!!
I never liked so much IGTTST, but the remix on this compilation is enough digestible (and the entire album sound is very clean).
This case justify the remixes Richard does.

 I've seen the Star Trax album in music stores quite a few times and listed on Amazon.com. But never paid much attention to it. is this a karaoke disc? |

I am considering buying this one but have a few questions.
Is the remix of "It's Going To Take Sometime" on any other compilations?
Are there any other remixes on Stattrax not found on any other Carps comps? |

I don't have the Startrax album, so personally, I can't help.
I know that I have two versions with different sounding intros of *It's Going To Take Sometime*. The first time I heard the *Yesterday Once More* compilation I remember that the intro sounded different.

My only CDs that contain IGTTST are: A Song For You (original and Remastered), Singles 69-73, Yesterday Once More and Classics Vol. 2, Singles 69-81 and Startrax. a. Yes, in Singles 69-81(I bought it years after I bought Startrax). b. No. |

Yes, at the beginning there's a new piano part in substitution of the sax and then, we hear a new bass part at 00:28 secs. img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/folder/smile6.gif [/IMG] [glow=red,2,300][/glow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Roland Chayer[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300] [/shadow][/center] [/quote] |

Hey Rick. There is a ton of info on this compilation at Grant Guerrero's site. Amazon Canada still lists it for sale but out of stock at this time. They recomend checking back from time to time, so they must have plans to restock. JIM
