I heard it only the one time on the radio, then no more. At that time the people was drunken by Milli Vanilli and Modern Talking, and nobody cares about this lovely song. :(

The radio station (HUNDERT,6 in Berlin) does also not more exist. I \'ve sent it already to other stations, but no answer - my last hope: WZS. ;)

ah yes. Far from F.R. in my opinion, but I won\'t argue :)

...but it sounds more soft and the sax, another style of producing - and the voice mainly, a bit like F.R. David - but he is it not

Hmm...Well It still might be the Moonique studio version, I would not completely rule this one out. The YT video is the live thing...live can differ a LOT from studio sometimes...even in sound, arrangement...

You have to look for a __3:30__ version of Far From Over by Boulevard. That\'s the 1984 one. The 1988 one is longer, 4:10.

as I said, it must be the 1984 FIRST cover version from BLVD who named themselves \"Boulevard\" back then. After renaming the band, the second version came 4 years later with modernized sound.

... you are always a step forward ... are you sure??? but \"my singer\" sounds different

This is really complicated. Moonique - 1984 ORIGINAL. Then (rare) 1984 cover of (then)\"Boulevard\". Renamed to \"BLVD.\", second cover version in 1988.

Think I got it. Yours must be the 1984 original version. I\'m 99.99% sure that they RE-RECORDED this thing in 1988. It is on Ronny\'s Pop Show 1984 : http://www.hitparade.ch/showitem.asp?titel=Die+allerneueste+Ronny%27s+Pop+Show&cat=a under \"Boulevard\"

Some idea in the meanwhile? The voice, at least. F. R David I \'ve checked already ... but who sounds so similar?

yes, that seems to be the original - but THANKS so much for that hint - now I have a point to start. I have always looked after \"Fire in her eys\" ;)

Hm *WAIT*...maybe yours is a cover version? Same melody, but sounds slightly different.

is it final Boulevard to confirm?

But compare once more the voices: Boulevard vs. my sample (?)

pianoman74

I\'d say leave it open, but don\'t reject it. I can look around if I find the 1984 version, it\'s really VERY rare. But I proved you it exists as it\'s on Ronny\'s P.S. sampler, __84__! (not 88)

1...singers can age. 2...they might use a different singer for the second version as they had in the first version.

pianoman74

3....it must be from 1984/85 since they **perfectly** copied the synth parts from the Moonique original.

it was a small step for the mankind, but a big step for me - or so - so far - I love that song so much and never found or heard again something

yeah, titles are sometimes very weirdly placed ... or the thing runs 3 minutes then they tell you the title in the last chorus ^^

The 1988 version by Boulevard is very familiar to Climie Fisher\'s Love Changes (Everything) - the 1984 version is not to find to hear - but I guess that it must be else another cover - her my whole sample (a recording from the radio circa 1987/88) ...

Hi Piano, ja können wir ... Du wolltest doch ursprünglich, das es erstmal stehen bleibt. Der zweite Vorschlag (Boulevard - Far From Over (1984)(first version)) isses, oder? - wohl nur auf Ronny's Pop Show 5 veröffentlicht - richtig? ...

Du hast deine Mailbox noch nicht gelesen. :) Da hab ich den Link reingepostet von best-of-80s. Ergebnis: stammt höchstwahrscheinlich von der Ronny's Pop Show 1984. Erstversion mit altem Line-Up. (Sänger gewechselt)

Erstmal durchlesen. http://www.best-of-80s.de/showthread.php?t=18195&p=249970 Und einer hatte tatsächlich die R.P.S. und konnte das Sample somit auch definitiv bestätigen.

OK - Stelle grad fest, dass ich hier nur einen "Refuse All" button habe, ich kann gar nix confirmen, entweder du gibst es nochmal neu ein - oder soll ich erstmal alles rausschmeißen und dann ... hier hat sich ja immer noch nicht mehr getan :/
