365MM Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) "Long Hot Summer has always been one of my favorite Girls Aloud songs, and ever since I'd gotten the singles box set and heard the alternate versions, I'd always wished there was some sort of 12" extended version with everything together. Been a project on the back-burner to do a fan edit , and here's the result! I debated the lyric order and if I should do the transitions differently (like a phased, or reverse- rewind type effect back in), but decided not to, and just went with as close to soft cuts between while excising the single's outro, Alt. 1's intro/outro, and Alt. 2's intro. Hope you enjoy! <to be updated/reuploaded> Edited April 29, 2023 by 365MM Going to re-edit 1 Quote

Hope you enjoy! Girls Aloud- "Long Hot Summer- Fan Megamix" This also happens to be my favourite GA song and I’ve listened to this three times straight. I like it, the concept of doing this never occurred to me. However (and please don’t take this the wrong way), it’s one step away from perfection and what I mean by that is you can audibly hear the edit at 3 mins 34 secs. If there was possibly a way to hide that it would be perfect. Edited April 29, 2023 by Dax Diameter Uodate 1 Quote

It’s just a rough edit but thats easy enough to fix. 1 Quote

Main Pop Girl Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 How have I never listened to the alternative versions! I somehow didn't even know they existed but I think I like them better than the original Thanks for spreading the good word 1 Quote
