Among the rarest of Motown's rare grooves and making its vinyl debut: the original mix of Ross's smash 1980 album that featured 'Upside Down' and 'I'm Coming Out.' CHIC's Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers produced the album and delivered this mix - only to see it rejected and remixed by Motown's in-house team. The original CHIC mix was a Motown myth until its inclusion in the diana: deluxe edition in 2003. It's now where it belongs, on vinyl - and pink vinyl, to boot.

Original Chic Mixes Sound Warmer On Vinyl
It's nice to know how these mixes would have sounded had they been released on vinyl. I have the deluxe version on CD and can say I thought the Chic mixes were just okay. On vinyl they sound a lot warmer and I have grown to really like them now. If want to hear how it would have been I highly recommend the vinyl version.

"diana" comes out triumphantly up
After the emotional revelation that was "The Boss", the Chic-produced "diana" left hardcore fans confused and disappointed. But the general public embrace it as "the album of summer 1980.Like it's predecessor, "diana" launched off summer with a Memorial Day Weekend hot release.Uncharacteristically, Motown did NOT release a single for an entire month. It proved a stroke of genius because the album was played in its entirety for that first 4 weeks. It triggered album sales during that time period debuting at *88 and by its 4th week leaping into the Top 10.The record buying public seemed oblivious to the inner fighting by Diana & Motown vs. Nile Rogers/Bernard Edwards.The original "Chic" mix would not see a release until two decades later.Diana had been known to perform multiple cuts from her new album. ("The Boss" had 6 of its 8 cuts included in a revised version of her "Tour'79 Tour that eventually became an HBO sensation).By the time "diana" sold nearly 10 million copies internationally, the much discussed "Chic" mixes surfaced on a "diana"/Deluxe Edition."Upside Down" sported a hotter instrumental ending, "Tenderness" now had a classic extended disco riff and "I'm Coming Out" sounded fun, crazy with Diana somehow scaling up and down.It really became much easier for a fan to love

Un album inedito di Diana Ross, per chi ama gli Chic
Disco perfetto ed emozionante, anche sotto il profilo della qualità del suono. Si tratta delle versioni incise ma poi scartate dagli Chic. In effetti è un disco diverso dal classico Diana, in quanto le versioni hanno un arrangiamento parzialmente differente e anche la voce di Diana Ross sembra più vera, come se fosse presa in diretta. Tutto perfetto, come sempre con Amazon!

Fantastic reissue of a classic album
Fantastic reissue of a classic album. I particularly love the pink vinyl. I always preferred the Diana Ross mix of the songs, but enjoy comparing the Chic mixes.
