I came across to a file entitled "Extended Daydream" while I was organizing unsorted/untitled mp3s. It took me a while to ID the tune but halfway through the track I realized that it's an edit of Flora Wilson's Dancing On A Daydream.
I couldn't find the original release on Discogs let alone info of an edit and I can't remember where have I gotten this so the origins of the edit are unclear to me. I listened carefully to my copy of the original and came to a conclusion that it's a blend of the original vocal and instrumental versions that extends the tune from both ends. I'm pretty sure Dancing On A Daydream was only released as a 7" so there shouldn't be a longer album version etc. If you have info on this, please educate me.
Anyways, this is a sweet groover that kicks off the weekend nicely. Too bad the sound source used for the edit seems to have been worn out and therefore the sound quality is a bit shabby.

I AM THE PRODUCER OF THE RECORDING & I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS EDITED THAT WAY. WHERE DID YOU GET IT?
FLORA WILSON DID THE A SIDE AND THE B SIDE WAS INSTRAMENTAL FEATURING GEORGE GREEN ON SAX AND GENE LUDWIG ON ORGAN.
I AM INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHO DID THAT.
It's a shame I can't remember where have I gotten the file from and as I said in the blog post, the file doesn't have any info about the edit and/or the editor. Just a file name "Extended Daydream". So at least for now it seems that the origins of the edit remain a mystery unless someone can provide some additional info.
