*Amazing!* ⭕⚪🔵 This song hasn't aged at all. It would have been interesting to see how this charted had it not been recalled. Love the layers in the song... Thanks for posting!!
aramanth I imagine the video, different scenes with the different characters in an old world time, and John and Jezebel end up meeting through their circumstances
I had this on an original U.S. release of "Here's to Future Days" on cassette tape. That tape was long lost years ago and I had no idea at the time how hard it would be to find that version of "Roll Over". The one on the streaming services now has a shorter intro and arrangement.
@@hightdan That version is available on the 2008 New Expanded version of Here's To Future Days. It's now out of print but you should be able to get it from eBay or similar site. BTW I had the tape too!! Love it till i t fell apart!
Steve Gasparutti This isn’t actually the version of the song that was recalled. This was produced later by Nile Rodgers and much better than the single version imo.
There is a video floating around somewhere on UA-cam that was just before Tom's breakdown where they perform the original version of Roll Over "live" and you also hear some of the original version of Future Days (prior to Nile Rogers), it's a shame that none of this stuff has never been made available.
its amazing what nile Rogers can do. Upon the release of "Rollover" as the lead single for the Heres To Future Days album, Tom Bailey suffered a nervous breakdown. He took this to be an omen that this was a doomed choice for the single/album. He ordered all copies of the single, which had coincidentally hit shops that day, to be returned to the label and destroyed. He brought in Nile Rogers to (re)produce the entire album, which is what we have today. The lead single was switched to "Lay Your Hands On Me" (which had already come out in the UK as a pre-Rogers production/mixdown) The difference in the pre-Rogers versions of Rollover and LYHOM are striking. "Rollover" was never given a second chance as single.
That's backwards actually -- the version in the main video on this page is the LP version that was reworked with Nile Rodgers, and it only appeared on the US pressing of the album "Here's To Future Days". The version in the link you posted is the original pre-Nile version that was recorded before Tom's health problems. It was included on the Greatest Hits collection as a bonus for collectors, because at that time it had never seen the light of day anywhere except a performance on Album Flash here: ua-cam.com/video/sgW7kLMuBN4/v-deo.html
Such a great song! It's a shame it was pulled from release. The Wiki page for the song says it's on the North American pressings of "Into the Gap", but the Wiki page for the album doesn't include it in the U.S. track listing. It's familiar to me, so I heard it somewhere long ago, but I don't have access to my album at the moment to check if it's on there.
Great song. For me undiscovered until now.
Love this can't get enough of the twins 👌
I cherish you, Mr. Bailey! Flute player from America here!

I heard this in a club just before release back in 85. Thought it was a big hit. Shame
I’d imagine top 20 I can see the video to this

It was a big mistake withdrawing this song. So much better than the stuff on that album

I know they should have released dvds and all their material they did it for artists I never thought they would it's time for them!
This is the proper "single" release, slightly different (and better) than the version included on their greatest hits.

Love a lot of their stuff but see it was recalled it's a bit weak
