Ben Liebrand:
Arriving at the studio past midnight ,I discovered, the mix 
was 7 minutes too long, so the tape splicing set had to come 
back in action. 

Broadcast was at 2 PM, so with less than 2 hours to go, there was
no time too lose. Using the mechanical tape length indicator on the
tape deck, and a piece of paper to jot down the number of deleted 
seconds the mix gradually came closer to the length required.
A couple of minutes before we had to go on-air the edit was ready. 

Due to the mechanical nature of measuring, the mix was still a couple
of seconds to long. Apparently impressed by this last minute edit,
of a close to one hour mix, the Radio Technician muted the otherwise
holy and absolute standard 5-second-countdown-beeps before the 
whole hour normally indicating the exact time.
In doing so he gave me the last couple of seconds the mix needed.

What can I say............It was one of those moments.....

About the \"Directors Cut\"
As you read above, 7 minutes where edited out of the original mix.
Putting all those bits back in, would take the flow and speed out of the mix.
The Classics Mix \"Directors Cut\" however ends with the original full length version
of Destination\'s \"The party is over\". The helicopter sound effect plus \"The party
is over\" were the actual end I used in the Disco \'Kwien\' (pronounced Queen) back in
those years and was taken from the original chrome cassette tape I used back then.
To make up for the other minutes lost, 4 tracks where added indicated by this dot 

The last dance record of the evening in those years would either be:
Antonia Rodriguez : La Bamba,
Kat Mandu : The Break or
Gary\'s Gang : Showtime
All of which can be found in this mix.
