Heartbreaker - The very original recording. by Elliott Randall published on 2012-01-13T21:06:24Z <b>Pat Benetar</b>. Produced by <b>Ron Dante</b> @ Media Sound Studios (NYC) - the year <i>before</i> the same arrangement was re-recorded for public consumption, due to ...'record biz politics'. The band on this are <b>Paul Shaffer</b> (keyboards), <b>Elliott Randall</b> (guitars), <b>Allan Schwartzberg</b> (drums) and <b>Neil Jason</b> (bass). Engineered by <b>Harvey Goldberg</b>, This version is a bit more gritty and raw. We had an amazing time making this record. There was no "final mix" or mastering. Special thanks to <b>Wes Maebe</b> [GHQ Sonic Cuisine] for adding that little extra audio "oomph" for this presentation.

Having played this in a group, the silence is tough to mark. 2013-10-17T03:07:07Z Comment by Brad Zerkel I love Elliott, great musician and all around guy.....I definitely prefer this version 2012-12-29T17:09:08Z Comment by realb Woa.... goosebumps E.... :) 2012-04-11T12:50:33Z Comment by Riff Beach I swear.....are you kidding me.....this sounds more like Pat Benatar than Pat herself and are you really Neil Giraldo??? If not, you two SHOULD be!!! 2012-03-01T14:07:42Z Comment by BobbyLynchMusic Love the organ!!!! 2012-02-06T15:30:06Z Comment by reijo This is a fantastic 'discovery' or 'release'. It's fun to listen to how songs are before the interference. :)))) Thanks for posting Elliot. 2012-01-28T16:24:56Z Comment by KatieC523 I love the other version, but oh my word this is so much better! 2012-01-24T01:05:56Z Comment by Carjet Penhorn Shame the released version cut out the climatic ending of her voice. 2012-01-23T22:21:14Z Comment by GR i like already 2012-01-21T20:29:05Z Comment by Luca Ansaldo Hey, what a shiver, people !!! 2012-01-19T21:25:17Z Comment by Larry Collen A excellent never heard version. I don't recall the released version all that well, but I'm quite sure this version knocks the "seasoning" (polite talk) out of that one. All hail the past! 2012-01-18T03:17:28Z
