It was also released on a 12" single in an extended remix version (11:44) which was released by both Casablanca (Donna's label) and Columbia. The Casablanca releases all list Donna Summer first whereas the Columbia Releases list Babra first. The 12" Version of the single was released commercially o the Donna Summer albums "On The Radio: Greatest Hits Volumes 1 & 2" and "The Dance Collectin." It was also recently re-released on a limited edition CD Single which is now long out of print. David Foster aranged "Splish Splash."
Barbra gives a "Special Thanks to Jason Gould for his opinions." On the liner notes of this album.
A concept album of sorts in the sense that each of the songs has something to do with water, Wet was the third of a trilogy of albums produced by Gary Klein in a soft-rock vein increasingly set in the synth-pop style of the late '70s and early '80s. The concept allowed for a range of material, from old favorite Harold Arlen's "Come Rain Or Come Shine" to an updated version of the old Bobby Darin hit "Splish Splash." The album's #1 hit was "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)," a disco duet with Donna Summer. But most of the songs were newly written ballads attempting to recreate the "Evergreen"/"The Way We Were" style of Streisand's recent hits. "Kiss Me In The Rain'' grazed the Top 40, but most of that material was substandard. Yet there was enough variety on the album to make it an average Streisand outing. Ein Konzeptalbum des Sortierens in der Richtung, daß jedes der Songs etwas hat, mit Wasser zu tun, Wet war der Third eines trilogy der Alben, die vorbei in Gary Klein einer Weichfelsenader produziert wurden, die in zunehmendem Maße in eingestellt wurde, synth-knallen Art der späten siebziger Jahre und des frühen '80s. Das Konzept ließ eine Strecke des Materials, vom alten Liebling Harold Arlen's "Come Rain Or Come Shine" zu einer aktualisierten Version des alten Bobby Darin Erfolges "Splish Splashzu. " The #1-Erfolg des Albums war "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) , " ein discoduet mit Donna Summer . Aber die meisten Songs schriftlich eben die Ballads, die versuchen, die Art "Evergreen"/"The Way We Were" der neuen Streisand's Erfolge neu zu erstellen. " Kuß Me In The Rain'' ließ die Top 40 weiden, aber die meisten dieses Materials entsprach nicht der Norm. Dennoch gab es genügend Vielzahl auf dem Album zum Bilden es eines durchschnittlichen Streisand Outing. |
