He said he had to stop using The Bird because The Time threatened a C&D. He couldn’t understand why, because apparently the exposure was making the band a lot of extra money. Koko tried to work it out with them, even suggested a music video featuring him and Morris Day, but the band refused.

He also said it was singers from his own gospel group who sang backup on “Do the Bird”. I wanted to ask if he had any association with Pamela Fay Fizer, the gospel singer who performed Dusty Rhodes’ “Common Man Boogie”, but I had already taken up enough of his time and there was a line behind me so I had to let that go.

This video features a “stereo mix” of Goldust’s Golden Desire:

According to the notes, it may have been created using 2 separate mono game rips, one which was the left channel and one right channel, mixed together.

I’m trying to verify if this is legit info, or if some fan just made it in “faux” stereo. AFAIK, the only sources for the full version of Golden Desire are the In Your House games and the official Uncaged release, all of which are mono. When I isolate the channels of this stereo mix, they do not sound like any of those sources, and more like someone just added reverb or sweetened it somehow to make it sound better (and to be fair, this stereo mix sounds REALLY good).

I know the In Your House game came out for PS1, Saturn, and MS-DOS. Is it possible different versions of the game contained different stereo channels of Golden Desire? (I currently only have the PS1 rips handy). I honestly don’t think the Uncaged release would factor in at all because the audio quality is so bad, but who knows.

Anyway, does anyone have any information about this, or does anyone have In Your House Saturn or PC music rips they could share?
Thanks

It's from the arena tapes, according to Richey. He didn't modify it.

You’re welcome!
Because of his background in music, and his personal involvement in his own entrance themes, I figured his would be a good brain to pick on the subject.

This was at Squared Circle Expo IV in Indianapolis, and I had a great time. I met Ted Dibiase, Honky Tonk Man, Paul Burchill, Koko, Victoria (again), and had my picture taken with the Nation of Domination (Henry, D-Lo, Godfather, & Simmons). Just a recommendation for anyone who has the opportunity, Victoria is an absolute delight, so incredibly friendly and personable.

Maybe the best part, while in line for the NOD pic, CJ Perry and Danhausen showed up and took a pic with them (I mean, they’re fans too!)
Then while I was up there with the NOD, the Hardys crashed the photo room as well!
