Ok, Ed was gracious to e-mail me an mp3 of his commercial 45 of "Footloose". After doing an A/B comparison between the 45 and the Footloose soundtrack CD on Columbia/Legacy 65781, I have concluded there is a clear and distinct difference between the two during the intro. The soundtrack LP version starts off with approximately :09 of drums and bass guitar before the sweeping hi-hat and lead guitar kick in. By contrast, the 45 version immediately begins with the sweeping hi-hat and lead guitar, and there are no drums present on the intro until the :10 mark of the song.

The 45 version of "Footloose" can be found on the Like, Omigod! The '80$ Pop Culture Box (Totally) on Rhino 78239. The LP version is on The Essential Kenny Loggins CD (Columbia/Legacy 86282). I'll leave it to Pat to sort out which of the remaining CD appearances of "Footloose" in the 10th edition contain the 45 version and which have the LP version (Judging by the listed run times, it looks like nearly all of these CDs have the LP version).

I've just confirmed that the Kenny Loggins Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow: The Greatest Hits of CD (Columbia 67986) also contains the 45 version of "Footloose".

Regarding "Strung Out" by Steve Perry, the Street Talk cd on Columbia 39334 really does run 3:51 and this is the vinyl LP version. When this cd was remastered and released as Columbia 67849, a different edit was used for some reason and runs 3:44 which is neither the 45 nor the LP version. This is the same edit used on the "Greates Hits" cd which runs 3:44 and is neither the 45 nor LP version.

This is odd because I have the dj copy of "Where Do The Children Go" and 1 side states a time of 5:29 and it runs 5:29. The other side states a time of 3:46 and it runs 4:04!

Just because I am curious, I just timed my commercial vinyl 45 copy of "I Wanna Be Rich" and it runs 4:42 while the label states 4:45.

Pat:

You're right... I looked up the time printed on the "I Wanna Be Rich" commercial 45 and it much more closely reflects the song's actual run time than the time listed on the cassette single. The 45 version time ranges widely from 4:37 to 4:48 on CD, so I guess it comes as no surprise that our 45 and cassette single run times vary slightly as well. (Then again, this might simply reflect a small difference in speed calibration in our audio playback equipment.)

Someone (not from this group, this was ages ago) put a relatively scratchy single of the Eagles' "Lyin' Eyes" on a CDR for me (no skips, just a lot of surface noise), and I found that it timed out to (4:13), not (3:58).

Unless that wasn't the 45 version.

I just edited the LP version of Lyin' Eyes down to its 45 edits, and it
does time out to 4:13 for me as well.
