Pat:
Regarding George Benson's "This Masquerade", I have what is billed in the database as the 45 version on two CDs:
Breezin' (Warner Archives/Rhino 76713) (remastered; 45 version)
The Greatest Hits of All (Warner Brothers/Rhino 78284) (45 version)
However, I've discovered these CDs consist of different versions. On the Breezin' disc, the :48 scat-sung piano LP intro has been removed and the song begins at the point where the bass and percussion start. The rest of the song syncs up with the LP version but fades out much earlier. Meanwhile, the version of "This Masquerade" on the Greatest Hits of All CD is nothing more than the LP version faded 4:42 early.
So which version is the correct 45 version? Or were both versions released on different 45 pressings?

My copy from The Best Of George Benson has the song intro beginning in the left channel.
