my commercial 45 for the jacksons song "turture" issued as
epic 04575 states the run time on the label as 4:30 but
actually only runs 4:23 and is an edit of the full length
4:53 cd/lp version....this 45 run time info s/b added to
the db.....thx aaron for re-creating the 45 version for me
years ago......THANKS!!...

the Torture 45 exists on several compilation CD's.

what LP version did you use? TWO different 4:53 album versions exist. both were pressed on cassette/vinyl and even CD.

one has Jackie Jackson ad-libbing towards the end. one does not.

the 45 has the ad-libs.

Yes, I'd also be interested to know which LP version of "Torture" is on each database CD? Based on waldo's description, it sounds like my pressing of the Jacksons' Victory CD (Epic 38946) contains the LP version with Jackie Jackson's ad-libbed vocals toward the end.

All cd's in the database are identical with Jackie Jackson at the end. I think Waldo is confusing the issue by citing import cd's that may have a different version. I am not aware of two different cd domestic pressings of "Victory" - if anyone has a domestic matrix number of "Victory" that includes the 45 version of "Torture" please pass that information along so I can track down a copy.

I can say with certainty that two US CD pressings exist, because the copy I
used as my source did NOT have the ad libs at the end. I had to splice on
the last part from vinyl and didn't even know there was a CD copy with the
ad libs.

I'll try to ask my friend who owns the CD (an original, first pressing) if he can
supply the matrix number.

Just as a side note, the Australian CD version of Victory (Epic
CDEPC86303) has the version WITHOUT Jackie ad-libbing. This is true of the
track on the US I-Tunes version of the Jacksons album as well. Also, does
the version of "Torture" on The Very Best Of The Jacksons with the
single edits match the US 45 version?

I'm glad this came back up, because the database currently does not note that there are two different LP versions--one with and one without the ad-libs at the end. I forgot about obtaining the matrix number of the "Victory" CD without the ad-libs, but it does exist. My friend who owns it bought it when it was first released back in the mid-80s.

Does anyone own the vinyl LP that does not have the ad-libs?

Also, where do the ad-libs start on this version? On the 45, they start 30 seconds before the tail end of the fade. On the 12" single, they start 59 seconds before the end of the fade.

The Dance Classics series by Rodeo Media is mastered from vinyl (and I assume from CD in cases where songs are available on CD). But they sound quality is absolutely fantastic. No dirty records used on the series.

aaronk is correct; the first pressings of the
Victory CD made for the U.S. market on Epic EK
38946 DO NOT contain Jackie Jackson's ad-libs at the end
of "Torture". In fact, I have one right here in front of
me as I type this (found it while out on my record-store
travels about six months ago)...

What's key to remember here is where the CD format was at
when this album first came out - i.e., its infancy. The
vinyl LP & cassette of Victory were released
simultaneously here in the U.S. in early July of '84
(bought the cassette version myself at that time); those
first presings DID NOT contain the ad-libs on "Torture".
Of course, being the superstar act that they were, it was
a no-brainer that Epic/CBS wanted to release the album on
the fledgling CD as well. However, because the digital
format was still so young (barely a year on the U.S.
market, at that point), and w/ no CD pressing plants here
in the U.S. (yet), like w/ all other new titles being
released on CD in '84, the CD version of Victory
didn't hit store shelves until about 4-6 weeks AFTER the
LP & cassette, probably sometime in August. Epic/CBS
hadn't yet put the ad-lib version of "Torture" on the
album, so those first pressings of the CD don't have the
ad-libs, either. I don't know exactly when Epic/CBS made
the changeover to the ad-lib version, but I'm guessing it
was in either 1985 or '86, and of course, it was made to
all three formats...

Prior to the summer of '85 (i.e., the first full two
years that CDs were available on the U.S. market) - which
is when the first U.S. CD pressing plant opened - we
Americans relied primarily on Japan & West Germany for
manufacturing our CDs. And in the case of CBS, they used
only Japan. Therefore, if you want the U.S. CD version of
Victory WITHOUT the ad-libs, you'll need to find
one of those first Japan-for-U.S. pressings. Now, do the
first U.S.-for-U.S. pressings (which would've been
manufactured by DADC) made in 1985 or '86 contain the
version of "Torture" w/o the ad-libs??? I don't know, but
I seriously doubt it. I realize waldo is in the U.K., so
I don't expect him to know all of this, but this would
explain why he hasn't seen a U.S. pressing of
Victory w/o the ad-libs, as this is where things
get a bit technical (since the first U.S. CDs actually
say "MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN" on them). This logic also
applies when attempting to track down first pressings of
such CDs as Whitney Houston's 1985 s/t debut and Heart's
s/t album on Capitol from '85, among others (both of
which also contain different versions of some of their
hits)...

Anyway, my copy happens to be one of those first Japan-
for-U.S. pressings, which is also marked by having a
smooth-edged jewel case (vs. ribbed). "Torture" runs
(4:52) on my copy. So yes, Pat will indeed need to update
the database for this one...

Oh, and for aaronk, Pat, waldo, or anyone else who wants
one of these first CD pressings of Victory made
for the U.S. market w/o the ad-libs on "Torture", there
are actually no less than THREE copies currently listed
on eBay:

1) from seller "echobunny2000" (item #300796784707)
($14.00 + shipping)
2) from seller "mjawrp" (item #290782730253) ($17.99,
inc. shipping)
3) from seller "jankuffo" (item #150895316808) (roughly
$21.00 + shipping)

I've bought from "echobunny2000" in the past, w/ no
problems. In fact, the various pictures in his listing do
a great job of explaining what I mean about the key
details to look for when attempting to identify one of
these early pressings. Oh, and even though "jankuffo" is
located in the Netherlands, his copy is indeed a Japan-
for-U.S. pressing, as he describes (can tell from his
pics). And for those who also insist on a matrix no. (or
two), note that "echobunny2000" states that his is "35
8P-50 31A5"; mine is "35 8P-50 31A1"...

Good luck, and this concludes today's lesson, lol... :-)

Hey waldo,

don't know if you got your copy of Dance Classics yet, but I received mine, and I noticed that torture is faded about 10 seconds earlier than it is on my 12" vinyl single. There are about three bars of music missing from the fade.

For some reason, I thought that the Australian version was the one with the 45 mixes on it (specifically State of Shock and Torture) and of course, $30 later (and a long ship time from Australia), I get my copy and it has all Album versions.
Would love some insight on how to tell the difference between the one with Album versions and the one with 45 versions.

Thanks all!
