"Don't Think...Feel" is a catchy tune that just missed hitting the top 40 in 1976. Too bad it never gets included on any of the dozens of compilations released the last three decades on CD. All I've seen is the LP version and never the 45 edit.]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2019 16:53:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1411&PID=51257&title=neil-diamond-nontop-40-singles#51257 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1411&PID=29127&title=neil-diamond-nontop-40-singles#29127 Author: eriejwg

In regards to "Beautiful Noise", I suspected from John's DJ 45 timing that the edits were in the intro. Looks like I am correct.

Turns out, the stereo DJ/commercial 45 version is on the In My Lifetime box set.

To create the mono DJ 45, simply edit out an additional 9 seconds from the 3:14 version.

"Say Maybe" runs about 2 seconds slower than the LP, and is simply an earlier fade to 3:55.

Here's what my "Beautiful Noise" DJ 45 states:

Mono "short version" side is listed as (3:05), intro time :09

Stereo "long version" side is listed as (3:14), intro time :18

Wanted to inquire about 2 of the tracks on Gordon's original list, since I'm working on some Neil Diamond tracks today.

"Say Maybe" - 45 label says 3:55 / digital length is 4:07.

"Beautiful Noise" - 45 label says 3:14 / digital length is 3:26 or so.

OK, I made a note on my book I keep my music organized on that I have the 4:05 version on vinyl. I'm thinking perhaps that when I got the cd version in I marked down the time from allmusic that I had the LP version on vinyl. This was some years ago. My mistake not to double check this. And I did mean allmusic not allaccess. I've got to double check my typing before I send these off!

I checked the "Headed For the Future" CD on allmusic.com (which I'm guessing is similar to allaccess) and it lists "Story of My Life" as track 1 and at 4:05, as you say. However, if you click the icon to play the song you'll see it plays the title song "Headed for the Future", which is Track 1 on the actual CD and clocks in at 4:05.

If you play track 7 it lists the song as "Me Beside You" but actually plays "Story of My Life" (which, incidentally is Track 7 on the actual CD) and lists the time as 3:41 (and as I mentioned, my "Story" clocks in at 3:39. And has 2 seconds of silence to bring the total to 3:41.)

My guess is that allmusic.com and allaccess simply mismatched the song titles with the actual songs.

Gary, did you think "Story" runs 4:05 for any other reason other than the time listed on these websites (i.e. do you recall hearing 2 lengths for this song?)

It seems strange that for the "Headed For the Future" CD of the album, the record label would go to the trouble of using a shorter edit for the CD instead of using the album master. Gary, Can you compare your 4:05 vinyl LP version with the 3:39 edit you sent me on CD and determine what part was edited out? How strange that the CD of the album doesn't contain the album length!

I had a promo copy of this album in vinyl, but of course I can' find it. So I went to all access and they list the time of The Story Of My Life as 4:05.

Maybe someone else can let us know what they find on our vinyl lp.]]> Mon, 13 Nov 2006 19:35:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1411&PID=7898&title=neil-diamond-nontop-40-singles#7898 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1411&PID=7897&title=neil-diamond-nontop-40-singles#7897 Author: EdisonLite

P.S. The other single from this LP (the 1st single, "Headed for the Future") clocks in at exactly 4:05 according to the backpage insert.]]> Mon, 13 Nov 2006 18:45:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1411&PID=7897&title=neil-diamond-nontop-40-singles#7897 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1411&PID=7896&title=neil-diamond-nontop-40-singles#7896 Author: EdisonLite
