Interesting. As noted, the 'Fade End' mix on the Number One’s The 80s compilation runs 4:28.   At 4:27 you can hear Richard Page singing “Kyrie elaison…” but it fades to silence before he sings “down the road that I must travel.”

But on the promo 12” [JD-14248], the mix runs all the way to 4:32, and you can hear him sing that whole lyric, and there’s a hint of a snare after the word “travel”, right at 4:32. About a year ago I uploaded my rip of the 12" to Youtube:

Mr. Mister - Kyrie (Fade End) 12" - Youtube

So - CD copies run a max of 4:28, while the vinyl runs 4:32 - maybe a hair under 4 seconds difference.]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2025 08:19:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4183&PID=66960&title=kyrie-mr-mister#66960 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4183&PID=66941&title=kyrie-mr-mister#66941 Author: mjb50

I confirmed the Fade End version is on the 1999 Australian compilation CD Classic Rare Hits of the 80's in about the same quality as on the aforementioned The Number One's: The '80s, albeit with a fraction of a second missing from each end.

MusicBrainz is showing a 3:38 version exists on the 1988 Canadian compilation CD All Time Rock Classics. I have not yet confirmed whether it is the Edited Version.

crapfromthepast wrote: The 45 version showed up first on Rhino's Billboard Top Hits 1986 (1994). It sounds a little odd here. Brittle EQ, extremely fast transition to silence after the a capella ending, possible turntable rumble under the a capella ending (listen for three low-frequency rumbles, which may correspond to the same location on a record as it rotates). I noticed a small drift in tempo from 89.0 BPM to 89.1 BPM - not significant by any means, but it's real and it's not present on the LP version. All of this points to the Billboard disc possibly taking the song from vinyl.

In my opinion, you're not hearing turntable rumble on the acapella ending but rather some headphone and room "bleed" that exist on the
(many) vocal tracks. It's likely that when they were tracking all those stacked vocals that they didn't originally intend for them to be
isolated so they weren't too concerned with ambient leakage. If you listen close, the rumble only occurs in spots that the drum beats would
be happening. ]]> Mon, 24 Feb 2025 11:51:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4183&PID=65805&title=kyrie-mr-mister#65805 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4183&PID=60375&title=kyrie-mr-mister#60375 Author: kaqueno

In 1999 in Argentina, FM Aspen 102.3 edited the CD called
"Aspen Music", which included "Kyrie" in the 45 promo
version, with the edited intro and the cold ending, with
an approximate time of 3:40, the sound it's pretty good.
If you want a copy to listen to just let me know.

https://www.discogs.com/release/11911727-Various-Aspen-
Music-1023-Fm-Aspen

the cd also includes edited versions of:
- Foreigner– I don't want to live without you
- Jude Cole - Tell the truth

Cheers.

David, would like to hear the gold disc edit also.
Thanks in advance.]]> Sat, 03 Jul 2021 21:30:13 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4183&PID=58528&title=kyrie-mr-mister#58528 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4183&PID=58525&title=kyrie-mr-mister#58525 Author: davidlg1971

I remember hearing the edited intro version on the radio in Northern California, back in 85/86. Based on this thread, last year I tracked down a NM promo 7"(RCA PB-14258)
and ripped it myself. And despite my cheap-ish gear, it came out okay. I also grafted the unique intro to a CD-source of the single version, so it's less than 20 seconds
of vinyl, then the rest is CD.

And then later on I found the 'Edited Intro' on two TM Century discs:

GoldDisc 133
GoldDisc 919

The version on GoldDisc 133 is definitely a vinyl rip, and it has a seriously shrill EQ - as if they were trying to mask the source of the audio. The version on GoldDisc
919 sounds better. If it's a vinyl rip, it's a pretty good one.

Revisting this for me!
I have 2 dubs from the 45 and both have the cold vocal
ending. When I heard this in 1985, this was the version
I heard on radio with no fade out.
I also assume the radio edit starts with the syth
playing after the eerie vocal.
Just want to make sure got it right.]]> Wed, 10 Jun 2020 20:15:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4183&PID=54687&title=kyrie-mr-mister#54687 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4183&PID=52501&title=kyrie-mr-mister#52501 Author: aaronk

The :03 difference is because the CD runs about 1% too slow.

I'm not sure what you mean by "vocal echo," but the US stock 45 has the acapella vocal ending. There's no echo or trailing reverb on the vocal.]]> Mon, 26 Aug 2019 10:51:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4183&PID=52501&title=kyrie-mr-mister#52501
