My findings agree with John in terms of the length. The song appears to be finished around 2:58, but listening carefully in headphones, I can hear faint audio all the way to the 3:01 mark, at which point it abruptly stops. Without a clean copy of the 45, though, you'd never hear this final audio.]]> Fri, 10 Jan 2014 19:57:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4557&PID=40216&title=van-morrisonbrown-eyed-girl#40216 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4557&PID=25529&title=van-morrisonbrown-eyed-girl#25529 Author: Yah Shure

John asked me to compare his replicated edit with the original "makin' love" 45 for timing purposes, and I found a discrepancy with Jim's original timing findings.

I have two copies of Bang 545 (no exclamation marks, though... they must've used a silencer):

* A 1967 pressing from Plastic Products

* A February, 1972 reserviced copy pressed by Specialty, with a hand-stamped "DJ COPY" on the "Goodbye Baby" side (which appears to be similar to what Jim indicated earlier.) The title font is MUCH larger on the '72 reservice, and its B-side title is simply "Goodbye Baby" as opposed to the '67 copy's "Goodbye Baby (Baby Goodbye)."

Other than the Specialty logo appearing in the '72 run-out, all other deadwax info matches perfectly: "W10127" and "LW", both in identical handwriting and in the same positions. These two copies were pressed from the same master stamper.

And the timings are identical, too: (3:00.7). The record appears to fade out at 2:58, but it actually continues at a barely-audible level for another 2.7 seconds. At Jim's reported 2:55 fadeout point, these two were still "makin' love in the green grass," as it were.

I assume the printed times would both be (2:53), but my '67 copy has the B-side label on both sides.

Since this version runs 3:03, and the 45 runs 2:55, what is the proper fade point to match the 45?]]> Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:46:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4557&PID=25514&title=van-morrisonbrown-eyed-girl#25514 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4557&PID=25509&title=van-morrisonbrown-eyed-girl#25509 Author: eriejwg

Thanks, David! I'll have to pick up the actual CD. The copy I downloaded was simply titled "digital 45."]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:45:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4557&PID=25499&title=van-morrisonbrown-eyed-girl#25499 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4557&PID=25498&title=van-morrisonbrown-eyed-girl#25498 Author: davidclark

Aaron, the best sounding version I have by far comes from the 1991 CD
"Bang Masters". It's an excellent sounding recording.]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 05:55:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4557&PID=25498&title=van-morrisonbrown-eyed-girl#25498 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4557&PID=25497&title=van-morrisonbrown-eyed-girl#25497 Author: aaronk

I've been living with a copy of this song from The Wonder Years, thinking that it was just a bad sounding recording. I just downloaded a copy from iTunes, and it's incredible how much better it sounds! Another thing I noticed about the Wonder Years copy (aside from the fact that it sounds like garbage) is that it runs at a slower speed.]]> Sat, 13 Mar 2010 23:39:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4557&PID=25497&title=van-morrisonbrown-eyed-girl#25497 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4557&PID=20872&title=van-morrisonbrown-eyed-girl#20872 Author: TomDiehl1

The censored version did appear on some mono pressings of the LP, and i believe may have been rechanneled on some stereo pressings, as i have heard the track off of a local custom radio station CD from WARX (former oldies station from Frederick, MD) that was the censored version, rechanneled...yet when the actual station would play the song it was always the stereo uncensored version.]]> Sat, 07 Feb 2009 22:00:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4557&PID=20872&title=van-morrisonbrown-eyed-girl#20872
