I have the UK (2012) reissue -     Big Break Records – CDBBR
0136 . The edit is track 10. I bet it is a UK edit of
Call Me.    I'll have to look into the Japan release.
Thanks for the info]]> Mon, 22 Nov 2021 08:03:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=59580&title=skyy-call-me#59580 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=59579&title=skyy-call-me#59579 Author: Paul C

To which reissue are you referring, Rick? I have the 1993
Japanese reissue (Octave 5037), and the 'Original Single
Version' of "Call Me" (track 11) sounds like the actual 45
version to me, although I have not done a close comparison. ]]> Mon, 22 Nov 2021 07:58:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=59579&title=skyy-call-me#59579 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=59578&title=skyy-call-me#59578 Author: promojunkie

I was wondering the same thing. A 4 second edit does
nothing for time so maybe it was content? This song was pretty risqué
for 1982 and perhaps they thought the description of this cat's secret
lovenest as dark and quiet was just a bit too creepy for radio at that
time. Not a lot of subtlety in these lyrics.

Such an odd place for an edit.]]> Sun, 12 Mar 2017 19:35:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=47178&title=skyy-call-me#47178 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=47177&title=skyy-call-me#47177 Author: eriejwg

JL,

Glad you brought this thread back. Looks like I need to
redo the recreation. I didn't make the cut in the right
place or just faded the song early. Something I did
incorrectly which I can correct right now. :)]]> Sun, 12 Mar 2017 17:11:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=47177&title=skyy-call-me#47177 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=47176&title=skyy-call-me#47176 Author: MMathews

Sorry for the false start earlier...

I worked this one using a low quality dub as a guide for the 45. Can't
completely guarantee it was the 45, but I was told it was and it was
definitely sourced from vinyl.

The only edit I detected was during the telephone call segment, and
happens right after the smarmy guy says "You know I got this little place I
like to go to uhhh...." The 45 cuts the "uhhh" off mid-word and shifts ahead
to a drum fill. Using the online iTunes version of Skyy Line for the LP
version, this edit runs from 3:16.7 to about 3:20.65 (it's really tricky and
sounds pretty abrupt). Seems completely unnecessary too, but whatever.
Other than that one edit, it was just an early fade from about 3:40 to 3:55.

Reading the thread above led me to believe there was more than one edit,
so I'm questioning whether my guide was truly the 45 (but like i said, it was
taken from vinyl somewhere and runs the correct length, so i'm fairly
confident it's correct). Is that really the only edit?

Also, my guide cuts off the first 2 guitar notes from the LP version. I think
that may just be a case of me having a crappy dub though. Were the first 2
guitar notes missing from the 45?]]> Sun, 12 Mar 2017 14:20:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=47174&title=skyy-call-me#47174 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=47173&title=skyy-call-me#47173 Author: eriejwg

I recreated the 45 edit a few years ago but didn't save
edit points. I saved it as a 320 bit rate mp3 if anyone
wants to hear it to recreate it as a wav.

My file runs 3:58 and I used the LP version to recreate
the 45 version.]]> Sun, 12 Mar 2017 13:15:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=47173&title=skyy-call-me#47173 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6389&PID=47171&title=skyy-call-me#47171 Author: JL328

*Posted edit points, but I realized that one of them may be off. So I deleted
this.

I wil fix and revisit.
