(S) (3:39) Arista 8680 Greatest Hits ....this should be noted in the db.... ------------- edtop40 |

That CD had an interesting mix of versions. It contained the 12" version of "Sweet Dreams", the promo edit of "Here Comes The Rain", and the stock single version of 'most everything else. |

FWIW, I just discovered a CD called "The Very Best Of Pop Music 1983-84" from 1996 in Denmark, and it has the longest tail on the single/LP version of this song I've found in my collection. Compared to the actual single/LP release, it adds almost 4 seconds to the end. I realize that isn't accurate to the original release, but for completists I thought you might want to hunt this down. Since there was never an extended version of the single/LP mix, I don't know where they obtained these extra few seconds. Sound quality is excellent, with no obvious digital limiting or compression. Fade is clean but I don't hear noise reduction. All it really adds is a few instrumental bars, as Annie stops singing at 3:35. This version plays a hair faster than the version in Ron's library, but that likely has to do with mastering differences. This version runs from downbeat to final audio, 3:43.167. https://www.discogs.com/release/1525520-Various-The-Very-Best-Of-Pop-Music-1983-84%20" rel="nofollow - https://www.discogs.com/release/1525520-Various-The-Very-Best-Of-Pop-Music-1983-84 ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

| That's just how it is on the Sweet Dreams Are Made of This album on CD. That compilation you have is actually faded to silence, whereas the album fade doesn't get that quiet before the next track starts. |

Is it really? I'd seen the 3:40 length labeled as both the single AND the LP version... so in reality, the LP version is 4 seconds longer than the single version, and tracks into the next song, sounds like. Would that be a correct description? Or is the CD release different from the vinyl LP? ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

| I would say yes, it "tracks into" the next song, and the CD & LP are the same, https://youtu.be/4IWAqoPlEQE?t=207" rel="nofollow - apparently . |

Listening to the vinyl dub on YouTube through my iPhone speaker, the songs are sequenced tightly, but it’s not really an overlap/segue. The song has essentially faded to near silence before the next song begins. There’s just no pause in between. For database purposes, it doesn’t seem like this is enough to warrant a notation that the song tracks into the next selection, but I’m open to opinions on that. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Right, it's not overlapping. The fade just doesn't reach silence. It's about 50 dB down when the next song cuts in. What terminology is ideal for that, I don't know. |

I made a note for the full-length CDs in the database that the song tracks into the next selection but audio does not overlap. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Are we also calling this a timing difference between LP and single? It's only 4 seconds, but I know we tend to be detail-oriented people... ------------- Gene Savage http://www.BlackLightRadio.com - http://www.BlackLightRadio.com http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage - http://www.facebook.com/TulsaSavage Tulsa, Oklahoma USA |

Well, it definitely is a timing difference, but is it enough to warrant a "single length" and "LP length" designation in the database? I forget how many seconds Pat used as the rule. If the LP and single are within a certain number of seconds, the database generally doesn't make a designation. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |
