The 45 version from So Far also seems EQ'd brighter than the LP version. Not sure if that's the way they EQ'd the tracks on this GH album or if the 45 was brighter sounding.]]> Wed, 10 Sep 2025 20:01:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1091&PID=67263&title=bto-let-it-ride-speed-difference#67263 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1091&PID=67261&title=bto-let-it-ride-speed-difference#67261 Author: eriejwg

The So Far 45 version runs between 3:29 and 3:30 which matches the 45 length in the database. Sounds like it's the correct 45 pitch.]]> Wed, 10 Sep 2025 17:07:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1091&PID=67261&title=bto-let-it-ride-speed-difference#67261 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1091&PID=67259&title=bto-let-it-ride-speed-difference#67259 Author: AndrewChouffi

I'm still confused.

Is the 45 edit of "Let It Ride" on the Canadian 'So Far' CD the same *pitch* as the US 45?

The reason why I ask is because on my first-pressing *vinyl* US LP of 'So Far' "Takin' Care Of Business" runs *faster* than the US 45 and LP versions.

Anyone know for sure?

That Canadian collection may also contain the single version of You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet as Discogs lists a 3:39 run time.]]> Tue, 09 Sep 2025 11:37:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1091&PID=67257&title=bto-let-it-ride-speed-difference#67257 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1091&PID=67256&title=bto-let-it-ride-speed-difference#67256 Author: eriejwg

The Canadian CD compilation The Best Of B.T.O. (So Far) contains the single version of Let It Ride as mentioned by David Clark in this thread and runs 3:30.

Originally released as a vinyl LP in 1976, this collection is on CD from Canada containing the single version but was remastered for the U.S. and contains the LP version.]]> Tue, 09 Sep 2025 11:32:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1091&PID=67256&title=bto-let-it-ride-speed-difference#67256 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1091&PID=25026&title=bto-let-it-ride-speed-difference#25026 Author: edtop40

my commercial 45 issued as mercury 73457 states a run time of 3:33 but actually runs 3:30 and is identical to the version on the below cd...

Pat:

For database purposes, DJ and commercial 45 copies of "Let It Ride" both state a run time of 3:33 on the record label, but have an actual run time of 3:29.]]> Wed, 24 Jan 2007 14:33:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1091&PID=8614&title=bto-let-it-ride-speed-difference#8614 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1091&PID=5964&title=bto-let-it-ride-speed-difference#5964 Author: davidclark

thanks, Gary. Now THAT's accurate info!

I have the stereo promo 45 and the 3:33 side actually runs 3:29. Yes, my TT has a strobe and pitch control, so the 3:33 time on the label must be wrong. The edited side does sound slightly faster than the full length 4:21 B side.

   What I have is a copy of the 45 that I once used to create that 45 edit from CD.
