Confirming that this digital single is available for download via Qobuz US:

Thanks for the tip, Kiefer!

Stated lengths for the vocal & instrumental edits on Qobuz are 4:10/4:14, not terribly different than what has been listed on the Discogs listing for the 45. Thinking it is likely these could be the legit edits.

There is a "Vocal Edit" of this on Spotify as well as the "instrumental Edit"]]> Fri, 31 Oct 2025 05:43:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=67460&title=information-socitey-running#67460 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=66220&title=information-socitey-running#66220 Author: chendagam

For what it's worth, I remember hearing this track on WKTU when I was driving through NYC about 10 years ago. I don't remember how they edited it. ]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2025 21:40:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=66095&title=information-socitey-running#66095 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=66093&title=information-socitey-running#66093 Author: chendagam

I can tell you that with 100% certainty this edit is not
the edit I heard back on the radio in the early 90s due to
the ending. That said, it is possible that the version I
did hear was an edit created by the station especially
since I heard it years after it was released. I just
listened to my 4:20 edit and the ending is how I remember
it (repeats a synth note about 5 or 6 times and fades out
fast).]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2025 19:12:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=66093&title=information-socitey-running#66093 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=66091&title=information-socitey-running#66091 Author: aaronk

The YT video sounds like it's from vinyl. Whether or not it's the "real deal," I don't know. Was it the same YT user that posted the last version and claimed it was the original edit when it really wasn't? If so, his credibiity is still in question.]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2025 14:50:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=66091&title=information-socitey-running#66091 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=66088&title=information-socitey-running#66088 Author: mjb50

A more convincing edit has been posted to YouTube.

Is it the real deal?]]> Mon, 17 Mar 2025 13:13:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=66088&title=information-socitey-running#66088 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=62860&title=information-socitey-running#62860 Author: eriejwg

Qobuz is of no help as they only have the 7:45 album
version and a slew of remixes.]]> Thu, 06 Apr 2023 14:46:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=62860&title=information-socitey-running#62860 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=62859&title=information-socitey-running#62859 Author: mjb50

Ugh, I was fooled. In Adobe Audition, I took the very last vinyl noise sound (with no music) and pasted it before the intro, and lo and behold, the waveforms are identical, just reversed.

Also I see now there's some inconsistencies in the spectrogram, if you zoom in and look at the lowest frequencies across the whole song. The ends have definitely been processed and use different sources than the main part of the song.

Sorry for the false alarm. Looking forward to hearing the real deal someday.

Ain't no way that's legit. On the intro and fade, it sounds like someone is dropping the needle onto the record while the music is still playing. Listen carefully, and you'll hear that the vinyl noise is completely gone for about a second (music only) and then (THUMP) a needle hitting a blank groove.]]> Thu, 06 Apr 2023 08:28:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1356&PID=62856&title=information-socitey-running#62856
