Just a note because it's not mentioned here: The single-disc version of the 2019 Rhino release "Stevie Nicks – Stand Back" contains the 45 "Soft Intro" edit of "I Can't
Wait" as well as the single versions of Stevie's other hits. It's worth picking up to get all the right versions.

I can send you all the edits I have if you PM me.

Gene - Using Aaron's files as a reference:

The 45 runs 125.8 BPM until the last little bit of the song, which runs at 125.4 BPM.

The promo 45 runs at 126.0 until 0:41, then 125.8 BPM until the last little bit of the song, which runs at 125.4 BPM.

If the version on Timespace (1991) is truly the LP version, then it runs at 125.5 BPM until about 0:45, then at 125.4 until the last little bit of the song.

I wouldn't worry much about the slight difference in tempos. This all strikes me as normal variations in tape machine speeds. This was very common in the age of drum machine and analog tape decks.]]> Sat, 28 Nov 2020 00:09:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1407&PID=56642&title=stevie-nicks-i-cant-wait#56642 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1407&PID=56639&title=stevie-nicks-i-cant-wait#56639 Author: garye

Wiped out first post I made on this since I found the
music files.
Here is what I have:
the 3:51 song is from The Very Best Of Stevie Nicks.
It is an edit that is a little different mix of the
soft side of the Promo single.
Number 2 is the promo mix of the rock intro, but it
fades at 4:01.
Now it gets interesting.
Version 3 says video version at 4:17, which should be
the rock version.
The last one I have is "Time/Space version remix at
4:37 and is a dance version with major differences
from any other version.
Hope I didn't muddy the waters too much!

To re-create the "rock edit," (side A of the radio promo) starting from the album version from Rock A Little:

Remove about the first five seconds, basically cutting the run of keyboards in half. Fade from silence to Stevie's first vocals... and it sounds to me like a linear fade up to "I will love you..."

From what is left, delete about 13 seconds from 2:57 to about 3:10, on the downbeat.

That's it! The LP fade appears to match the single (although the video I used cuts off the very last "how can I love you?" that Stevie sings on the LP version before silence).

My file became 4:17, which suggests either the 4:14 length is a little short or the single runs a little faster than the LP version. I'll leave that decision up to someone with vinyl to compare.

Based on the YouTube video of the single I used,

the single is at:
0:00 -- faster than the LP version
1:30 -- in sync with the LP version
2:00 -- slower thank the LP version
3:30 -- in sync with the LP version


It's hard to imagine this is intentional. Is it stretched tape? A bad turntable? A bad CD of the LP? I don't know.

After all these years, the confusion is finally cleared up :) The copy of the promo I was looking at had the 45 labels reversed in error. Therefore, when I played the side labeled "Rock Intro," it played the version with the synthesizer at the beginning (commercial 45 version with unique audio). Now we know that this was a mistake by the record company, and it's the "Soft Intro" version that has the synthesizer beginning.]]> Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:42:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1407&PID=37465&title=stevie-nicks-i-cant-wait#37465 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1407&PID=37459&title=stevie-nicks-i-cant-wait#37459 Author: 995wlol

I just received the promo 45, which includes an insert noting the label errors. It reads:

"Due to an error in the printing of the labels, the first copy of the single that you received had the intros reversed. This corrected copy is printed in the way it was always meant to be.

Rock Intro - 4:14
Soft Intro - 4:01"

CORRECTED INFO: Roscoe, you are correct that the "Soft Intro" (commercial 45) has a synth intro. This audio is unique to that version.

The other version issued on a promo 45, the "Rock Intro," can be re-created using the LP version.

I'm getting confused on what the "rock intro" version
sounds like. I have owned 2 or 3 commercial 45s of this
song over the years, and they all begin with a synth
intro that consists of the melody of the chorus with no
percussion. When the percussion kicks in at :14, there
is a spoken line "How will we feel 20 years from now",
then "Yes I know you" sung by the backup singers. This
intro is unique to the 45; the LP version begins with an
acapella "I can't wait" line heavily reverbed and
repeated.

Does the above describe the "rock intro" version?

My copy's matrix is 79 95657 but doesn't indicate a
specific version; it just has a notation "* Alternate
version of song available on LP "Rock A Little".]]> Sun, 09 May 2010 21:14:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1407&PID=26319&title=stevie-nicks-i-cant-wait#26319
