The "Without Guitar Solo" version is not a further edit of the single edit -- instead, it's a different edit of the album version.

Going by the copy that's on the "Boogie Nights" CD, you remove 2:44.31 to 3:41.27, and then speed up the result by about 1.4%.

I don't recall hearing "Sister Christian" on any Adult Contemporary stations in 1984 either. Like Hykker pointed out, most AC formats back then were predominantly programmed with easy listening ballads and love songs.]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:04:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=20405&title=night-ranger-sister-christian#20405 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=20400&title=night-ranger-sister-christian#20400 Author: Hykker

I don't recall the song getting much AC airplay back in '84...AC was still pretty much Barry Manilow, Christopher Cross, etc...even with the guitar solo removed, the song was a bit "rough" for most ACs of that era. Of course times change and I hear it even on the soft ACs (even sometimes with the guitar solo).

Seemed to be a mixed bag with CHRs...some played the edit, some played the version with the guitar bridge.

Just received a 4:04 listed, 3:59 actual, promo 45 for Sister Christian. It's labeled as being (Without Guitar Solo), though that designation is not in the database.

To create the 45 version, it appears as though an audio engineer at MCA may have dubbed the LP version onto another tape source before making the edits. This tape generation loss could explain the extra hiss on the 45 version.]]> Sat, 27 Dec 2008 23:14:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=20219&title=night-ranger-sister-christian#20219 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=20214&title=night-ranger-sister-christian#20214 Author: edtop40

aaron just sent me a copy of the omigod box set cd version sped up to the correct speed and it's much cleaner (less hissy) than the vh1 big 80's cd version.....thanks aaron...]]> Sat, 27 Dec 2008 11:09:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=20214&title=night-ranger-sister-christian#20214 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=20200&title=night-ranger-sister-christian#20200 Author: Hykker

I have 2 promo singles of this, and both are very hissy sounding (the no-guitar version especially so). Indeed, the VH1 Big 80s CD is pristine by comparison. I wonder if anything cleaner even exists.]]> Fri, 26 Dec 2008 15:15:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=20200&title=night-ranger-sister-christian#20200 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=20199&title=night-ranger-sister-christian#20199 Author: edtop40

bumping this one up to the top for the new viewers......does anyone have the proper 45 of this song that's not so hissy......i just reviewed the song again and the big 80's vh1 cd version is unbearable to listen to....unbelievably hissy....or can the 45 version be extracted from the lp version and matched for the correct speed??
