I was wrong! I just heard the 45 for the first time in, ahem, 29 years. Bill
was correct that the 7” is clean.]]> Thu, 15 Sep 2022 18:12:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=61831&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#61831 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60204&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60204 Author: aaronk

I have the US promo CD, and I just updated the run times on Discogs for PRCD-8643-2. I believe those times were copied to the listing in error 14 years ago.

I'll pull my import CD in a moment and scan it.]]> Mon, 07 Feb 2022 20:01:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60204&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60204 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60203&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60203 Author: mjb50

I have nominated the dubious "US" retail CD with cat# EKR 159 CD to be merged with the "UK" one, so that problem should be resolved soon.

The US promo CD (PRCD 8643-2) entry in Discogs still says 3:14 for the 7" mix. I've left a comment asking for someone to verify its duration. What appears to be this disc in gnudb/freedb/cddb suggests it does indeed have the 4:05 version, so the duration will probably be corrected soon. (Really, I guess I could just correct it based on the info in this discussion, but I like to give first crack at it to people who have it in hand.)

As for the UK/European discs, there are two of them in Discogs. One says "Made in Germany" and credits Warner Music Manufacturing Europe on the J-card flap, and the other does not have that text. We need someone to submit a scan or photo of the inside of the latter copy's insert, as well as images of the discs for both releases.

OK, so are we back to Square 1? Or is there a listed/actual (3:14) edit out there?]]> Mon, 07 Feb 2022 17:22:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60202&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60202 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60201&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60201 Author: eriejwg

the correct printed time of 4:05.]]> Mon, 07 Feb 2022 16:29:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60201&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60201 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60196&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60196 Author: aaronk

Discogs shows a version of EKR 159 as "US Maxi-Single," but I don't believe this was ever released in the US on CD single. If that's the case for your copy, John, maybe you can update the country on the Discogs page to the correct one. I have the German copy of this CD, which is not the one with the incorrect printed time. In any case, the catalog number is not one that would've been used by Elektra for US releases.]]> Mon, 07 Feb 2022 06:28:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60196&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60196 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60194&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60194 Author: sriv94

FWIW, on the European CD single, the 7" Mix says and runs 4:05, and has the "Miles my man" lyric. The album mix on that same disc says and runs 4:22, and has "Miles and shit".

A 3:14 version, if it exists, could be the meat of the 7" mix, starting from where the horn samples start at 0:29, and ending with the "we out" at 3:43.]]> Sun, 06 Feb 2022 19:19:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60191&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60191 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60190&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60190 Author: AdvprosD

Difficult to answer, for me. I did find a picture of a 45 label being the 7" Mix, But it says 4:05 on that. (And doesn't say promo)

I also looked at good 'ol TM Century. Their versions run 3:58. ]]> Sun, 06 Feb 2022 18:29:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1754&PID=60190&title=digable-planets-entry-needs-help#60190
