Runtime on my "Tightrope" Shelter/Capitol stock 45 is 2:59, as stated on the label. The only CD source that I have is "Appetizer" which I believe is a sampler from a boxed set. I ran
the two simultaneously in a digital editor, and Tightrope is definitely slower from the Appetizer CD, and only runs 2:57, with an earlier fade.

Sorry to bump, but I'm still curious on this one as well.]]> Sat, 16 Jul 2016 12:53:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1781&PID=45920&title=tight-rope-leon-russell#45920 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1781&PID=21868&title=tight-rope-leon-russell#21868 Author: Todd Ireland

Earlier in this thread, Jim reported the actual 45 run time info for Leon Russell's "Tight Rope" is 2:57. I bring this up because the song's CD appearances run from 2:53-2:59.

Did anyone come up with an answer to Doug's question regarding the correct speed?]]> Thu, 02 Apr 2009 09:35:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1781&PID=21868&title=tight-rope-leon-russell#21868 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1781&PID=8955&title=tight-rope-leon-russell#8955 Author: sriv94

What Gary said, but in this case, this was a radio station that was not noted for speeding up their music.]]> Sat, 17 Feb 2007 07:23:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1781&PID=8955&title=tight-rope-leon-russell#8955 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1781&PID=8954&title=tight-rope-leon-russell#8954 Author: Gary Mack

No, we sped up the music to make our stations sound more exciting and, by comparison, to make our competitor sound slow and boring. Added commercials were never the goal, though one additonal 30 or 60 second spot per hour was appreciated by our sales departments!

Thanks, Jim. TTBOYK, does the speed match? It just sounds a little slow compared to how I remember hearing it on radio back in the day (even a one-second difference in pitch could make it a little peppier).

Doug, my commercial 45 has a listed time of (2:59), but an actual time of (2:57).]]> Thu, 15 Feb 2007 10:22:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1781&PID=8943&title=tight-rope-leon-russell#8943 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1781&PID=8940&title=tight-rope-leon-russell#8940 Author: sriv94

Listening to "Tight Rope" recently on the T-L SotS 1972 Take Two CD, it sounds a little slow to me (it runs (2:58)). I don't know whether it matches the 45 or not.

I noticed one CD with a (2:53) run time in the database--is that speed more in line with the 45, or is the speed and length on the T-L CD correct?
