I love this forum because everybody knows more than I
and is kind about my ignorance.

Yeah, it not only does sound like an obvious sample,
but it being mono seems to prove it is intentional.
I'm surprised they ran it through nearly the entire
track, even into quieter sections near the end, but...

So much to learn! Thanks!

Although it was later established that there are no vinyl noise sound effects on Inner Child you still would not be able to create the Radio Edit from the LP Version. At the edit point described above, Shanice's "you dig" in the LP Version overlaps part of the music that would need to be kept. There's also some laughter over the first notes of the horn solo on the LP Version which have been removed from the mix on the Radio Edit, which Ron pointed out over a decade ago.

I agree that it's a sound effect added on top of the track. Here's another way you can tell they are sound effects: the vinyl crackle is totally mono while the track is stereo. If you invert one of the channels and then sum them together, the crackle totally disappears, leaving only the stereo (non-center) information.

I don't think that's the case, as that surface noise
sounds like a sample laid atop the music (and it's totally
absent from the cold ending/laughing). ]]> Thu, 19 Aug 2021 16:40:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1793&PID=58942&title=shanice-i-love-your-smile#58942 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1793&PID=58941&title=shanice-i-love-your-smile#58941 Author: lbangs

I was jogging this past week, and this song from
Hitsville USA Vol. II played on my headphones.
The vinyl noise is actually throughout the entire
song, especially notable during quieter passages like
the opening. I strongly suspect this song is mastered
from vinyl on this box, which blows my mind a bit...

Pat, you may want to add "I Love Your Smile" (Hakeem's Mix) to the database on the CD Inner Child. I noticed there's not an entry for it.]]> Thu, 31 Aug 2017 23:27:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1793&PID=47989&title=shanice-i-love-your-smile#47989 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1793&PID=47988&title=shanice-i-love-your-smile#47988 Author: aaronk

We can now add "Hakeem's Mix" as an official promo CD single mix. I just obtained a very rare remix promo single for "I Love Your Smile." Here are the details:

Motown PCD1009
1. Hak's Radio Edit (listed 3:57; actual 3:51)
2. LP Version (listed & actual 4:18)
3. Hak's Remix (listed 4:18; actual 4:12)
4. Hak's Instrumental (listed 4:18; actual 4:11)

For what it's worth, track 2 does not have scratchy vinyl sound effects on the intro.]]> Thu, 31 Aug 2017 23:24:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1793&PID=47988&title=shanice-i-love-your-smile#47988 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1793&PID=22371&title=shanice-i-love-your-smile#22371 Author: Paul C

Although the "vintage scratchy-vinyl sound" appears on the Hitsville USA Vol. II set, it does not appear on my copy of the Inner Child CD (which is a Canadian pressing). It also does not appear on my U.S. cassette single. So it appears that the CD/LP version is the same as the single version, but the Hitsville USA Vol. II version is not.

I must also correct something I stated above. The version of "I Love Your Smile" on the B-side of the 7-inch single of "I'm Cryin'" states it is the "LP version", but it is actually "Hakeem's Mix" which appears as a bonus track on the CD and cassette versions of the Inner Child album. ]]> Wed, 27 May 2009 14:01:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1793&PID=22371&title=shanice-i-love-your-smile#22371 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1793&PID=18706&title=shanice-i-love-your-smile#18706 Author: crapfromthepast

To recreate the 3:46 Radio Edit from the 4:16 LP version:

Keep 00:00 - 2:16:891 of the LP version
Cut at 2:16:891 just before she says 'dig it' to 2:47:699
Keep 2:47:699 to 4:16

Your resulting edit should be 3:46.
