The Brunswick promo is 3:41. Also have the 3:39 listed on
Discogs, but it's also a 1980 re-recording on 20th Century
Fox. I know of station edits of the original Brunswick,
but the label never serviced them.

Definitely looks like a genuine 1971 promo 45. ]]> Wed, 16 Nov 2022 18:46:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2348&PID=62183&title=have-you-seen-her-chilites#62183 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2348&PID=62182&title=have-you-seen-her-chilites#62182 Author: sriv94

While I'm thinking about it, here's a link to the 1971 promo on 45cat:

https://www.45cat.com/record/55463

Doesn't appear that anyone's posted it on YouTube.

WLS in Chicago played an edit of the 45 (assuming it was custom) stripping out from (1:51) to (3:14) then fading early by
about 20 seconds.]]> Wed, 16 Nov 2022 16:17:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2348&PID=62182&title=have-you-seen-her-chilites#62182 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2348&PID=62181&title=have-you-seen-her-chilites#62181 Author: AdvprosD

In general, I'm not a fan of artists re-making their own songs at a later date. However, this one has enough originality in it to make it palatable.]]> Wed, 16 Nov 2022 12:53:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2348&PID=62181&title=have-you-seen-her-chilites#62181 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2348&PID=62180&title=have-you-seen-her-chilites#62180 Author: aaronk

To Ron & Bill:

I do not own the first 'Greatest Hits' LP from '72 with sixteen tracks.

But I do own the different 1983 'Greatest Hits' vinyl LP with ten tracks. This contains the "extra fuzz guitar" version.

It was the first time I had ever heard it, although it certainly could have existed prior.

Does anybody have "The Chi-Lites Greatest Hits" from 1972? I'm wondering if the extra fuzz guitar originated from
that issue. ]]> Tue, 01 Jan 2019 05:00:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2348&PID=50893&title=have-you-seen-her-chilites#50893 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2348&PID=50871&title=have-you-seen-her-chilites#50871 Author: crapfromthepast

I think that the "extra instrumentation" versions may actually be the UK 45 version.

Here's a YouTube video that shows the UK 45 and plays the "extra instrumentation" version with vinyl artifacts. The video doesn't show the needle being dropped on the actual Brunswick 45 from the UK, but at least the vinyl artifacts show that the "extra instrumentation" was released on vinyl somewhere.

Here's another YouTube video that shows that the "extra instrumentation" version appears on a US 45. It's a US rerelease on Eric Records, with the Eric logo at 9 o'clock and the Brunswick label at 12 o'clock.

I'll trace the mastering history.

(possibly) UK 45 version (about 5:09)

The (possibly) UK 45 version is in stereo, with the opening fuzz guitar note being primarily in the left channel. At 0:30, after the line "one month ago today", there is a prominent ascending fuzz guitar riff in the left channel.

The first appearance on CD is probably on Sony's Seems Like Yesterday Vol. 1 (1989). This disc has the left and right channels reversed, fades early to 4:55, and is compressed around -6 dB. There's a digital clone on Madacy's Rock On 1971 (1996), which is digitally exactly 1.5 dB louder. Avoid both of these.

The first proper appearance on CD is Rhino's Billboard Top R&B Hits 1971 (1990). It sounds great here - excellent source tapes, nice dynamic range, full EQ, and no evidence of noise reduction. The same analog transfer is used on:

• Time-Life's Superhits Vol. 10 1971 (1991) - left/right channels reversed
• Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 6 1971 RE-1 (1991) - left/right channels reversed
• Heartland/Warner Special Products' 2-CD Night Songs (1994)
• JCI's Only Soul 1970-1974 (1996) - left/right channels reversed and hastens the fade
• Time-Life's Solid Gold Soul Vol. 6 1971 (1996)

Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 12 1971 Take Two (1990) uses a different analog transfer of the same source tape as Billboard, and also sounds quite nice.

Rhino's Didn't It Blow Your Mind Vol. 6 (1991) runs 1.2% too fast and fades early, even accounting for the speed error. Not sure what happened here to warrant a speed error and an early fade, but here it is. The same analog transfer is used on these Rhino promo CDs:

• Didn't It Blow Your Mind Vols. 6-10 Sampler (1991, PRO2 90070)
• Didn't It Blow Your Mind Vols. 1-20 Sampler (1995, PRCD 7136)

US 45 version (about 5:08)

The US 45 is stereo, with the opening fuzz guitar note being primarily in the right channel. At 0:30, after the line "one month ago today", there is no fuzz guitar.

The first appearance of the US 45 version on CD is on Rhino's Chi-Lites Greatest Hits (1992). It sounds great here - excellent source tapes, nice dynamic range, full EQ, and no evidence of noise reduction. The same analog transfer is used on:

• Rhino's cheapie Seventies Smash Hits Vol. 5 (1993)
• Rhino's Billboard Hot Soul Hits 1971 (1995) - digitally identical
• Rhino's promo Billboard Sampler (1995, PRCD 7135) - digitally exactly 0.72 dB quieter
• Time-Life's 2-CD Body And Soul Vol. 4 Night Moves (1998)

My recommendations:

For the (possibly) UK 45 version, go with Rhino's Billboard Top R&B Hits 1971 (1990).

For the US 45 version, go with Rhino's Chi-Lites Greatest Hits (1992) or Rhino's Billboard Hot Soul Hits 1971 (1995).]]> Mon, 31 Dec 2018 12:06:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2348&PID=50871&title=have-you-seen-her-chilites#50871
