I discovered that the UK single has a different edit from
the US single or radio edit. From what I can tell, it's
just an early fade to 4:32, and pitched up slightly (less
than +1%). ]]> Sun, 03 Sep 2017 22:49:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=48019&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#48019 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=30474&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#30474 Author: eriejwg

Yes, it was pitched up. There was a thread a few years ago describing how to recreate the 45 version. Will try and locate it.]]> Wed, 08 Jun 2011 19:19:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=30474&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#30474 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=30473&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#30473 Author: sriv94

Was the short side of the promo also slightly sped?]]> Wed, 08 Jun 2011 10:20:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=30473&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#30473 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=30472&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#30472 Author: abagon

The actual LP running time is (4:55), the listed time is "4:57" on the LP record label (A&M SP-4906)
My commercial 45 ran (4:46). The 45 is slight shorter, and faster than the vinyl LP. I think CD entries need "45 speed" or "LP speed" comment. Because it has speed difference of 4 seconds.
The last word "two" in the lyric "breaking us in two" on the last verse is at (4:14) on the vinyl LP, the same point on the 45 is at (4:10).
Nice finding, ed!

my commercial 45 issued as a&m 2510 states a run time on the label of 4:57 but actually runs 4:46....it is also slightly sped up as well...(anyone else notice this).....if you fade out from 4:40-4:46 you'll be able to re-create the proper 45 version.....]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2008 09:27:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=15402&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#15402 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=4665&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#4665 Author: Todd Ireland

I've seen a number of cases in the database where the DJ copies of a song may differ from its commercial 45 release by several seconds. Sounds like this may be such a case with "Breaking Us in Two".

Thanks for helping solve another mystery, guys!]]> Tue, 02 May 2006 13:32:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=4665&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#4665 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=4663&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#4663 Author: sriv94

I agree, but I always thought the edit sounded awkward. You could've made a better edit by just excising the instrumental break and bridge and verse leading up to it.

I may try that--one of these days (of course, I'd also have to try to create the edit as it actually was as well). :)]]> Tue, 02 May 2006 11:35:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=4663&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#4663 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250&PID=4662&title=breaking-us-in-two-joe-jackson#4662 Author: jimct

Jim, could you time the long version of this song on your dj copy as my commercial copy runs (4:46) not (4:57) as stated on the record label.
