I'm sorry, but I can think of absolutely NO excuse whatsoever for a song from as recently as 1988, which obviously originates from a tape source, to be mastered on CD from vinyl. NONE!]]> Sun, 10 Apr 2011 19:00:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2688&PID=29752&title=dj-jazzy-jeff-fresh-prince-parents#29752 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2688&PID=29750&title=dj-jazzy-jeff-fresh-prince-parents#29750 Author: crapfromthepast

I noticed that the CD Millennium Hip Hop Party
(1999) has this song mastered from vinyl. Shame, Rhino!
The CD Monsters Of Rap Vol. 1 (2000) from Razor &
Tie is digitally exactly 0.3 dB quieter than the Rhino
disc, and has the same vinyl artifacts. (Listen to the
fade.)

The Time-Life disc Sounds Of The Eighties Vol. 20 The
Late '80s Take Two appears to be taken from a tape
source, and doesn't have the vinyl artifacts on the fade. ]]> Sun, 10 Apr 2011 18:49:37 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2688&PID=29750&title=dj-jazzy-jeff-fresh-prince-parents#29750 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2688&PID=18978&title=dj-jazzy-jeff-fresh-prince-parents#18978 Author: Todd Ireland

To add to Aaron's well documented info regarding D.J. Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince's "Parents Just Don't Understand", the actual commercial 45 run time is 5:10. (Timing info compliments of abagon. The printed record label time is 5:12.) The only reason I note this is because database CD entries containing a "45 version" comment run 5:08-5:13.]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:45:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2688&PID=18978&title=dj-jazzy-jeff-fresh-prince-parents#18978 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2688&PID=12541&title=dj-jazzy-jeff-fresh-prince-parents#12541 Author: aaronk

The database will need to be updated for DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince "Parents Just Don't Understand." All database CDs, except one, contain the 45 version. That one CD, Yo! MTV Raps, actually contains the LP version.

In my very first post on the board, I detailed the difference between the vinyl LP and full-length CD copies of He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper. Given that the LP runs more than 80 minutes, it would've required two compact discs to fit the entire album. Perhaps the record company didn't think they could sell a double CD rap album, so they condensed it to one disc. In the process, both "Nightmare On My Street" and "Parents Just Don't Understand" were switched to their 45 versions for the CD.

For "Parents..." the difference between the vinyl LP and 45 is that the instrumental section between the "school shopping" and "new Porche" verses is cut in half on the 45, and also the 45 fades earlier. Despite the tray card on that Yo! MTV Raps CD stating "Extended Remix," it's just the LP version. I just compared my vinyl with that CD.]]> Fri, 09 Nov 2007 13:59:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2688&PID=12541&title=dj-jazzy-jeff-fresh-prince-parents#12541
