Isn't that the truth? Seeing all those titles juxtaposed with '60s entries gives me whiplash. Know any good personal injury lawyers? ;) ]]> Fri, 18 Apr 2014 17:51:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2874&PID=41123&title=rhapsody-in-the-rain-lou-christie#41123 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2874&PID=41121&title=rhapsody-in-the-rain-lou-christie#41121 Author: aaronk

sorry for the delinquency, follow board members....i've
been delving into the 2000's songs and i guess all the
rap and pathetic songs have caused my brain to cease
working properly.....sorry.....my commercial 45 for the
lou christie song 'rhapsody in the rain' issued as mgm
13473 lists the run time on the label as 2:46 does indeed
run 2:46.....it comes with a picture sleeve....i'm
usually not real concerned about getting the picture
sleeve, so this one must have been a fluke
acquisition......in the future if someone asks me a
question on the board and i don't respond, it's probably
because i'm neck deep into another project....so if that
is the case, if someone could just email me to wake me
up, that would be real helpful.....sorry, again, for the
miscue....thanks, jim!!

My promo is the same as yours. I don't ever recall
hearing this version on the radio back in 1966, so
obviously the "clean" version was serviced to radio.

I have just acquired a promo 45 for this song. Surely, there were both
censored and uncensored promo 45s made for this in early 1966. My copy,
confirmed as MGM 13473, happens to include the uncensored version, has a
listed time of (2:46), an actual time of (2:47) and deadwax info of "K13473",
followed by "66 XY 308-1".

Ed, BTW, you never did actually answer Todd's specific question from earlier.
Although you did provide us with the deadwax info from your "censored
version" 45, you never did provide us with the listed & actual timings from it.
I'm sure Todd (and others) are curious to know if the lyric changes ended up
having any effect on the listed/actual timings for that version of the song.
Thanks! ]]> Wed, 16 Apr 2014 13:50:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2874&PID=41084&title=rhapsody-in-the-rain-lou-christie#41084 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2874&PID=34704&title=rhapsody-in-the-rain-lou-christie#34704 Author: KentT

Both versions were released on 45 singles. The censored version is actually the scarcer one to find. Most of the run as a hit were uncensored. ]]> Sun, 22 Jul 2012 06:38:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2874&PID=34704&title=rhapsody-in-the-rain-lou-christie#34704 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2874&PID=34695&title=rhapsody-in-the-rain-lou-christie#34695 Author: edtop40

you're right...it could be 'rev' and not 'RW'.....thanks

Are you sure that isn't "K13473 66XY 308 Rev" ? As mine most definitely says "Rev" and makes no mention of D.J. in the dead wax (though mine is a stock copy). ]]> Fri, 20 Jul 2012 18:19:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2874&PID=34694&title=rhapsody-in-the-rain-lou-christie#34694 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2874&PID=34693&title=rhapsody-in-the-rain-lou-christie#34693 Author: edtop40

My good friend Jimct reports that his uncensored commercial 45 copy with the "we were makin' out in the rain" lyric has an actual and printed run time of 2:46. I'm passing this info along because the song's database CD entries have run times ranging from 2:43-2:51.

Perhaps Paul or anyone else who has a commercial 45 copy containing the censored "we fell in love in the rain" lyric could pass along the timing info to help us determine if it differs from the uncensored commercial 45 run time?]]> Mon, 06 Sep 2010 11:13:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2874&PID=27692&title=rhapsody-in-the-rain-lou-christie#27692
