Ron, thanks for the list.

I got a copy of the 2:58 version from Ultimate Dolly Parton, and confirmed that the 2:44 version I found is indeed an early fade of the 2:58 version.]]> Sun, 31 Oct 2021 00:46:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=59431&title=dolly-parton-9-to-5-interesting#59431 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=59428&title=dolly-parton-9-to-5-interesting#59428 Author: KentT

The original Dolly Parton Greatest Hits on CD, has the
familiar mix. Sounds the same as my 45 RPM single. Do bear
in mind, the budget version for Americans, with deleted
tracks is much more common, but long out of print.

The one listing I have not on your list above comes from the Billboard series, (1981). Edit: ... I just noted that the BillBoard version is also 2:44...

I'm pretty sure I have all the discs in that T/L set. If I have one that isn't sealed, I'm going to listen and hear what the alternate mix sounds like. I haven't quite
gotten around to that set since I discovered the issues with one in the Patsy Cline disc. It'll give me a good reason to finish ripping all of them.

Nice that you can find stuff like this on the online databases.

For what it's worth, I have a 2:44 version of the alternate mix on Time-Life's Legendary Country Singers Vol. 13 Dolly Parton (1996).

Our database lists the following US CDs with the 2:58 version:

• RCA's Ultimate Dolly Parton (2003)
• RCA's Platinum & Gold Collection (2004)
• Legacy/RCA's The Essential Dolly Parton (2005)
• Hip-O's various-artist compilation Soundtrack Smashes Number 1's (2007)
• Legacy/RCA's 16 Biggest Hits (2007)
• Shout! Factory's various-artist compilation Ultimate Grammy Collection Classic Country (2008)
• RCA's Playlist: The Very Best Of Dolly Parton (2008)
• Sony Music Custom Marketing Group's box set Super Hits Of The 80's
• Sony Music Commercial Music Group's Dolly Parton - Country

One other note:

RCA's Nipper's #1 Hits 1956-1986 (1989) has the hit mix, but omits the opening hi-hat and the opening beat; avoid.

I suspect the file you have was not sourced from that Australian 2xCD release.

On MusicBrainz you can see the exact layout of disc 2. Track 1 is 2:47. Likewise on gnudb (formerly freedb) you can click through the disc ID link to find the same tracks. No other pressings are in those databases. I found a lossless rip on Soulseek, and it, too, is 2:47.

Going back to MusicBrainz, you can search for Dolly Parton and click on the Recordings tab and get an exhaustive list of appearances of that song on her CDs, with durations ranging from 2:32 to 3:05. These are ostensibly different mixes but it's more likely they're just in need of some cleanup/consolidation down to the two known studio versions. Anyway you can click through the titles on those to get a bazillion appearances of each of those mixes. Happy hunting :)]]> Fri, 29 Oct 2021 17:21:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=59425&title=dolly-parton-9-to-5-interesting#59425 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=59424&title=dolly-parton-9-to-5-interesting#59424 Author: crapfromthepast

John - A few posts up, we discovered an import CD with the alternate mix running at the 2:44 length. So it's certainly possible that other CDs have the alternate mix faded early to the 2:44 length, too.]]> Fri, 29 Oct 2021 10:51:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=59424&title=dolly-parton-9-to-5-interesting#59424 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=59423&title=dolly-parton-9-to-5-interesting#59423 Author: eriejwg

Does this mean some of the versions running 2:44 are not
the hit version? Or, all of them are the hit version?]]> Fri, 29 Oct 2021 10:08:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=59423&title=dolly-parton-9-to-5-interesting#59423 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=59419&title=dolly-parton-9-to-5-interesting#59419 Author: crapfromthepast

Interesting! And unfortunate. So the 2:58 versions are definitely the alternate mix. The 2:44 versions could go either way.

The version I have runs 2:58, and seems to be from a 1998 Australian release called The Ultimate Collection. I don't actually own the disc, and Discogs doesn't list a run time, so I can't confirm 100%.]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2021 19:04:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=59419&title=dolly-parton-9-to-5-interesting#59419 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=59418&title=dolly-parton-9-to-5-interesting#59418 Author: mjb50

On that 1997 Best Of CD, the alternate mix is shorter.

With silence on the ends, the track is mastered at a little under 2:48 total. The actual song therein runs 2:44.

I think this is the thread!

We never resolved where this mix came from. The earliest I'd been able to trace it back to was a CD from 1998, but you beat me by a year! We'd been assuming that it's just a previously unreleased mix that sat in a vault until 1997, but we can't confirm.

The hit version runs 2:44.

This alternate mix runs 2:58.

For all the CDs in the database, you can use the track lengths to tell the mixes apart.

Edit: Not quite. See posts below.
