I have this song on something like 27 different discs.

Avoid these; they have their left/right channels reversed:

• The Hits (1988)
• swaitek's promo 50-CD The A List Disc 9 (1994)
• Time-Life's 2-CD Body Talk Vol. 1 Forever Yours (1996)

Avoid these; they are compressed or clip severely:

• Priority's Eighties Greatest Rock Hits Vol. 1 Passion And Power (1992)
• Time-Life's Sounds Of The Eighties Vol. 8 1981 (1995)
• Simitar's Number Ones Classic Rock (1998)
• Rhino's 7-CD Like Omigod (2002)
• Time-Life's 2-CD Classic Soft Rock Vol. 9 Cool Night (2007)

These all use the same analog transfer as CBS Records Compact Disc Demonstration II (1983?), and sound pretty good:

• Time-Life's 2-CD Heart Rock (1988; does not fade early; other tracks on these discs do fade early)
• CBS' Seems Like Yesterday Vol. 4 (1990)
• Sony's Keep On Loving You (1993; this is a various-artist compilation, not an REO Speedwagon collection)
• Sony's 3-CD Feel The Love (1994)

These all sound good as well, and are all based on the same analog transfer (not sure where this analog transfer originated):

• Razor & Tie's 2-CD Totally '80s (1993)
• Time-Life's 2-CD Rock Dreams (1993)
• JCI's 18 Rock Classics (1994)
• Time-Life's Guitar Rock Vol. 4 1980-1981 (1994)
• JCI's Only Love 1980-1984 (1995)
• Simitar's Love Rocks 5 After Midnight (1998)
• Realm's 3-CD Greatest Hits Of The '80s Vol. 3 (2002)

Finally, one more analog transfer for Sony's 2-CD Read The Hits (1994), and two digital clones of Read:

• Sony's Living In The '80s (1995; digitally identical)
• Sony's Hits Of 1981 (1999; 1.2 dB louder)

If I had to pick one, I'd pick Totally '80s, but any of the above three batches of discs sound just fine.

I had always wondered about this. The Canadian 45 also lists a time of 3:22, but the vinyl LP lists 3:19. I always wondered if they'd slowed it down or something...now we know!]]> Fri, 27 Jun 2008 09:14:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3648&PID=17222&title=reo-speedwagon-keep-on-loving-you#17222 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3648&PID=16892&title=reo-speedwagon-keep-on-loving-you#16892 Author: abagon
