Yes well another #1 hit that never properly appeared on CD...]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2025 16:11:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3871&PID=66376&title=fleetwoods-mr-blue#66376 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3871&PID=66369&title=fleetwoods-mr-blue#66369 Author: Todd Ireland

I have the same question, Richie. However, given that no one has reported finding the correct 45 mix of "Mr. Blue" anywhere on CD in the nearly 17 years since this message board thread first began, it certainly looks like the only way to obtain the 45 mix is via a vinyl dub. I think Brian is probably correct that the reverb was added "live" as the 45 was being cut and, therefore, doesn't exist on a master tape. Unfortunately, it's extremely difficult to manually replicate reverb exactly, as anyone who has ever attempted to do so can attest, unless you happen to be using the same sound processing equipment with the same settings as what was used on the original recording.]]> Sun, 13 Apr 2025 01:46:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3871&PID=66369&title=fleetwoods-mr-blue#66369 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3871&PID=66335&title=fleetwoods-mr-blue#66335 Author: PopArchivist

Bringing this back up to the top. I guess a dub is needed to properly have the 45?]]> Mon, 07 Apr 2025 19:23:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3871&PID=66335&title=fleetwoods-mr-blue#66335 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3871&PID=64945&title=fleetwoods-mr-blue#64945 Author: davidclark

Guys, be careful with The45Prof's posts. If he states "transferred from 45",
then he has done so. Even with that, sometimes the transfer is from a
promo and not a commercial 45 - there were a few like that where I've
contacted him with anomalies and he has reposted.

Anyway, the post for Mr. Blue is from 5 years ago. In those earlier posts, he
did not always use a 45 dub, and he did not state whether or not he did.
After a while, he DID start using 45s, and stated so. Some of his posts say
"CD source" also.

So I believe this not to be a 45.

There IS another post on YouTube that is definitely from vinyl, but it doesn't
show it playing. There IS reverb on there, so maybe we can assume it's the
45.

Check it out, Brian, and report back. I have Mark's dub that maybe
compares to this YouTube one (no time to check for a while).

He does:

Mr. Blue 45 dub

You know, I had said earlier in the thread that the "Diner" soundtrack version has "far less" reverb than the 45, but now, listening to the 45Prof's dub, I'm not so sure. I know that EQ
and compression can affect the way that reverb sounds. Maybe that accounts for it? Maybe someone else can give their opinion? I have the "Diner" soundtrack if anyone needs to listen.

I ran across a file that Mark Matthews did a few years ago where he tried to recreate the 45 reverb, but it's not right... there's too much reverb on there.]]> Sat, 13 Jul 2024 10:36:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3871&PID=64941&title=fleetwoods-mr-blue#64941 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3871&PID=64939&title=fleetwoods-mr-blue#64939 Author: PopArchivist

I've never found it with the 45 reverb. It's possible that
the reverb was added live as the 45 was being cut and it
doesn't exist on tape.]]> Thu, 04 Nov 2021 19:18:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3871&PID=59464&title=fleetwoods-mr-blue#59464
