Check your PM. Thanks!]]> Sun, 12 Jun 2022 12:08:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4054&PID=61033&title=abba-the-singles-nontop-40s#61033 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4054&PID=61032&title=abba-the-singles-nontop-40s#61032 Author: Kiefer2

Bumping an old thread because I was finally able to
locate a video on youtube with the actual US 7" of Gimme,
Gimme, Gimme. (since the cold end one is obvs. NOT an
official edit) I tried and tried to make the edit, but
I'm not sure if it can be done-the first part is easy
enough, you just remove the first half of the
instrumental opening, it's the second half that seem more
tricky-you have to remove the first half of the

version), but it doesn't seem to want to line up with the

My promo 45 matches yours, Steve. That purported YouTube label scan is almost certainly a Photoshopped label mock-up. I've never seen Atlantic tack a "(B)" suffix onto an existing matrix number like that clip's supposed label indicates. Atlantic simply would have assigned it a different matrix number.    ]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2016 14:00:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4054&PID=45934&title=abba-the-singles-nontop-40s#45934 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4054&PID=45933&title=abba-the-singles-nontop-40s#45933 Author: Kiefer2

I've just heard back from CMP who directed me to the
abbaomnibus (which is, apparently, the definitive
resource). When I hear back I'll post-thanks, Aaron, for
your analysis.]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2016 13:13:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4054&PID=45933&title=abba-the-singles-nontop-40s#45933 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4054&PID=45932&title=abba-the-singles-nontop-40s#45932 Author: aaronk

For what it's worth, the video was not taken from vinyl. Also, despite the lower sound quality, the ending sounds tacked on from another source. It's well done, but the sound quality changes slightly. That doesn't necessarily prove this isn't an official US promo edit, but I can say with 99% confidence this is not a vinyl dub.]]> Mon, 18 Jul 2016 12:47:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4054&PID=45932&title=abba-the-singles-nontop-40s#45932 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4054&PID=45931&title=abba-the-singles-nontop-40s#45931 Author: Kiefer2

Thanks for the info. The search really does never end. I
just shot out an email to Carl Magnus Palm for his take
on the veracity of the youtube version. If (and when) he
gets back to me will have this mystery solved! I know
that several Abba tracks featured cold ends for TV
appearances and maybe the youtube version is just one of
those but not an official release.

Interesting. Assuming that the record shown in the video is
the same one that was used, there must have been 2 different
promo edits with the same catalog #. The matrix # printed on
the label is slightly different: ST-A-37991-SP (B) on the one
in the video, mine doesn't have the (B) suffix. The listed
times are different between the 2 copies as well.

My copy seems to be just an early fade of what's in the
video.

Weird! Did you check out the video lthat I mentioned?
Now I have to
wonder if that is a fan made edit or other pressings
exist with the cold
end! Does the search ever end? BTW, if you do check out
the vid-is the edit point
the same and just faded out or is it something else
entirely? Talk about
frustrating!

The short verson on my promo 45 has a listed time of 3:35 and
has a fade ending, long version is 4:45 (listed) and also
fades.

The "short version" of "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme" can't be
edited from the album version because it has a cold end
with unique instrumentation. There is a great sound
quality vid on youtube (Gimme Gimme Gimme short
version). There is also a video of a French promo vinyl
of The Day that times out at 4 minutes (French promo
version). It cuts out everything starting with "must
have opened my front door at 8O' clock or so..." up
until "and turning out the light..." so she goes
directly from the train to bed and keeps the long
instrumental at the end. Weird.
