Following up on the discussion, I picked up Sony's
Don't Touch My 45's on Ron's suggestion and this
is now my go to source for this track. No muffled sound
here. I compared against the Time-Life discs and
confirmed that the Time-Life discs dump the fade a few
seconds early.]]> Thu, 19 Oct 2017 17:43:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4113&PID=48398&title=break-my-stride-matthew-wilder#48398 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4113&PID=47967&title=break-my-stride-matthew-wilder#47967 Author: crapfromthepast

The 0.4% speed difference is pretty insignificant. The Sony and Time-Life discs with the song all run about 110.1 or 110.2 BPM. The Eric disc runs about 109.8 BPM.    Not sure what the true 45 runs at, but it's certainly close to these values.

It's been a few years since I did my comparisons for "Break My Stride", but I seem to recall that all the versions on CD sounded a little muffled. Back then, I chose to use a homemade version that might have been taken from vinyl or re-EQ'd one of the versions from CD. (I don't remember.)

The versions on Sony's Don't Touch My 45's (1994) and Forever Pop Vol. 3 (1995) are digitally identical. These two discs are quite worthwhile, with a great track selection and very good sound overall (nice levels, good EQ, good source tapes, no NR). If you need a digital source for "Break My Stride", start with one of these.]]> Tue, 29 Aug 2017 09:10:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4113&PID=47967&title=break-my-stride-matthew-wilder#47967 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4113&PID=47963&title=break-my-stride-matthew-wilder#47963 Author: Ringmaster_D

In an old post from Ron about Eric's Hard To Find 45s On
CD Vol. 14 '70s And '80s Pop Classics (2012) he noted:
"BREAK MY STRIDE - Matthew Wilder (1983) - seems to use
same analog transfer as Sony's Don't Touch My 45s (1993)
but slowed down by 0.4%; no NR". Does this mean this
more accurately matches the speed of the 45? Many
sources run 2:59 so I'm wondering if this is a very
minor speed difference. Any recommendations on the best
sounding source for this tune?]]> Tue, 29 Aug 2017 07:33:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4113&PID=47963&title=break-my-stride-matthew-wilder#47963 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4113&PID=18380&title=break-my-stride-matthew-wilder#18380 Author: Todd Ireland

According to abagon, the actual commercial 45 run time of Matthew Wilder's "Break My Stride" is 3:01, not 3:05 as stated on the record label.]]> Fri, 22 Aug 2008 20:05:43 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4113&PID=18380&title=break-my-stride-matthew-wilder#18380
