It must be the "Simplified" version. The year is right and
that version definitely has the sound for Smooth Jazz radio.
Thanks for helping figure this out!]]> Fri, 08 Mar 2024 19:02:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4220&PID=64517&title=simply-red-holding-back-the-years#64517 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4220&PID=64514&title=simply-red-holding-back-the-years#64514 Author: MPH711

Simplified was the ninth studio album by Simply Red, released in October
2005. It featured new, rearranged recordings of the band's older songs
including Holding Back the Years. ]]> Thu, 07 Mar 2024 19:29:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4220&PID=64514&title=simply-red-holding-back-the-years#64514 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4220&PID=64512&title=simply-red-holding-back-the-years#64512 Author: LunarLaugh

Would that be the version from the live CUBA!

IIRC, said instrumental section is what appears at the beginning of the 45, instead of the first 21 seconds of the LP

It certainly does. And the improvisation at the end uses a different take of "All I have today .... It's all I have to say". The extended version I posted uses this same take, followed by the one on the LP version.

And here I thought both the LP and 7" versions were basically edited from the 12" extended version. (well ... other than the LP intro)

The discs running about 4:10 or 4:11 have the 45 version running out to the full length of the mixdown tape. This is longer than the actual 45s, which run about 4:05 or 4:07.

There are two US Time-Life compilations that each run about 4:04. These are both digital clones of a UK 2-CD set called Now 1986 (1993), which has great sound but also includes a hastened fade.

All of the above are the 45 mix, running at the 45 speed (about 87.0 or 87.1 BPM throughout).]]> Tue, 20 Jul 2021 13:47:25 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4220&PID=58693&title=simply-red-holding-back-the-years#58693
