I dug through the station archive. The records have a stamped date so we know the day they arrived. The Single was issued 3 months ahead of the LP. I think you're really right, I think the SOB version was a last minute addition to the LP for AOR radio. ]]> Mon, 30 May 2011 16:02:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4529&PID=30405&title=charlie-daniels-band-devil-went#30405 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4529&PID=30401&title=charlie-daniels-band-devil-went#30401 Author: MMathews

Andrew,

I noticed that years ago myself. The 45 version sounds smoothly recorded ... as if it;s the original take.
I too noticed right at "I Done" on the LP version it sounds like a quick pot/switch to the alternate vocal track but for split second on "I" you hear both.

So, yeah, i figured they wanted more balls for the LP version after the single release.
But that's just what my ears thought. I've never read anything about it.
I suppose the above scenario would make sense if the single was released in advance of the LP. ]]> Sun, 29 May 2011 12:14:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4529&PID=30401&title=charlie-daniels-band-devil-went#30401 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4529&PID=30399&title=charlie-daniels-band-devil-went#30399 Author: AndrewChouffi

I'm pretty confident that the song was cut in the studio first with the "son of a gun" lyric, & then later toughened-up for AOR audiences with the "sonofabitch" lyric for album release.

If you listen carefully to the album version, there is a distinct eq/ambience difference in the lead vocal (right before the words "I done told...") where the line was modified.

I don't hear the 'punch-in' on the single version.

Anybody out there feel the same (or different)?

Andy

Which was not suitable for broadcast. Which meant that there was a re-recorded section. Epic had Charlie re-record that line. I told you once, you Son Of A Bitch was the original version on the LP.

It's at approximately 2:55.

at what point in the song is the "bitch" lyric?]]> Sat, 28 May 2011 07:38:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4529&PID=30392&title=charlie-daniels-band-devil-went#30392 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4529&PID=20658&title=charlie-daniels-band-devil-went#20658 Author: crapfromthepast

...Down To Georgia

I had a chance to compare the LP ("son of a bitch" lyric) and 45 ("son of a gun" lyric) versions on CD, using Rock The First Vol. 9 and Billboard Top Hits - 1979 for LP and 45 versions, respectively.

Aside from learning that the 45 is about 0.4% slower than the LP, I discovered that Charlie Daniels re-cut the vocals for the entire last verse beginning with "The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat", not just the one offending line at the end of the verse. The chorus following the offending line has the same vocal take in both.

I assume that it was originally cut with the "bitch" lyric, and someone at Epic asked for a clean version so they could release it as a 45? Anyone have more of an inside scoop about this?]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 19:22:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4529&PID=20658&title=charlie-daniels-band-devil-went#20658
