The Radio Edit is two edits and an early fade of the 7" Version.

Starting with the Forever Pop version working backwards...
- remove from 4:24 to the end and create a 12 second fade (starting at about 4:12)
- delete from 3:13.7 to 3:30.5 (editing on the downbeat)
- remove the first 8 beats (4.5 seconds - opening rhythm section doesn't repeat twice; drums start and then spoken vocal comes in "cold, cash...")]]> Sat, 29 Aug 2009 13:15:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5122&PID=23511&title=calloway-i-wanna-be-rich#23511 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5122&PID=23439&title=calloway-i-wanna-be-rich#23439 Author: edtop40

Boosting the high end on Forever Pop, Vol. 3 makes the song sound much better, and it runs the same length as Jim's promo CD single.]]> Sun, 23 Aug 2009 21:34:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5122&PID=23420&title=calloway-i-wanna-be-rich#23420 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5122&PID=23416&title=calloway-i-wanna-be-rich#23416 Author: aaronk

Great info, Jim! I had no idea that a "Radio Edit" existed for this song. Thanks for posting your promo CD info.]]> Sun, 23 Aug 2009 19:05:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5122&PID=23416&title=calloway-i-wanna-be-rich#23416 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5122&PID=23415&title=calloway-i-wanna-be-rich#23415 Author: jimct

We received two different promo CD singles into the station for this song, and here are all the details:

Calloway-"I Wanna Be Rich" (ZSK 2033)
1-(Radio Edit) (listed 3:58; actual 4:02) (there is no current reference to this version in the database, and this was the version that we played on-air in 1990)

Calloway-"I Wanna Be Rich" (ZSK 74005) (no listed times)
1-(7" Version) (actual time 4:48)
2-(Extended Mix) (actual time 7:22)

Neither the "Radio Edit" nor the "7" Version" on my promo CD singles include the faint note/reverb overlapping the opening drum beats mentioned earlier in the thread.]]> Sun, 23 Aug 2009 17:34:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5122&PID=23415&title=calloway-i-wanna-be-rich#23415 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5122&PID=23414&title=calloway-i-wanna-be-rich#23414 Author: aaronk

Todd just sent me a copy of "I Wanna Be Rich" from Power Jams (K-Tel), and it has a faint note/reverb overlapping the opening drum beats. By contrast, this faint note cannot be heard on Forever Pop, Vol. 3.

Does the faint overlapping note appear on the LP version? The sound quality on Forever Pop, Vol. 3 is slightly muddier than on Power Jams. I wonder if this is a case where the LP version was edited to re-create the 45 version in order to enhance the sound quality. I also have this on a GoldDisc, and it has poor sound quality (overused noise reduction). Furthermore, it fades to the 4:37 mark. Does anyone have the actual run time of the promo CD?
