In the unlikely event that you can find the We Are The World CD (Polygram 824822), which has the full LP length, you can recreate the 45 fade as follows:

Add a 12-beat sinusoidal fade from the snare at 6:13.3, just before the downbeat, to the snare at 6:23.2, just before the line "so let's start giving".

If nothing else is chopped off the beginning or middle of the 45 length of "Slow Ride," I'd also call that a "length" instead of version. It's like EdisonLite says--it makes it easy for us "editors" to determine if we need to match edits or just fade early when making our own 45 length/version.]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2005 14:21:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2933&title=we-are-the-world#2933 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2931&title=we-are-the-world#2931 Author: sriv94

I see what both of you are saying. Consider Foghat's "Slow Ride", though. The 45 runs roughly (3:55), the LP runs roughly (8:12)--give or take a second or two. Unless I'm missing something (and I certainly could be), there's no real discernable edit in the 45--it just fades much, much earlier than the LP. Granted, we're talking about a four-plus minute difference in time (as opposed to the 40-41 seconds in "We Are The World"), but the same priniciple applies.

I don't have a problem either way.]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2005 13:40:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2931&title=we-are-the-world#2931 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2928&title=we-are-the-world#2928 Author: EdisonLite

Even if there are different solo vocalists (or other elements) after the song has faded out on the 45, in my opinion, it still wouldn't make this a "version". Also, by calling it "length", people with the "We Are the World" CD can know that they can create their own "single" simply by fading their CD recording early.

In just about every other instance where the term "version" is used, it designates a difference in the mix, edits within the song, or something other than fading early. As a reader, when I see the word "length" I automatically know that there's just a difference in length between the two and nothing more, which is the case with "We Are The World."]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2005 12:32:55 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2925&title=we-are-the-world#2925 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2924&title=we-are-the-world#2924 Author: sriv94

I only have the (6:22) version from the Rhino Quincy Jones box set, but even with the extension of the song being a rehash of the choruses aren't there different solo vocalists that change from chorus to chorus beyond the song's single length? If so, from that standpoint I can see the 45 version/LP version designation (because it's not really a matter of the choruses just continuing on for 40 more seconds before the LP fade).]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2005 12:16:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2924&title=we-are-the-world#2924 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2922&title=we-are-the-world#2922 Author: EdisonLite

Pat, if the differences occur beyond the 6:22 mark (once the single has ended), then by your own definition, shouldn't the term "length" be used here?]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2005 11:06:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2922&title=we-are-the-world#2922 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2921&title=we-are-the-world#2921 Author: aaronk

What's the extra content? Doesn't the chorus just repeat a few more times? Also, wouldn't that go against your definition of "length" since there are no other differences in the song?]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2005 07:58:37 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2921&title=we-are-the-world#2921 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2920&title=we-are-the-world#2920 Author: Moderator

I agree that you can fade the LP version to end at 6:22 and arrive at the 45 version. The reason I do not use the terminology "length" to distinguish these cd appearances is due to the extra lyrical content found on the LP version beyond the 6:22 mark.]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2005 07:42:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2920&title=we-are-the-world#2920 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=560&PID=2919&title=we-are-the-world#2919 Author: Brian W.
