Todd, I may have solved the issue here. On my cd in very small print it says made in Japan. I'll bet your cd was pressed in the US could you check? My matrix number does not match your matrix number.]]> Fri, 31 Dec 2010 12:08:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5998&PID=28839&title=billy-ocean-suddenly#28839 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5998&PID=28811&title=billy-ocean-suddenly#28811 Author: Todd Ireland

My CD pressing of Billy Ocean's Suddenly plays at pretty much the same speed as all other CDs I have containing the title track, so it appears Pat may have an early CD pressing where "Suddenly" was inadvertently mastered at a slower speed and then subsequent pressings were issued shortly after at the correct speed. I bought my copy sometime back in 1989-1990 and there are two separate matrix numbers stamped on the disc's inner ring: "W.O. 11092-1" and "JRCD8213".

The (3:54) time of the original "Suddenly" cd is correct but that is because it runs slower than the vinyl 45 or LP.]]> Sun, 19 Dec 2010 11:02:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5998&PID=28734&title=billy-ocean-suddenly#28734 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5998&PID=28725&title=billy-ocean-suddenly#28725 Author: abagon

Thanks for providing the actual running time on the "Suddenly" album CD, Tood! I'll keep posting differences between running time of the vinyl LP (US only) and indicated time on the database, when I've found it.

I listened to "Suddenly" as it appears on my copy of Billy Ocean's Suddenly CD (Jive 1212) and it actually has a run time of 3:50 just like on your vinyl LP, Abagon. Perhaps Pat could double-check his Suddenly CD pressing(s) and confirm if the track really does run 3:54 as currently shown in the database.

And thank you, Abagon, for providing the actual and printed vinyl LP run times for "Suddenly"!]]> Sat, 18 Dec 2010 22:48:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5998&PID=28709&title=billy-ocean-suddenly#28709 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5998&PID=28643&title=billy-ocean-suddenly#28643 Author: abagon

The database indicates "(S) (3:54) Jive 8213 and 1222 Suddenly"
The title tune "Suddenly" on the vinyl LP (Jive JL 8-8213, US pressing) runs (3:50) (The listed time is "3:55".) FYI: The 45's actual running time is (3:51).
Is the album CD slower than another CDs?
