Mark, I did that edit three times. What I finally did
was concentrate on the drums because what I noticed is
that the commercial 45 beat is steady. I had given up on
that "yeahhhh" bit. I hope that 45 edit makes its
appearance one day if someone can convince Stevie to give
it up.]]> Tue, 05 Sep 2017 11:23:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=669&PID=48032&title=dont-you-worry-bout-a-thing#48032 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=669&PID=47916&title=dont-you-worry-bout-a-thing#47916 Author: garye

Yes I found that out cause it did sound quite right.
But it is fun to try anyway!]]> Thu, 17 Aug 2017 20:33:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=669&PID=47916&title=dont-you-worry-bout-a-thing#47916 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=669&PID=47915&title=dont-you-worry-bout-a-thing#47915 Author: MMathews

garye, there is a portion of the intro on the short DJ version that does not appear in the commercial 45 or LP. So unfortunately it cannot be re-created without taking that portion from the DJ 45 or the re-issue that has the DJ intro.

The DJ short version of the song is here:

It is as I remembered it, and might be created by
editing the LP cut. Am gonna give it the old high school
try!

Deadwax is Y584F-A-62418-15A SC - 3C, which differs from the 62428-S shown on the label (the "LFTC" side label states 62418-S, with deadwax Y584F-B-62418- 08C SC - 3C.) The listed time for this "Don't You Worry..." is - like the commercial 45 - (3:40) but the actual time of (4:00) runs longer than the commercial 45. Is this the same actual time as the 1974 DJ reservice? The matrix number on my original DJ 45 with the full intro is 62423-S.

Beware: there are multiple versions of the Yesteryear
reissue. My copy also is listed 3:40 but runs 3:46.
Also listed as Y584F, but different deadwax: Y584-A

Hi People,

Revisiting this thread, does anyone out there have that 4:00 'Yesteryear' version to share?

I would love to hear that longer ending!!

[P.M. me if you don't already know my email.]

Thank you.

So, I set out to get this 45 version for a friend, but
along the way I ended up re-creating it. I was sent a re-
creation and it was real close - but not quite "perfect".

Now, it is an edit, not a mixing issue... but they cut it
very oddly which makes it a huge pain to re-create.Had
they simply made the cut just before the drum beat it
would have been easy. Clip, clip, done. But no, they sort
of cut it in the middle of the drum beat so you get a
snippet of the "yeah" and then the "Heyyyyyy" but with
the "H" cut off. Anyway,tha's the stock 45.

The re-service shorter DJ 45 takes the above 45 master,
and replaces the entire "chatter" intro with one quick
piano riff right after the "eee! eee!" ... since that
chatter-free riff never occurs in the 45 or LP, you can't
re-create it...you need that 3.5 sec piece of audio from
the DJ 45 OR the Motown Yesteryear reissue mentioned
above.
BTW, if you take the stock 45 version and replace the
intro with the short DJ intro your result runs (3:15).
But the DJ 45 fades 3 seconds later, at (3:18). This is
because the edited 45 master has a much longer ending
then we heard at the time. Which brings me to.....

The Yesteryear re-issue 45. This 45 has the short DJ
intro AND the stock 45 edit in the middle, yet it runs
(4:00). It's because it has extra music at the end. It
doesn't fade when the DJ or stock 45's fade, it doesn't
even fade when LP does. It keeps on going for 30 seconds
longer than the LP ending.

Many thanks to John and Steve for the re-issue and DJ 45
dubs.

MM

I don't have a copy of the reservice DJ 45, so it was a real curiosity to me, too. I replaced the intro from the 45 version with that of the Motown Yesteryear reissue 45 and it timed out to (3:16), which puts it right at your guestimate, Andy. I'll have to listen further to see whether it's the edit (or lack thereof) or the fade that accounts for the (4:00) timing on the reissue.

We first played "Don't You Worry..." as an LP cut at my college station, then as the first DJ 45. When the reservice arrived, everyone hated it, because it cut out the whole "Paris-Peru..." bit, which was everybody's second-most-favorite part (the "eee-eee" was number one.) As a result, we never played the reservice, and that was the last time I'd ever heard it.

I think the main purpose of the DJ reservice 45 was to increase the likelihood of getting the record played on the easy listening stations. Innervision's leadoff single, "Higher Ground," never rose above #41 on BB's EZ chart, and while the jazzy Latin groove of "Worry" was much better suited for the adult ear, its intro was not. Another big plus: the Wonder reservice got the radio listener into the heart of the song much more quickly than with the standard intro, just like the later "Rivers Of Babylon" DJ reservice did in 1978. Artistic considerations aside, the strategy worked, as "Don't You Worry..." turned out to be a bigger EZ hit (#9) than pop (#16.)   ]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:01:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=669&PID=24487&title=dont-you-worry-bout-a-thing#24487
