Aaron,

Just wondering but there are two different versions I remember of this song. One is on an MCA Hits Sampler Vol 3 which has no ending applause. Then there is a version on the 1995 Love Songs Compilation CD by Elton that has the applause and then the fade out. Which one is the true 45? Are they both the 45 since they both are the same version with alternative endings? And what version is on the CD single that you have, the no applause or the applause and fade??

Thanks in advance!

Attn: Pat. I just picked up an original Japan-for-U.S. pressing of Elton John's 1985 compilation titled Your Songs, on MCA MCAD-31016. It seems you have this CD already, as you DO have it listed under the other three top 40 hits that are featured on it, which are "Your Song", "Friends", and "Tiny Dancer". However, note that track 7 is "Candle in the Wind", which is not currently shown in the on-line database. "Candle in the Wind" has an actual time of (3:46) on my copy, which is in line w/ all of the CDs you have labeled as the "(”Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” vinyl LP version)" for its 1987-88 chart run...]]> Sat, 11 Apr 2015 00:00:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=43445&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#43445 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=38698&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#38698 Author: Todd Ireland

Thanks to Abagon for informing me that his commercial 45 copy of Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" has an actual and printed run time of 3:48, just like the promo CD single.]]> Thu, 01 Aug 2013 22:46:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=38698&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#38698 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=35491&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#35491 Author: aaronk

Pat, I see that the DJ CD single information accidentally was added to the database under the 1997 version of "Candle In The Wind." The promo CD details above are actually for the 1987 "Live In Australia" version. As noted above, the DJ CD does contain the correct 1987 45 version with the applause removed.]]> Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:11:53 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=35491&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#35491 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=35370&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#35370 Author: aaronk

I recently picked up a promo CD single for "Candle In The Wind," which has only one track. As expected, it contains the 45 version of the song.

I have that CD with the acoustic version of "Candle In The Wind." It sounds like an earlier studio version of the song recorded during the making of the LP. I think it's fantastic (clean & simple).    ]]> Wed, 31 Mar 2010 07:33:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=25736&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#25736 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=25731&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#25731 Author: EdisonLite

On the "30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" CD of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", there's a version of "Candle in the Wind" called the "Acoustic Mix" (a bonus cut). Does anyone have this CD and know what this version is exactly? Is it the main 1973 version but with some instrumentation removed? Or is it a different vocal or with some instruments added? ]]> Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:00:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=25731&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#25731 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=14410&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#14410 Author: eriejwg

Just got in a promo 45 for this today. Having been over 20 years since I heard the 'muted' version, it sounds very odd without the crowd, having heard only that version for such a long time. Run time is 3:48, ends cold.]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2008 19:41:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=14410&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#14410 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=10732&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#10732 Author: aaronk

Interesting observation, Andy. I'm sure you are correct that there are several "live" hits that weren't really live. Another example is John Denver's "Sweet Surrender," which may have been mentioned in another thread. Another obvious one is "Get Ready" (LP version) by Rare Earth, although I'm not sure they claim it to be "live."

Regarding "Cherry Cherry," I have to be honest that I've only heard the vinyl 45 and the version that appears on one of his hits collections (labeled in the database as "45 version but with audience applause on the introduction..."). I didn't realize that the close-to-45-version on CD was also a different mix from the LP. I just assumed that it was an edit of the LP version, but that they couldn't re-create the 45 version exactly because of the applause.]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 23:29:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71&PID=10732&title=elton-johncandle-in-the-wind-87#10732
