OK, I did a search on Gene Redding (found the post by typing it into a search for "Message Body", not "Topic Subject"). In there, Mark M points out that the file has been replaced in iTunes, spotify, and everywhere with a flawless copy from master tape. I agree. I got this just a few months ago and there was no evidence of any vinyl (even when studying it closely under headphones) and nothing skipped! So I'd say EMI/Capitol replaced it - probably not because of it being from vinyl but probably because of the obvious skip that must have been on the previous file, causing many purchases to complain.]]> Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:30:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37214&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37214 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37212&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37212 Author: AndrewChouffi

To EdisonLite:

I don't remember, I deleted the file!

For more info search this messageboard for Gene Redding; Bill Cahill & I both commented on it a couple years back.

Where exactly is the skip on "This Heart"?]]> Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:52:30 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37210&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37210 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37209&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37209 Author: AndrewChouffi

To Edison Lite:

I'm pretty sure that JL328 was talking about a *different* 'Lost Hits Of The...' series. Ya know, the one with Gene Redding's "This Heart" with a stylus skip... [ouch!]

Those iTunes-only "Lost Hits of the '70s" and "Lost Hits of the '80s" (each with two volumes) were released by Capitol/EMI in 2010 (before Capitol was bought by Universal) and come from their master tapes in the vaults - not vinyl. I think it would be great if Universal did the same thing - also Sony and WB. But Universal is the label most in need of something like this. They have LOTS of singles and single mixes that they've just never released in any digital format.]]> Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:29:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37202&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37202 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37201&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37201 Author: JL328

Playing devil's advocate to the last post...

I am well under 45, know the Stallion song (but not from 1977), and would be the second in line to buy a CD with the song on it.

iTunes and Amazon did a pretty nice job releasing those "Lost Hits of the [Decade]" compilations. I don't know how well those sell (or what the source of those songs is--- many may be vinyl), but I snatched those things up as soon as I found them. I think that a song like this (and frankly all the songs listed in the first post) would sell well enough online to justify a digital CD at the very least. They must sell enough to break even, I'd guess.]]> Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:10:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37201&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37201 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37200&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37200 Author: crapfromthepast

So I decided against the idea.

I don't want to dissuade anybody from pursuing getting a
song out into the public. Heck, I'd be the first in line
to buy a CD with the track on it. But realistically, no
one under 45 years old will know the song (ironically,
probably because it's never been released on a CD and
would never have gotten airplay on CD-based retro shows
like mine).

A "digital 45" mp3 seems like a no-brainer. Someone
would have to spend an hour of studio time pulling the
master tape, playing the master tape, and tidying up the
file, and that's it. No cover art or liner notes to mess
with. I'd certainly buy the track for a buck.]]> Thu, 04 Apr 2013 05:04:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37200&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37200 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37199&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37199 Author: EdisonLite

It's funny you mention that, because it's not too far- fetched of an idea. Jimct and I were just talking about this the other day. If the record labels knew they didn't have to go digging in the vaults for rare single edits/mixes--if they knew we could supply our own sources--how difficult or expensive would it be to license songs for a compilation like this?

It's a fantastic idea. I've always wanted to put out
CDs. However, the labels don't like to license things
unless they can be assured of a certain amount of units
sold. Also, if they think something has potential for
sales, they will sit on it or charge crazy fees. And,
getting the right tapes/masters? let's not even talk
about who would be in charge at this company and who
would decide what/ Stereo? Mono? Song version if there
is more than one?]]> Wed, 03 Apr 2013 21:11:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37198&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37198 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7366&PID=37197&title=new-barry-scott-lost-45s-cd#37197 Author: MMathews

A digital release for all collectors items seems the most
realistic option these days.

As for Stallion, well i can add that i am from Long
Island, and we did listen to WABC also. I actually
remembered the song from its run in 1977.

No, not a monster hit but memorable enough, because i
heard it again years later i said "wow, where has this
been"?

I think the really frustrating thing for those of us who
want these last "underdogs" of the top 40 era on CD...
There's been SO much issued of the top 40 era already -
most of it over and over again.
But the top 40 collectors keep getting left in
frustration that these same few lower charted [but often
beloved] hits keep getting left behind.
