Yeah, I remember him announcing that.]]> Sat, 28 Jun 2014 01:46:37 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41712&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41712 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41710&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41710 Author: The Hits Man

What could have been...too bad.

Thanks, guys, for saving me a good chunk of money. I appreciate all your reviews. I was really hoping they would use the mono single versions here. Drat.

Don't know about any of you but I plan on unloading my box as soon as possible via amazon or ebay. Maybe I can break even.]]> Fri, 20 Jun 2014 11:24:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41686&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41686 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41685&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41685 Author: jimct

Women's Love Rights is stereo, listed (3:13), actual (3:11), and is the same
LP version found on all current db CDs.

Bring The Boys Home is stereo, listed (3:09), actual (3:07). The listed time
on the 1971 45 was (3:08). What the H-D-H box did is to simply fade out
the LP version early, as if them doing so would then magically make what
appears on this new set the correct 45 version.....

FYI, I just gave the entire set a quick listen, and only 3 current
database songs on it appear in mono:

-Freda Payne--Deeper & Deeper
-8th Day--She's Not Just Another Woman
-100 Proof Aged In Soul--Somebody's Been Sleeping

Overall, there are a decent number of songs that do appear in mono, but
the overwhelming majority were 45-only releases, made by either obscure
or non-Top-40-hit acts, and were recorded in 1972 or earlier.

I was ready to buy.

By chance is Laura Lee's Women's Love Rights or Freda Payne's Bring The
Boys Back Home correct and in mono?]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2014 18:56:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41674&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41674 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41664&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41664 Author: Todd Ireland

Many thanks to everyone here who investigated the contents of this new Holland-Dozier-Holland box set and reported back with your very helpful findings... From the looks of things, you're going to be saving many of us a lot of money and disappointment as a result of not buying this set!]]> Tue, 17 Jun 2014 21:12:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41664&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41664 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41656&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41656 Author: The Hits Man

I can also confirm that many of the songs are not the 45
single versions.

If you're looking for the mono singles, forget it!]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2014 23:49:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41656&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41656 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41655&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41655 Author: Brian W.

I downloaded "Give Me Just a Little More Time," and it is narrow stereo, NOT mono... but definitely stereo. Also not very good sound on that track.]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2014 23:05:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41655&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41655 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41654&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41654 Author: Santi Paradoa

Forget about the sound for a moment. If you want the
correct US 45 versions then I can tell you at least three
are not.

1. You've Got To Crawl (Before You Walk) - The 8th Day:
The LP version has an intro of ten seconds versus the
single version that had a six second intro before the
vocal starts. The version included is the ten second
intro.

2. The Day I Found Myself - Honey Cone: The version used
has no spoken word intro. Both the 45 and LP versions
had a spoken word intro.

3. I'm Not My Brothers Keeper - Flaming Ember: The longer
LP version that has been out on CD before (running over
four minutes in length) is the one used on this set.

I'm still listening to the 14 discs so there may be
others. I will add that there are several low charting
Hot 100 hits that are on this set that I've never heard
prior (and I've discovered some songs that are pretty
good).]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2014 21:13:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8111&PID=41654&title=complete-hdh-45s-box#41654
