I may have finally discovered an official 5:00 edit, albeit released only by
Geffen Mexico on a promo 45. Has anyone heard this? It’s listed as part of
a GNR lot on eBay but at $700 it’s too rich for my blood. There’s also a
listing on Discogs: Geffen RX-1111.]]> Tue, 25 Oct 2022 21:45:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=62016&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#62016 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=60572&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#60572 Author: PatrickRyan

That's great!

It kind of reminds me of what we did in my record store, on cassette. We would take say, March/April of 1969 and
record oldies from those 2 months but only put on a verse and a chorus, and then mix it to the next oldie. The customer
would then say, "Wait, what was that song that was on 2 songs ago!" It was a great way to promote sales. -Bill.]]> Sun, 27 Mar 2022 13:13:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=60568&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#60568 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=60567&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#60567 Author: PatrickRyan

Exactly. And I can't find a way to hear the "Estranged"
edits. Have no problem recreating.

BTW...I'm editing these monstrosities (LOL) because when
I get 5 minutes into a song while driving I'm ready to
skip ahead. And I enjoy hearing music the way I remember
it on the radio, especially 80's and 90's pop/rock.

There's so much info in this message board. I'm very
thankful and happy to be a part of it!]]> Sun, 27 Mar 2022 12:24:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=60567&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#60567 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=60564&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#60564 Author: PopArchivist

Welcome Patrick! I try not to get involved in making my own edits. It's like golf, it can
get frustrating. Besides, I'm too involved with my own restorations! -Bill.]]> Sat, 26 Mar 2022 11:39:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=60563&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#60563 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=60561&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#60561 Author: PatrickRyan

I went back into my archives and pulled a copy of "Fire/Incident on 57th street", and slapped on my Shure V-15 type 5, and determined that "Incident" is precisely 10:03!! Good thing it wasn't an 'A' side, customers would have been coming back and saying, 'It won't PLAY'!! -Bill.]]> Thu, 16 Jan 2020 13:59:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=53327&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#53327 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=53322&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#53322 Author: eric_a

If we're including B-sides, the longest may belong to Bruce Springsteen. The "Fire" 45 is backed with a live recording of "Incident on 57th Street" that is listed as 10:03! This recording has lots of quiet passages and narrow grooves. Unfortunately, the grooves on my copy are so narrow that it won't track properly, so I don't have an actual time. ]]> Wed, 15 Jan 2020 23:35:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=53322&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#53322 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=53320&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#53320 Author: aaronk

Bill, I think you're probably right about the longest A-side top 40 / Hot 100 hit on a vinyl 45. It has to be "November Rain." The only other one that comes to mind at the moment is a Steppenwolf B-side called "For Madmen Only," which was the flip side of "Ride With Me" (a Hot 100 hit, but didn't make the top 40). "For Madmen Only" is 8:45 (actual length), and it's a stretch calling it a "song." More like avant garde noise.]]> Wed, 15 Jan 2020 19:38:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=825&PID=53320&title=gunsnrosesnovember-rain#53320
