my commercial 45 issued as atco 6158 lists a run time of
2:48 and does indeed run that length.....the mono version
on 'the hit singles collection' (rhino 78326) is identical
to my vinyl 45....my stereo version runs 2:52 and is slower
than the mono version...]]> Sat, 20 Apr 2013 04:40:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=867&PID=37396&title=bobby-darin-beyond-the-sea#37396 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=867&PID=5492&title=bobby-darin-beyond-the-sea#5492 Author: davidclark

had to bring this to the top again. I'm surprised the speed issue on "Beyond the Sea" didn't get resolved. Pat, you usually indicate speed differences in your database.

To add to this, "Queen Of The Hop" also runs at two different speeds (the mono being faster than the stereo). My Pop Annual lists the 45 time as 2:08, and all mono versions are a few seconds shorter.

So, for these two songs, does anyone know if the 45s were faster than their stereo LP counterparts? Or are these faster mono versions as a result of recent CD mastering?

thanks!

Gary,

the timing on "Mack The Knife The Best Of Volume Two" that I have is 2:48. It is mono and it runs faster than the stereo versions that I have that run 2:52. Joel Whitburn's Pop Annual states the 45 timing as 2:48 as well.

So, we have a mystery....]]> Sat, 29 Apr 2006 03:44:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=867&PID=4608&title=bobby-darin-beyond-the-sea#4608 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=867&PID=4579&title=bobby-darin-beyond-the-sea#4579 Author: Gary Mack

The Best of Darin Volume 2 cd has the mono Beyond The Sea and it runs 2:51. The version on the mono Atco Bobby Darin Story LP runs 2:54, though the fade is nearly inaudible the last couple seconds. So I'd have to think the hit mono mix was, indeed, 2:52.

P.S. Yes, I timed the song on the album using the music under Darin's voiceover introduction.]]> Wed, 26 Apr 2006 17:32:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=867&PID=4579&title=bobby-darin-beyond-the-sea#4579 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=867&PID=4576&title=bobby-darin-beyond-the-sea#4576 Author: sriv94

I think what David's asking is whether the vinyl LP version runs (2:52).

Unfortunately, I can't help with that.]]> Wed, 26 Apr 2006 16:43:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=867&PID=4576&title=bobby-darin-beyond-the-sea#4576 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=867&PID=4575&title=bobby-darin-beyond-the-sea#4575 Author: vanmeter

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but the That's All CD version runs 2:52.]]> Wed, 26 Apr 2006 16:05:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=867&PID=4575&title=bobby-darin-beyond-the-sea#4575 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=867&PID=4573&title=bobby-darin-beyond-the-sea#4573 Author: davidclark

would that mean then that all 2:52 or thereabouts versions of the song run slow? I also have "Ultimate", and it is slow there. Does anyone have the stereo "That's All" LP to confirm? Perhaps the CD of "That's All" is indeed an indication of the original stereo LP and a slower speed?

David, the 45 states (2:48) and runs (2:48) and yes the version on "The Songmakers Collection" does run slow. I do not have the album that included this song so I cannot comment on the running time or speed of the LP.]]> Tue, 25 Apr 2006 19:37:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=867&PID=4556&title=bobby-darin-beyond-the-sea#4556
