Re: The Guess Who's "Guns, Guns, Guns": While you can match the edits using the LP version from Rockin' (and numerous Guess Who compilations), the U.S. RCA 45 mix differs slightly (I don't know whether the Nimbus 9 Canadian 45 used the same mix.)

The difference occurs three seconds into the 45, at the point where the "aaah" harmony vocals begin on the drum beat (or at nine seconds into the LP version.)

On the LP version, the vocals come in at a very low volume and build gradually to a crescendo. Not so on the 45, where they come in at a higher volume and stay there before ending very abruptly at the next edit point.

Those vocals start before the bass kicks in, so it isn't possible to fly them in from the album version, after they've gotten louder.

The stock 45 features one other unique difference from its parent Rockin' album: "Hi, Rockers!", the LP's final track, is a pre-SCTV Great White North-type bit set in a bar, featuring the entirety of Phil Phillips' "Sea Of Love" being played on a jukebox as a two-way inebriated conversation unfolds. The track concludes with a medley of two Guess Who originals: "Heaven Only Moved Once Yesterday" and "Don't You Want Me", segued together (the latter song would appear in a newly-recorded, slower version two years later on the Road Food LP.)

Unlike the ending on the album that segues into "Don't You Want Me," "Heaven Only Moved Once Yesterday" - all 1:59 of it - stands all alone and completely in the clear on the B-side of the "Guns" 45.    ]]> Mon, 10 Jul 2017 16:01:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8769&PID=47719&title=non-top-40-lp-versions#47719 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8769&PID=47702&title=non-top-40-lp-versions#47702 Author: eriejwg

The thread is here.

The timings listed there are the full timings of the files, which can include a few seconds of outro silence. They'll at least get you close.

I don't pretend to know the LP/45/promo 45 differences for all those songs, but I'll be happy to share what I have.]]> Thu, 06 Jul 2017 14:19:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8769&PID=47700&title=non-top-40-lp-versions#47700 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8769&PID=47699&title=non-top-40-lp-versions#47699 Author: eriejwg

There is a 45 version and also a shorter promo edit for
Roll With The Changes.

My Old School can be recreated from the LP version,
though it's tricky as John said.

The 45 version of Billion Dollar Babies is on The
Definitive Alice Cooper.]]> Thu, 06 Jul 2017 13:51:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8769&PID=47699&title=non-top-40-lp-versions#47699 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8769&PID=47697&title=non-top-40-lp-versions#47697 Author: cmmmbase

David, from your list, I'll get 45 dubs out of the following (listed times, unless otherwise noted):


Guns, Guns, Guns      The Guess Who (3:26) (the intro takes some real getting used to, if you've only heard the LP version)
Rock And Roll Stew      Traffic (Part 1, 3:32)
Billion Dollar Babies      Alice Cooper (3:00)
Farewell Andromeda (Welcome To My Morning)      John Denver (3:29)
My Old School      Steely Dan (4:19 actual; see note below)
Keep Your Head To The Sky      Earth, Wind & Fire (3:25)
Song For Anna (Chanson D'Anna)      Herb Ohta (2:50)
Ride The Tiger      Jefferson Starship (3:09)
Angel (What In The World's Come Over Us)      Atlanta Rhythm Section (3:28)

Gimme Your Money Please      Bachman-Turner Overdrive (actual 3:53; an early fade; however, there is a major speed difference, as the 45 runs about 5.5 seconds slower than the LP version on The Anthology CD)

St. Charles      Jefferson Starship (3:50)
Cowboy Song      Thin Lizzy (3:17)
I'm Scared      Burton Cummings (3:37)
Come In From The Rain      Captain & Tennille (3:50) ("to fade: 3:30; fade: :20" on the DJ 45 label)
Sleepwalker      The Kinks (3:27)
I'll Always Call Your Name      Little River Band (3:35)
Indian Summer      Poco (3:35)
Crazy Feelin'      Jefferson Starship ("short version" 2:30)
Listen To Her Heart      Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (2:47)
Peter Gunn      The Art Of Noise featuring Duane Eddy (3:13)

The single version of "Rubber Bullets" by 10c.c. was included as a bonus track on the 2007 10c.c. 7T's/Cherry Red import reissue CD. Don't know whether it runs a snorch longer on the CD, or if the U.S. UK 45's listed (3:50) timing was inaccurate, since I don't have the 45.

The last time I dubbed my stock "Keep Your Head To The Sky" 45, it skipped, just one of two 45s I've ever had do that. Unless, of course, that's the actual edit! If not, the cutting engineer should have kept his/her nose to the lathe. (UPDATE: OMG, that is an edit at 2:29. The funny thing is, I never noticed it when I'd bought the 45 in '73, because I always heard the record in mono at the time. Listening to it in stereo, it resembles a skip because the tape was cut and spliced diagonally. It doesn't help that it's a clunky edit in the first place, but the wave form clearly shows that there's no physical skipping going on.)

I did a CD replication of the "My Old School" 45 (hey) nineteen years ago and - not wanting to have to do it over again from scratch - had to give it a fresh listen to confirm that I'd sped it up at the time to match the 45. (Yes. Whew!) In addition to the edits, the final portion on through the fade is one of those extended "Bloody Well Right"/"Don't Look Back"-type of promo "copy-and-repeat" fade endings, yielding the longest-held "oooooooo" note ever (don't try reenacting this "My Old Helium High" sendoff at home without an oxygen mask in hand.) ;)

intro-3:58)
Neon Nites - ARS (promo) 2:44
Tom Sawyer - Rush (promo) 4:07

I noted the ones that I have promo copies of in the event
they're different from stock copies.
