Curious. Does anyone have the edit points for the 3:00 radio
promo? Thanks!]]> Thu, 23 Jun 2022 12:06:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9014&PID=61138&title=5th-dimension-aquarius-sunshine#61138 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9014&PID=50681&title=5th-dimension-aquarius-sunshine#50681 Author: aaronk

Good info! I'd be curious to know if, like the 3:06 stereo edit to match
the mono, it's a newly edited version for that LP or if it's the promo 45
edit that hasn't been folded down. ]]> Sun, 02 Dec 2018 17:34:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9014&PID=50681&title=5th-dimension-aquarius-sunshine#50681 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9014&PID=50680&title=5th-dimension-aquarius-sunshine#50680 Author: Hykker

There may not have been one in 1969, but this album from 1970 has it.

The #1 song of 1969, "Medley: Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)" by The 5th Dimension has a few different configurations on promo 45s. I'll try to sort them all out here rather than adding to the catch-all 5th Dimension thread.

Short/Long
This one has a listed MONO "Short Version" (3:50) with deadwax SCR-772-A (2) and STEREO "Long Version" (4:49) with deadwax SCR-772-A-1-S (2). The short version runs an actual 3:51 and has only one edit and an early fade. After listening to this song four times in a row, I decided to skip timing the long version.

2:59 RE-1
This promo does not state mono or stereo, but it plays an actual 3:00 mono version on both sides. This one has three edits and an early fade. The label and deadwax both state SCR-772-A-2-RE-1.

Gold Vinyl
The last promo I have is pressed on gold vinyl and says that it contains a 3:50 mono/stereo configuration. The mono side plays the same 3:00 edit as the RE-1 promo above, but there is no mention of "RE" anywhere on this promo. Instead, the deadwax reads SCR-772-A-2 MONO.

The stereo side plays an actual 3:06 and has deadwax SCR-772-A-2-S. While this has the edit points in the same place as the mono side, it is a newly created stereo edit that has a slightly longer fade than the mono. My hunch is that the mono edit was created first for the earlier promo, and then it was decided to create a stereo edit to match and issue this gold vinyl promo 45.

Finally, the mono versions on all of these promos and the stock 45 are all fold-downs of the stereo mix.

To conclude, I cannot find evidence that there was an officially released 3:50 stereo edit in 1969. In Pat's database, two CDs contain a 3:50 stereo edit, but I have to believe that these were either created specifically for those discs or were unreleased edits found in the vaults.]]> Sun, 02 Dec 2018 13:53:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9014&PID=50678&title=5th-dimension-aquarius-sunshine#50678
