Editing "Rainy Day People" by 3 seconds kind of reminds me of Air Supply's
"All Out of Love" single which edits out about 5 or 6 seconds. I recall there
were comments here as to why bother. I certainly feel that way about "Rainy
Day People" but with "All Out of Love" they cut off the 1st half of the intro, and
though only making it shorter by a short amount, I figured Arista head Clive
Davis did it to get to the 1st verse sooner. (Personally, I prefer the longer
version).

On Manilow's "The Old Songs", for the promo 45 they do a similarly short edit
in the middle, maybe under 5 seconds, and I always thought that was
unneeded. ]]> Sat, 11 Mar 2023 16:06:25 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9030&PID=62690&title=gordon-lightfoot-complete-singles-197080#62690 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9030&PID=62374&title=gordon-lightfoot-complete-singles-197080#62374 Author: Paul C

For some reason, for the Canadian commercial 45, they
used the mono side of the US promo. So this 1978 single
was mono in Canada. It is an early fade of the LP (and US
commercial 45) length. (It reached #44 on the RPM
chart.) ]]> Wed, 21 Dec 2022 08:02:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9030&PID=62374&title=gordon-lightfoot-complete-singles-197080#62374 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9030&PID=62373&title=gordon-lightfoot-complete-singles-197080#62373 Author: Paul C

I managed to answer my own question about "I'm Not

I have a question on one of the tracks on this collection.
The 45 of "Daylight Katy" has a listed time of 3:20 however
the song runs a full minute longer on this CD release. Does
this mean the actual running time on the 1978 Warner Bros.
45 was 4:20? ]]> Tue, 20 Dec 2022 18:04:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9030&PID=62367&title=gordon-lightfoot-complete-singles-197080#62367 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9030&PID=51559&title=gordon-lightfoot-complete-singles-197080#51559 Author: jcr102

According to the liner notes on Lightfoot's "Complete Singles", "Just
like Tom Thumb Blues" was a non-LP cover of Dylan's original.

As for "I'm Not Sayin", I recently discovered that the original 45 had
added strings, giving it a different feel than the usual version turning
up on albums.]]> Sat, 23 Mar 2019 03:27:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9030&PID=51559&title=gordon-lightfoot-complete-singles-197080#51559 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9030&PID=51527&title=gordon-lightfoot-complete-singles-197080#51527 Author: Ron S

The 45 edit of "Rainy Day People" plus the 45 length of "The Circle Is Small" are just two reasons to get this release. I did not have "If You Could Read My Mind" without the harmony vocal so happy it's on this release and in stereo.]]> Sat, 16 Mar 2019 07:27:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9030&PID=51505&title=gordon-lightfoot-complete-singles-197080#51505
