Thanks for the tip on locating those radio edits. The Box
Set is also available for purchase on Qobuz.]]> Wed, 27 Apr 2022 12:16:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=60742&title=metallica-enter-sandman#60742 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=60741&title=metallica-enter-sandman#60741 Author: kaqueno

Sorry, I may not be the right person to ask or it has
already been discussed elsewhere, but it should be added
to the database that version 45 can be found in the Box
Set, released in 2021.
Also included are edited versions and other rare versions
of "The Unforgiven" (Radio Edit), "Nothing Else Matters"
(Radio Edit), and "Wherever I May Roam" (Radio Edit) that
did not make the top 40 at the time.

I am sure many fans were picking up the singles for the exclusive
live tracks that were included. I believe only imports (non U.S.)
versions were released. I have never heard one edited version
from any of the promos on the air. I do own the promo's for
"Nothing Else Matters" and "The Unforgiven" and the edits
sound jarring. I cringe every time I hear the edit points. Same
goes for the official edit of "Enter Sandman" that I just
discovered. It may be only because I am so accustomed to the
full length album versions. Normally when I hear an edited
version of any song it does not bother me. In fact I tend to favor
them.

At the release of this album I was in high school. I do remember
there was a bunch of hype associated with this release. All of
my metalhead friends were already into them from the old days
and all of a sudden all of us preppy kids were getting into heavy
metal even though were were not into the genre in the late 80s.
This album almost crossed over to a non-metal rock sound and
when "The Unforgiven" was release all the girls fell in love with
James Hetfield's voice. This following continued into the release
of Load in 1996. The big thing then was "OMG they cut their
hair!"]]> Fri, 08 Jan 2021 05:50:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57041&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57041 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57033&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57033 Author: torcan

I always wondered about this: 5 singles were released
from this album and they all sold reasonably well. I
always pictured Metallica fans as album buyers vs
singles buyers. Who exactly was buying these singles,
considering airplay was next to nothing?

Just curious if anyone has any insight.]]> Thu, 07 Jan 2021 14:29:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57033&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57033 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57021&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57021 Author: chendagam

Thanks Aaron. Yeah must be the YouTube conversion. Then again
my ears are not as talented as yours. ]]> Tue, 05 Jan 2021 07:35:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57021&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57021 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57020&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57020 Author: aaronk

I just A/B'd the Edit with the album version. After the intro, the mix is identical between the two. No hotter mix--just editing.]]> Mon, 04 Jan 2021 22:57:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57020&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57020 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57019&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57019 Author: chendagam

I tried to A/B this track and the edit sounds like a hotter mix to
me but I'm far from an expert. Plus I'm using a YouTube source
since the promo CD is so expensive. I do like how the intro is
exclusive to this edit but man it tears the buildup down so much.
That song is all about the buildup to the first verse. They also
cut 4 bars out after the first chorus. In addition they fade the
song out early and I love the long fade on the album version. If I
were to edit this track I would probably try not to mess with it too
much. Tomorrow I'm going to make an attempt at the following
for the intro:
leave first 4 bars
cut second 4
leave 8
trim next 12 down to 4
trim next 8 down to 4
and not touch the rest.]]> Mon, 04 Jan 2021 20:35:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57019&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57019 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57013&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57013 Author: aaronk

The intro is for sure. The rest doesn't sound like a different mix, but
again, I haven’t done a close A/B. ]]> Sun, 03 Jan 2021 19:40:27 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57013&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57013 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57012&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57012 Author: chendagam

The bulk of my memory of this song did come from MTV. I was not
a big Metallica fan nor were my friends until this song went into
heavy rotation on MTV. Aaron are you saying just the intro is a new
mix or the entire song?]]> Sun, 03 Jan 2021 19:04:16 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57012&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57012 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57002&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57002 Author: Paul Haney

At the time "Enter Sandman" peaked at #16, it was still
just a combination of (mostly) CHR airplay and sales. In
fact, the song peaked at #3 on the sales chart and didn't
even crack the airplay chart in Billboard. MTV play was
never a direct factor in the Hot 100 (though it obviously
influenced what many radio stations played). ]]> Sun, 03 Jan 2021 03:17:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9518&PID=57002&title=metallica-enter-sandman#57002
