Thanks to someone posting the 45 on YouTube, I can confirm the fade is a smooth/"studio" fade out from 4:18 to 4:30.8 (past the end of the loud piano note), assuming you trimmed the leading silence from the Storyteller album version. The album version doesn't finish until 4:39.4.]]> Sat, 28 May 2022 14:54:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=976&PID=60905&title=rod-stewart-downtown-train#60905 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=976&PID=52034&title=rod-stewart-downtown-train#52034 Author: elcoleccionista

Thought I'd throw this in, the 45 version of "Downtown
Train" is as Todd stated an early fade of the
"Storyteller" album version. There is a different mix
of the song on the "The Best Of Rod Stewart"
compilation, also released in 1989 pretty much
everywhere except in the US. There are several
differences, the most obvious one being the intro on
the "Best Of" version has no piano, just the oboe.

Actually, "Broken Arrow" wasn't originally put out on a 45 during its chart run, but was released on the format several years later on an "oldie series" single.

Yep, you guys are right about "Downtown Train" having been issued on vinyl 45. I didn't see the "(v)" designation in Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles 1955-1999 book so I assumed there must not have been a vinyl single release. Evidently, all I needed to do was spend about 30 seconds doing an eBay search to see otherwise!]]> Tue, 23 May 2006 22:26:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=976&PID=5131&title=rod-stewart-downtown-train#5131 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=976&PID=5128&title=rod-stewart-downtown-train#5128 Author: cmmmbase

actually, no. 1999's Faith Of The Heart wasn't on vinyl. it was a CD single (possibly a cassette single as well)

I did purchase a white sleeve 7" single back when the single was released, the B side was "The Killing of Georgie" as I can recall.]]> Tue, 23 May 2006 13:20:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=976&PID=5121&title=rod-stewart-downtown-train#5121 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=976&PID=5120&title=rod-stewart-downtown-train#5120 Author: cmmmbase
