287. Merle Haggard - From Graceland To The Promised Land
Lead track from the MCA album My Farewell To Elvis. The
LP version begins with a short spoken intro by Merle followed by
a synthesizer fanfare that transitions to the acoustic guitar song
intro. The single version starts with the guitar intro. So far all CD
versions are the LP version including the Bear Family box set
The Troubadour. To approximate the single version excise the
first 12 seconds of the LP version up to the first note of the
guitar intro. Note: Merle re-recorded the song in the mid-90's so
be beware of that version.

Here is the original MCA 45:

405: Dolly Parton - Light Of A Clear Blue Morning
Two RCA promo 45's were issued. One had the long version
[4:53] on one side and short version [3:16] on the other. Both
sides were STEREO. A second promo had the 4:53 version on
both sides - one side in STEREO & the other in MONO. The
stock 45 has the 4:53 version in STEREO. I recall that most
country stations programmed the short version however I do not
know what may have been played on pop radio.
So far the edited version has not been issued on CD. Dolly has
made at least three re-recordings of this song so beware of
those.

Here is the original RCA stock 45 version:

Oh, yeah.

The 45 remains the same midtempo
throughout.

The original LP version kicks into a
double-time hoedown-styled rave-up.

Great, inspirational song to me. And I
told songwriter John Hall that when I
met him once in Albany.

Both versions are great, but I do like
the single's ending better.

Does anybody know the difference between the album version
and the single of Orleans' "Reach"? I've tried to find it on
YouTube with no luck.

Sadly, I don't own the 45.

However, I have an old dub of the 45 (presumably from
Hykker [S.O.]) that is a remix with an audibly different
drum track on the instrumental intro.

Well, we REALLY need someone with a 45 to hear this unique 45 edit. One
would guess that they'd simply end the 45 at 2:44 of the LP where the song
"ends" (would be easy), but one never knows why certain choices are made
when they are made. 2:44 is also the 45 label printed time. And the box set
is simply the LP ended at 2:44.

Great catch Andy. My ARS box set has the edit of "Neon
Nites" labeled as mono 45 edit. I need to change the note
on my file. Thanks!]]> Fri, 12 May 2023 12:16:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9949&PID=63012&title=1977-hot-100-lower-rungs#63012 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9949&PID=63011&title=1977-hot-100-lower-rungs#63011 Author: AndrewChouffi

I know of three on the list:

1. Never My Love - Addrissi Brothers (3:28). It was included on the Reader's Digest box set 20 Years Of Solid Gold Groups: 1960-1979.

2. Darlin' Darlin' Baby (Sweet, Tender, Love) - O'Jays (3:03). This one appears on the import CD The Very Best Of The O'Jays.

This CD has a total of 21 tracks including "Love Train" twice (the hit three minute version and the extended version that runs over six minutes that first appeared on a 1977 various artists LP).

3. Neon Nites - Atlanta Rhythm Section (2:45). This mono 45 edit is on The Polydor Years (Box Set). This box did not include a stereo 45 edit for this song. ]]> Thu, 11 May 2023 17:03:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9949&PID=63005&title=1977-hot-100-lower-rungs#63005 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9949&PID=63001&title=1977-hot-100-lower-rungs#63001 Author: edtop40
