ChicagoBill - you mention that it’s the b-side for the short version. I have a
promo for the short version and since it’s stereo/mono with Second Avenue
being the only song. I recall this shortened version was released in 1977. I
believe they tried to take another shot at making it a hit by making a big edit.
I assume then it’s the A-side. My record is Asylum E-45427-A on both sides.

(I noticed now 45cat shows two promos came out in 1977 with Second
Avenue as the a-side and Strengthen My Love as the b-side…along with
issuing the stereo/mono Second Avenue that I own).

Should have been a bigger hit!]]> Thu, 10 Aug 2023 12:50:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9980&PID=63448&title=o-t-second-avenure-tim-moore#63448 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9980&PID=63446&title=o-t-second-avenure-tim-moore#63446 Author: ChicagoBill

Isn't this what they did with the Art Garfunkel version? They originally release a 4 minute
version and later they cut it down to 2 and a half minutes or so? Strange. -Bill.]]> Thu, 10 Aug 2023 09:49:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9980&PID=63446&title=o-t-second-avenure-tim-moore#63446 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9980&PID=63443&title=o-t-second-avenure-tim-moore#63443 Author: ChicagoBill

Upon further listening, they took out the first chorus and the third verse and left the
second chorus and the repeated third verse. -Bill.]]> Thu, 10 Aug 2023 08:52:25 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9980&PID=63443&title=o-t-second-avenure-tim-moore#63443 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9980&PID=63438&title=o-t-second-avenure-tim-moore#63438 Author: EdisonLite

Thanks. My first guess was since he repeats the last verse & a chorus, then
that's what they took out. I was just wondering if there might be something
longer than the album version, since the Canadian book didn't go into details.]]> Wed, 09 Aug 2023 01:22:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9980&PID=63438&title=o-t-second-avenure-tim-moore#63438 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9980&PID=63435&title=o-t-second-avenure-tim-moore#63435 Author: ChicagoBill

Gordon, I have both on american issue 45RPM records. The first, Asylum E-45208 A states the time as 3:51 and is
actually 3:54. It is the hit version and is virtually identical with the LP and the CD that I have on Edsel. The
other is on Asylum E-45427-B and is the 'B' side of 'Strengthen My Love' from his 3rd album, 'White Shadows'. The
label says 2:27 and runs 2:31. It sounds like an edit of the 3:54 original. On the 3:54, he repeats the chorus and
the last verse. On the 2:31, there is no repetition. -Bill.]]> Tue, 08 Aug 2023 15:13:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9980&PID=63435&title=o-t-second-avenure-tim-moore#63435 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9980&PID=63434&title=o-t-second-avenure-tim-moore#63434 Author: MPH711

I actually like the shorter version better. The record has a printed time of
2:27. Here is what it looks like:

The Canadian chart book indicates that Tim Moore's "Second Avenue" charted
twice in Canada, and one version was longer than the other - but no timing
details. Does anyone know the lengths of these 2 versions? I assume on is the
LP length. I know we have some people here from Canada. But if anyone can
help, it's much appreciated.]]> Mon, 07 Aug 2023 15:09:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9980&PID=63432&title=o-t-second-avenure-tim-moore#63432
