a-ha "the sun always shines on TV"

pat

any reason why this song isn't included in the db

it peaked at #20 on billboard in 1986

is this another example of your averaging system not including a song??

I don't think the song has appeared on any domestic releases other than Hunting High And Low, although there was a CD single released in the '90s with both "Take On Me" and "The Sun Always Shines..." which contains the 45 version of "Sun." For anyone looking for the 45 version on an import compilation:

The Singles 1984-2004 (also titled The Definitive Singles Collection: 1984-2004) (4:42) (45 version)

Does anybody know if the LP version be trimmed down to match the single version?

Thanks to John, I can now confirm that the LP version CAN be edited down to match the 7" single.

I had to speed my LP version up 0.4% to match the single edit I was using as my template.

My file has 0.136 seconds of absolute silence to tape hiss, then the first note begins at 0.146. Hopefully that will help you "line up" my edits.


1:04 -- Remove 16 beats, starting on the snare on the "6." (7.572 seconds)

1:24 -- Remove 16 beats, starting on the first of two quick snares before the "HUH!" (7.572 seconds)

3:37 -- Remove 8 beats, starting on the snare on the "8." (3.785 seconds)

4:27 -- Remove 8 beats, jumping from the downbeat to the final note. (3.775 seconds)

After deleting silence at the beginning and end, tape hiss ran to 4:43 but actual music seemed to run out at 4:42.

PromoJunkie, it IS a misprint; the correct time and length for the US promo is 4:42.
