Does anyone know how the version of "And The Beat Goes On" by The Whispers on Club Epic differs from the 12" Single version?
Thanks. -Fetta |

DOES it differ from the 12" version? I thought they were identical.

They are identical, and they are both the same as what is
on the Solar 1979 S/T Whispers album. |

The 3:55 version on Priority's Mega-Hits Dance Classics Vol. 6 (1989) is labeled as "edit of LP version in an unsuccessful attempt to recreate the 45 version".
The same version turns up on a UK 5-CD set from Connoisseur Collection called 100 Dance Hits Of The '80s (1990). Could the 3:55 version be the UK 45 version? The scanned labels on Discogs are no help, because they don't show any run times. |

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

I don't own the UK45 (Solar SO 1) any longer, but my notes tell it runs 3:25 and is the same version as on the UK CD compilation set: "Backtrackin To The 70's" - Castle MBSCD437 from 1995. The music intro on the 45 is 0:26, while it is 0:34 on my 3:55 version (from: Soul Years 1980 - Knight KNCD 22080 (1991)).

I'll have to check my copy of Mega Hits Dance Classics but I don't recall any effort actually made to re-create the 45...I seem to recall it's just the LP/12" version faded out at 3:55 ... are there any edits in at all? |

You're right, Mark!
The 3:55 version is just the LP/12" single version faded from about 3:47 to 3:55. |

Also discovered that the 45 edit is just the 4:51 version from Greatest Hits (and a few other discs), faded early and sped up.
To create the 45, speed the 4:51 version up by 1.5%, then fade from 3:13 to 3:26 (after speeding up), or from 3:16 to 3:29 (before speeding up). The LP/12" single version, the early fade of the LP version on Mega Hits, and the 4:51 Greatest Hits version all run at the same speed. The 45 is sped up 1.5% from all of those.
