New poster here. After reviewing some of the posts, looks like I may feel at home here. I have been creating single versions from albums for many years now. This weekend I tackled "Peace Pipe" by B.T. Express, which is as good as their Top 10 singles. But it had the disadvantage of being promoted as a "B" side in many markets.
The single version is made up of 9 edits from the 6 minute album version. That's right, 9 edits! It took me hours. But the results are priceless because the editors did a good job at capturing all of the key moments of the song in the single version. Edited by bell |

Thanks so much for the welcome Gary. And that's cool to be number 200! Hopefully I can do justice to that distinction in my future posts.

my commercial 45 for the b.t. express song 'peace pipe'
issued as the a-side of roadshow 7003 states the run time as 3:35 but actually only runs 3:31...can anyone else confirm what their 45 run times is because the db claims the actual run time is 3:36 |

My (same) 45 runs 3:33, but the last couple of seconds are awfully quiet. Mine definitely doesn't make it to 3:36. I wouldn't quibble with anything between 3:31 and 3:33. Of course, you don't quibble with much of anything after you put it in your peace pipe and smoke it on up.

The stated time on the label is (3:36) and I have two different pressings of this 45. The first has matrix number S-62190-1A-RE and runs (3:33), the 2nd is matrix number S-62190-1F and runs (3:32). Yet a 3rd dj copy runs (6:02) with a stated running time of (6:04) and matrix number S-62177-1B.

My 45 has the same matrix number and actual length (3:33) as Pat's first one (S-62190-1A-RE), FWIW.

The Iconoclassic label recently reissued the B.T. Express 1975 album Non-Stop on CD. This reissue includes several bonus tracks including the 45 edit of "Peace Pipe" running 3:31.
The 45 edit of this top 5 soul hit hasn't appeared on CD too often. BTW, it looks like Billboard magazine listed this side of the single as the b-side on it's Hot Soul Singles chart. The two sides were never listed separately on that chart. Edited by Santi Paradoa |
