This is from a post of mine on the Steve Hoffman board, from a thread related to Rhino's Have A Nice Day series:
Not sure that it reveals anything new, but it's a good summary. |

Wow! 10 years since this thread has been touched. I guess I'm going to do this a lot if I'm spending my time here instead of reading politics this year.
I just happened to be listening to the "Billboard Top Soft Rock Hits: 1973", and hit this thread at the same time. That version seems to be 02:17 give or take. But what I did notice was what appeared to be one of those editing errors at 01:43 where the guitar begins the duel. To me, it sounds like there are two overlapping parts to the guitar. I am by no means a musician but, I don't think you can make one guitar sound that way, even if you are trying to. Maybe it sounds different on other compilations but, this one just happened to be playing at the time. I was originally going to comment on the hiss but, I see that has already been covered pretty well. All I can say is that being there sure was an amazing experience. I had the chance to hear this song on AM and then on FM at night when things were quieter around the house. I still remember hearing the tape hiss on the FM station. |

Pat Downey's book tells me that the 45 version appears in mono on a CD from K-Tel called Country Music Classics Vol. XIX, which I don't have. Everything else is either the 3:14 LP version or a 2:16 edit of the LP version that isn't the true 45, all being in stereo. I have the LP version on a Cema 2-CD set called Instrumental Magic (1991), with a differently-EQ'd digital clone on Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies - A Loss For Words (1995). I'm guessing that Bill Inglot did the edit for this specifically for HAND, and it's done fairly well. Without going into too much detail, he lopped off the first 13 seconds, did a few more edits in the 0:13-1:54 portion to reduce the number of exchanges, and kept from 1:54 onward. On the HAND version, the last edit is at 0:55, and from there onward corresponds to 1:54 onward on the LP version. There's a ridiculous amount of hiss on HAND - it's got terrific presence, but it's really excessive on this track. There's a differently-EQ'd digital clone on Time-Life's AM Gold - Early '70s Classics (1992), which rolls off the hiss somewhat. Still, in a side-by-side comparison, the hissy version on HAND has lots more life than the full LP versions, which sound muffled in comparison, and even sounds better than the EQ'd clone on AM Gold.
