the commercial 45 contains the "special mix" on the A-side and runs 4:48 NOT 4:44 as stated on the 45's label...... |

We covered this several months ago in another thread, Ed. That 4:48 remix is very similar, but not identical to, the Special Mix. It's closer than the album version is, though: http://www.top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=159& KW=the+faith+billy+joel&PN=0&TPN=3 |

Was the "special mix" of "Keeping the Faith" the ONLY version that was available on commercial and dj 45s? I'm curious as to whether there were also 45s that had the LP mix or were all the superior "special mix"?

I recorded a bunch needle drops over the weekend from mint/never been played before vinyl on tracks are are unavailable or very hard to get on CD. "Keeping the Faith" definitely falls under this category. I have two questions about this 45:
1) Has anyone noticed that the 45 sounds somewhat muddy? 2) Did the 45 version ever get played on the radio? I don't remember ever hearing that remix and even the video uses the album version. Thanks. -Jeff Edited by Fetta |

never heard the 7" remix here in NY back in the day. Radio always played the album mix.

I know I played the remix on the air in Albany at WTRY. I always felt that the reason they remixed it was because it was the SIXTH single off the "An Innocent Man" album, so they wanted to freshen it up for radio. To make something new out of an almost year old track.

Most of the time I don't touch the EQ on my vinyl transfers; however, this is one where I punched up the lows and highs. It just sounded too thin and flat without making any adjustments. Also, I took mine from a vinyl re-issue 45 rather than the original styrene stock copy. I was in Columbus, OH, at the time it was a hit, and although I don't recall the station, I seem to recall it was the 7" remix. Edited by aaronk |

Remix here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I remember getting the album and being totally confused trying to figure out what was "wrong" with the album version. :)
