"Nadia’s Theme" by DeVorzon/Botkin

   The sole CD appearance of "Nadia's Theme" on Hard to Find Orchestral Instrumentals II (ERIC 11518-2) presents this song at its 45 version length, but it is not the exact same edit that appears on the 45.  For this CD, the producers created a smoother-sounding 45 edit by going back to the LP version and making a slightly different edit, one beat before the obvious and rather jarring edit that occurs at 1:50 on the 45.  Otherwise, this is the 45 version, same mix and everything.

I'll leave it up to Pat to decide how this re-created 45 version should be listed in the database.

	Sounds like it should be listed as "neither 45 or lp version" to me.
	Live in stereo.

	I like the way Pat has now updated the comment in the database, though I might have taken it a step further and explained that this isn't the "true" 45 version due to a slightly different edit at 1:50. Nonetheless, the new database comment suffices. Edited by Todd Ireland

	It's such a shame that this is the only CD source for this song, that I know of. Though I'd be surprised if it hadn't shown up on a Reader's Digest comp at some point, sometime since the CD era began.

	There is at least one more CD source for the song. I have it on a Japanese various artist compilation CD. I can listen to it at 1:50, but since I don't have the Eric CD, I'm not really sure what to listen to or compare.

	BTW, how long is the album version? I wasn't aware this 45 was edited!

	Gordon, can you give me the title/label/year of release of that CD? Not sure how long the album version runs. But if the Japanese CD came out before 2003, it couldn't use the same version as Eric. I think what you're listing for at 1:50 is a bad edit... but it wouldn't be there if it's the album version.

	Gordon, if your Japanese CD has the true 45 version, you'll hear an obvious edit at the 1:50 mark, immediately before the strings come in. The re-edited version has the edit one beat, or about 3/4 of a second, earlier. Can't help with the LP length, sorry. I just know that the 45 was created by editing the LP version.

	Gordon: I'll send you a dub of my 45.

	Hi I listened to my CD and the 45 dub that John supplied, and they are identical, with an edit at 1:50. It wasn't really as sloppy an edit as I thought it would be but there's definitely an edit spot there. <Gordon, can you give me the title/label/year of release of that CD?> "One Hit Wonders" / Polydor / 1997
