Twilight Zone by GOLDEN EARRING: commercial copies all run (4:45) on the DB.
An US commercial copy that I possess is the actual time (4:05) (stated on the label(4:44)) |

Since it's now been established that a short commercial 45 version of Golden Earring's "Twilight Zone" exists, all existing "45 version" comments in the database for this song really should be revised to read: "long 45 version".

Here is that short version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msOwM2lD6z0 An edit from 2:40 of the single version to 3:13. Editing on the 4th beat seemed to work best. Then a fade of 17 seconds or so to 3:59. It does not appear this version is available on CD. Which one got the most airplay? |

The commercial 45 I have (4:44 listed, 4:45 actual) is the file copy KDWB used to dub the song to cart. It's a styrene Bestway pressing (deadwax: TT - 103 - 82 NP 6070 BW [plus some indecipherable initials] along with the oval EDP logo.) The fonts and layout on the label shown in the YouTube clip indicate a PRC pressing (assuming, of course, it was the actual source of the audio.) Since at least one independent plant (Bestway) was contracted out for this job, this might be a case of one plant mistakenly using the DJ stamper for some stock copies. Anybody with the shorter stock 45 want to chime in with pressing details? |

We didn't play the song where I worked in early '83 (the PD wasn't comfortable with the line "bullet hits the bone"), of the CHRs in Boston only WHTT played it and they played the 4:44 version. I didn't think to ask if I could have the promo since I already had a stock copy (though I would have had I known there was an edit...promo edits are one of my collecting interests).

I don't remember why I have provided the wrong actual running time on the first post in 2008.
The actual running time is (3:59),which is the same as the You Tube link by Indy 500. Pat, the indicated time (4:05) on the db is incorrect. Modify it, please! My commercial 45 info is below. LONG 45: dedwax # (82 NP 6070 BW (plus some indecipherable initials.) This is identical to the Yah Shure's number. The factory number "19" on the record label. SHORT 45 deadwax # (82NP 6070 - SHORT PRC - C1(or Cl, CI) - (some indecipherable initials)) The factory number "72" on the record label. --abagon Edited by abagon |

"Twilight Zone" didn't even crack the Top 30 on the R&R national airplay chart, so it looks like many stations didn't play it.

That's really strange - I heard "Twilight Zone" all the time in Cleveland. It was one of my favorites at the time.
