Does anyone know how the version of "And The Beat Goes On" by The Whispers on Club Epic differs from the 12" Single version?

Thanks.

DOES it differ from the 12" version? I thought they were identical.

They are identical, and they are both the same as what is
on the Solar 1979 S/T Whispers album.

The 3:55 version on Priority's Mega-Hits Dance Classics Vol. 6 (1989) is labeled as "edit of LP version in an unsuccessful attempt to recreate the 45 version".

The same version turns up on a UK 5-CD set from Connoisseur Collection called 100 Dance Hits Of The '80s (1990).

Could the 3:55 version be the UK 45 version? The scanned labels on Discogs are no help, because they don't show any run times.

I don't own the UK45 (Solar SO 1) any longer, but my notes tell it runs 3:25 and is the same version as on the UK CD compilation set: "Backtrackin To The 70's" - Castle MBSCD437 from 1995. The music intro on the 45 is 0:26, while it is 0:34 on my 3:55 version (from: Soul Years 1980 - Knight KNCD 22080 (1991)).

I'll have to check my copy of Mega Hits Dance Classics but I don't recall any effort actually made to re-create the 45...I seem to recall it's just the LP/12" version faded out at 3:55 ... are there any edits in at all?

You're right, Mark!

The 3:55 version is just the LP/12" single version faded from about 3:47 to 3:55.

Also discovered that the 45 edit is just the 4:51 version from Greatest Hits (and a few other discs), faded early and sped up.

To create the 45, speed the 4:51 version up by 1.5%, then fade from 3:13 to 3:26 (after speeding up), or from 3:16 to 3:29 (before speeding up).

The LP/12" single version, the early fade of the LP version on Mega Hits, and the 4:51 Greatest Hits version all run at the same speed. The 45 is sped up 1.5% from all of those.
