OT: Judas Priest Turbo Lover

Rich,
Here's what I have a copy of, the commercial 45.

Turbo Lover

No worries, John. :-)

With John's help, I've been able to determine the commercial 45 IS the "Hi-Octane Mix Edit."

The bad news is to correctly re-create the single edit involves some out of sequence edits of the full mix.

Grab the first four bars of drums starting at 6:26 to 6:32. (I ended up boosting this audio a couple of db to better match the rest of the mix.)

Then pick up with the downbeat at 30 seconds in.

4 & 1/2 seconds after that, cut to 1 & 1/2 seconds before the lyrics (you should have two downbeats before the lyrics).

The next verse is skipped entirely, taking us to the guitar solo. The edit here happens after the first part of the chorus, after the word, "other" on the downbeat of one, when the drums suddenly sound bigger.

It's then a simple fade in the last 15 seconds, ending about 3:56. I hear all of the word "cover" in the fade but nothing beyond that. The repeating beats that follow the word "cover" in the long version are not audible on the tail of the 45.

The single dub I have actually runs about .2% SLOWER than the mix I'm working on from "Priest, Live & Rare" (released only in the UK and Japan).

I apologize for not getting more specific times; once I started chopping the song into pieces it became tricky to identify the "true" edit points of the original, complete file. If anyone would like more details on the edit, let me know and I will help where I can.
