	my commercial 45 issued as capitol 4179 lists a run time of 3:25 but actually runs closer to 3:30.....i point this out because my vinyl 45 runs slightly longer than the longest cd version listed in the db...'disco hits volume 5' at 3:28 which actually only runs 3:27.......the vinyl 45 has the last vocals as 'boogie fever, i got the got the got the fever...i think it's goin around and around and around.....boogie'.....it fades out during 'boogie'.... the cd version from 'disco hits' goes......... 'boogie fever, i got the got the got the fever...i think it's goin around'........it fades out during the first 'goin around' loop.... Edited by edtop40

	The version on Rhino's cheapie Disco Hits Vol. 5 (1994) is a digitally identical clone of Rhino's Disco Years Vol. 3 (1992). Bill Inglot found some superb source tapes for the Disco Years, which tended to sound FAR better than what had come out pre-Disco Years. In my opinion, the Disco Years tracks have the biggest jump up in sound quality from what came before, for any compilation series out there. These source tapes might have been for the LP version, the 12" version, or might have even been remixed from the multi-tracks (just a guess on my part). Bill Inglot recreated a lot of edits and fades for the Disco Years discs, some of which didn't match the 45s perfectly. Some were re-edited to match the 45 edits but didn't fade where the 45 fades ("Hot Stuff", "Le Freak"). Some featured additional edits that weren't in the 45 ("I Love The Nightlife" removes 20 beats at 2:39-2:49 from the 45 version). Some recreated the fades incorrectly, going too long or too short with the recreations. I'd guess that "Boogie Fever" falls into this last category. It sounds spectacular, but the fade doesn't match the true 45 fade. There are a bunch of other compilations that all use the same analog transfer as Disco Years Vol. 3, so it wouldn't surprise me that virtually all compilations released after 1992 would have the same length issue.
	There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

	Ed Looks like there were different pressings of the original stock 45. My copy of Capitol 4179 (red label) has an actual time of 3:26 and the fade point matches the Rhino CD (3:27) exactly. The Rhino CD is pitched a little bit slower making it one second longer. The matrix# in the run-out groove of my pressing is S45- 92527-F11. My Starline re-issue, on the other hand, has a longer fade that matches your description perfectly, and its actual time is 3:29. The matrix# on the re-issue is S45- 92527-Z3, and after that the initials "JS". I'm told Capitol would often use stampers for their re- issues that were used for earlier stock pressings. I'm curious if your run-out groove #'s match the re-issue. MM

	mark, that's very interesting....the run out groove info on my red/orange label capitol 4179 is 'F.P. S45-92527-Z3 #3 JS'.....so....it looks as if my commercial 45 matches more closely to your starline re-issue....
