"Human Touch" - Bruce Springsteen

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The 10th edition of T40MOCD shows Bruce Springsteen's "Human Touch" on the CDs Human Touch (Columbia 53000) and The Essential (Columbia 90773) as being the "LP version".  I used to have a commercial CD single copy of "Human Touch" and I could swear it was the same as the version on the two aforementioned discs.  Is my recollection correct?  Meanwhile, did commercial cassette or vinyl 45 single copies feature a different version or edit?

	My input was taken from the dj cd single which lists as the first track "radio edit" running (5:09). The second and final track states "LP version" (6:28). Whitburn lists the time as (6:25) so your recollection must be correct Todd but we need to hear from someone that has the cassettes single to be 100% certain of the cassette single running time.

	Pat: I just asked Ed to verify his commercial cassette single copy of "Human Touch". He says the song officially runs 6:28 and the sleeve states "Album Version". Thus, the single and album version are identical.

	I have the LP version (runs 6:28) on Spotlight On Hits Vol. 5. I have what is labeled as "Radio Edit" (runs 5:09) on Top Hits USA RH12, a TM Century disc, and Greatest Hits. Turns out that the "Radio Edit" is just an early fade of the LP version. To create the "Radio Edit", put a 32-beat fade on the true downbeats from 4:52 to 5:09.
