Melanie - Peace Will Come

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

   Buried in another thread is a brief discussion of the song "Peace Will Come" by Melanie as found on the cd "Beautiful People: The Greatest Hits Of Melanie" where David Clark points out that I currently list the song as being in stereo on that cd while he thinks it is mono.  Here was my reply:

I just listened to "Peace Will Come" by Melanie and it does sound mono on my headphones but when I look at an oscilloscope trace it looks like very poor stereo separation. Could someone that has the software, widen this song to see if it really has stereo separation?

I received no feedback on this topic so I thought I would start a new thread to see if that would generate additional feedback.

	Hi Pat, well, I loaded the song into Cool Edit, and widening really does nothing. It is ever so slighly "e", which may account for your oscilloscope finding. so, recommend mono!

	i just compared my commercial 45 issued as buddah 186 which lists a run time on the label as 4:47 and version on the cd 'the best of melanie' issued as rhino 70991 and they are the same, except the cd version fades out to the 3:19 mark while the vinyl 45 runs to 4:47....so the dj edit, which is identified as the version on my cd, is just an early fade of the full length cd/lp version....does anyone know if the import cd 'candles in the rain/leftover wine' issued on the edsel(uk) label contains the full length version of 'peace will come (according to plan)'?

	To edtop40: Yes, Ed, I own the Edsel CD and it has the full-length "Peace Will Come" in TRUE STEREO. It sounds terrific. It's a great song. Andy
