Cherish - Association

Pat,

Can you help me with this? Have you ever noticed this noise?

Thanks Pat. My discs containing "Cherish" are "The Association - The Essentials" and "Billboard's Top Pop Hits of 1966". They are both Rhino discs, and they both have noise unless I am hearing things. Do you have these discs to check? Thank you.

One of the two "and I do. . .cherish you" passages is edited out (I think it's the first one, but don't quote me).

Our commercial copy of "Cherish" by The Association (Valiant 747) states a time of (3:00), but actually runs (3:12).

So does this mean that a stereo 45 version can be successfully replicated from the stereo LP version, or is there missing or unique audio in the mono 45 that would not make this possible?

I have The Association's "Cherish" on several CDs, and on everyone of them there is a scratchy, static-type sound that occurs between 2:38 and 2:45 of the song (my discs all have the Stereo-LP version). Is there any disc that doesn't have this noise, or was it mastered that way? Additionally, does anybody anticipate this coming out again soon in its 45-version? I don't want to have to invest big bucks for a used Dick Bartley Greatest Love Songs CD if I don't have to (it seems to be the only way to get the 45-version). Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Actually, when using heaphones I have noticed what sounds like some distortion on all stereo LP version appearances between 2:35-2:44 right after the word "you" in the following verses:

You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you (brief distortion then occurs)
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you (brief distortion occurs again, only more loudly)

The distortion sounds sort of like the static-like noise that occurs when turning a dirty knob on a mixing board. I do not hear this distortion at all on the mono 45 version.

One more thing... the pitch of the LP version seems to vary from CD to CD with the 3:21 length being the fastest to the 3:25 time being the slowest. Does anyone know the correct LP time and speed?
