Lionel Richie 45 versions

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

   I recently bought Lionel Richie Definitive Collection, and I noticed that "Running With The Night" is NOT the 45 version.  I also checked this song on Back To Front and it's the exact same version---NOT the 45 version.  It seems that an attempt was made to re-create the 45 edit, but they were not successful.  To check for yourself, cue in to 3:30 and listen to the bad edit on the guitar solo.

Also, I listened to "All Night Long" from Definitive Collection, and the intro sounds like it's not correctly edited either.  I believe they missed a note of the strings, but I haven't pulled out my 45 to check.  I also have yet to see if this is the way the song is presented on Back To Front.

If anyone has info, please post!

	OK, on "All Night Long," *Definitive Collection* has the intro edited incorrectly (at 0:13), and there may be another mistake at 3:30 (haven't been able to verify yet). *Back To Front* has the intro correct, but a wrong edit at 2:46. Does anyone know if the correct 45 version has appeared on CD yet? What about the correct 45 version of "Running With The Night"?

	hey aaron....you are right.........the 45, starting at around the 3:30 mark, is different than the cd "back to front".....the guitar solo/ending is completely different........do you know if that guitar solo is/was on the original lp "can't slow down"???

	ok....i just listened to the 45 of "all night long (all night)" versus the cd version from "back to front" and they are identical except the 45 fades out to 4:16 while the cd version runs 0:04 longer to the 4:20 mark......

	edtop40, yes, the original lp version of "Running With The Night" is 6:00. The guitar solo on Back To Front is edited, whereas there is no edit on the original 45---it just fades out. I'll have to actually get out my 45 of "All Night Long," because something definitely sounds different on Back To Front. Did you pay close attention to the horns at the 2:46 mark? If you A/B'd them, you might not have heard the difference, because the song structure is the same.

	edtop40, you are absolutely correct on "All Night Long" on *Back To Front. It's Definitive Collection* that has the wrong edits at 0:13 and 2:46.

	A little confused about "All Night Long"... Is the version on the Hitsville set not the proper 45 edit? Can you point out the incorrect edits if there are any (and if you have them handy)?

	Hitsville is correct. It's Definitive Collection that has the bad edit at 0:13.

	Thanks, Aaron! Lesson: Always look first to the Hitsville box sets!
