Pat:

Thanks to help from Ed and Jim, we've uncovered the following information regarding Boston's "We're Ready" which should probably be updated in the database:

DJ copies of this 45 run (4:10) and (3:47), not (4:14) and (3:49) as stated on the record label; commercial copies run (4:10), not (4:14) as stated on the record label

Since the database doesn't label the current CDs as "LP version" or "LP length," does anyone know what the difference is, given that the 45 is :12 longer than any CD version?

i believe they're the same version except that on the full length cd, they merge that song into the following song, while the 45 has a very slow gradual fade out for the last 0:20.....i know one or two cd's have the correct 45 version...would you like a copy?

Which CDs have the extended 45 fade? All the CDs listed in the database have the LP length.

I also think that both the 45 and the LP are the same. However this LP track crosses over the next track "The Launch" and the previous track "Amanda". It might that "We're Ready" actually is running till "4:10" although it's impossible for us to listen to it because of overlap. I don't have some compilation CDs including this song. I suppose the "We're Ready" intro is including the "Amanda's ending tone" if their CDs used "Third Stage" source.

After looking into this situation further, I hear cymbal taps preceding the first guitar note on the introduction on the LP version while these taps are missing on the 45 version so the database has been updated to indicate that all appearances on cd so far are either the LP version (which tracks into the next selection) or the LP version faded before it could track into the next selection.

Soo, if you have the 4:09 version, edit out the beginning cymbal taps, you have the 45 version?
