pat

the version from the cd "faith" is the correct 45 version and all the others should be noted as "neither 45 or lp version".....all the other versions start the song about 0:03 later during the very soft intro.....i don't know if they couldn't hear the intro properly or they chose to truncate the intro but the only cd that has the proper 45 version is the cd "faith"....edtop40

This situation sounds very similar to the one discussed elsewhere on this board recently regarding Rufus & Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody". I would agree that the difference with "Faith" is probably significant enough to warrant a notation in the database. My question is, would a (neither the 45 or LP version) be the best comment to use here, or perhaps something a little more specific like (intro fades in :03 later than the LP or 45 version). I'm wondering if a "neither the 45 or LP version" comment in this instance might mislead readers into thinking this is an altogether different version or edit when in reality the only discrepency is the first few seconds of the intro. Anyone else want to weigh in on this?

todd...piont taken.....maybe an entry of "neither 45 or lp version" would be too strong of a qualifier.....

I agree that the "neither" comment could be misleading. Pat usually doesn't designate anything for only a few seconds of fade difference anyhow. I suppose it doesn't matter of the fade is at the beginning or the end.

Very good point, Aaron. So, Pat, what policy do you think should be adopted to determine if a delayed fade-in is significant enough to warrant a comment?

Personally, I would be confused by a "neither" comment, and I would opt for something like "fades in :03 later," as you suggested, Paul.

Was there ever a promo CD or 45 that went past the organ intro and started with the acoustic guitar?

I know sometimes we cued past the organ on-air, but it may have been personal decisions by the jocks at the station I worked at in 1987.

No and no, John.

We/many other stations were still using carts to a large extent during 1987, although their "death rattle" would come soon enough. We had both a "cued-past-the-organ" cart and the full CD in-studio at our station, for those jocks comfortable just cueing the disc past the organ. Our station policy (like many others, I suspect) was to never play the organ intro on-air at all.

FYI: I just noticed on my copy of "Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best Of George Michael" the track contains a full minute of silence once the song "Faith" ends. I ripped the song and listened to it and discovered the dead silence. I should have know something was wrong when the song clocked in at over four minutes. I wonder how many other discs have the same glitch.

Mine has it as well, Santi. For some time, I thought it
was an iTunes/CD drive ripping issue on my end, then I
went back to re-rip to find out about the dead silence
ending. So mine has it as well, it's made in the US. I
will check with friends who own the Argentina or Euro
verions of the compilation to check for the glitch.
