Boston -More Than A Feeling Edits

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

   Hi all,

I'm trying to construct the 3.25 45 edit of "More Than A Feeling" edit.  Has anyone done this, or anyone familiar with the cuts?  I'm not sure if I've even heard it!

Thanks for any tips - Eric

	Not sure where the edits are, but the 45 version is available on several CDs. If you haven't picked up a copy of Top 40 Music On CD, it's a good investment. It lists darn near every CD appearance of "More Than A Feeling" (and every other top 40 hit), and it will tell you what CDs the 45 version is on.

	The database notes that "More Than A Feeling" runs slow on Millennium Classic Rock; however, I've found that other CDs with "45 version" but without a "runs slow" comment run at the same pitch. For instance, Rock: The Train Kept A Rollin' seems to run at the same pitch as the album version, and from an online sample, Forever Pop Vol. 2 sounds like the album pitch, too.

	I just did a careful comparison of the version found on Millennium Classic Rock with the actual 45. This CD should have the comment "unsuccessful attempt at creating the 45 version." The producer of this compilation has placed the edit in the wrong spot, so the first chorus is not the correct one. You can tell, because the sustained electric guitar before the first chorus fades completely out before the line "it's more than a feeling." On the 45's first chorus (which is the second chorus on the LP version), the sustained guitar overlaps the vocal.

	Aaron, does your 45's pitch match the faster pitch on the T-L The Late 70s CD?
	Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken.

	The 45's pitch is almost 2% faster than the album version, if that helps.

	Just FYI - The same analog transfer is used for Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies - Late '70s (1993), Guitar Rock - Classics (1994), and Gold And Platinum Vol. 3 (1997; differently EQ'd digital clone of Late '70s, and the best-sounding of the bunch). All use the same edits (obviously), and have pretty similar sound quality. I didn't check to see what's used on Sony's Rock: Train Kept A Rollin' from 1999.

	Are the Time Life 45 edits correct?

	I think they are, based on you saying that on the 45 version the guitar overlaps the vocal on the first chorus. It overlaps for sure on the The Late 70s CD.
