Trammps-"Hold Back The Night"

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

   My commercial 45, confirmed as the Buddah 507 hit release, has both a listed and actual time of (2:59). I only post this info because current database information implies that the actual length of the commercial 45 is between (3:16) and (3:18). Pat, perhaps a second commercial 45 was issued for this song? My 45's deadwax info is "BDAS 507A".

	Does anybody have more information on this song? The database states the 45 runs 2:59 and the LP runs 3:54, but the vast majority of CD appearances-- and there are a ton of them-- run between 3:16 and like 3:30, nowhere near either the 45 or LP times. Are these all neither versions or is there another version in existence? Edited by JL328

	Flashing back 5 years to JL328's question about the vast amount of length differences of the different entries in the database. Jim's 45 is 2:59 and the LP runs 3:54. Is the 45 an edit or is this a length difference?

	Interesting history on this one....it was first recorded as "Scrub-Board", an instrumental b-side to 1972 45 "Sixty Minute Man" on Buddah 321 (2:20), then issued as a different edit on 1975 LP "The Legendary Zing Album" (3:09) along with "Hold Back The Night" which included vocals on the track (3:54), issued as a 2:59 45 fade (running a bit faster than the LP). Using this original US 45 playing https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=iaUnTQ7VPA8 as a reference (itself running a bit fast I believe), I recreated the 45 from the Rhino "Best Of" faded early LP version. Note that the UK version appears to run 2:12 https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=QD3xAZ9PguY. Sadly, I do not have the LP version from CD - only vinyl. https://spaces.hightail.com/receive/7PZh76epks Edited by davidclark
