Another Database Question

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

   I've been a purchaser of Pat's book for years but I am now just getting into the online database version so I hope I am not asking questions that have already been addressed.  Here goes...

Why will it say "45 length", "LP version", "45 version", etc. next to some titles vs. an explanation of the version next to the time.

Let me give you an example as I am now working on my "Sounds of the Seventies - The Late 70s"  cd.

Alan O'Day - Undercover Angel (45 Length)

1977 (S) 3:24

vs.

Andrew Gold - Lonely Boy

1977 (S) (3:55) (dj copies of this 45 ran (3:54) and (4:22; commercial copies were all (4:22))

Im sorry if this seems like a silly question, but I want to make sure that I am putting the right version of a song as I burn it onto my hard drive.  

I would assume from above that the version of Lonely Boy is the DJ copy (but it doesn't actually state it)and is there a reason why they are listed differently?

Hope this question makes sense.

	Fetta, the explanation provides added clarification. In the case of "Lonely Boy," there were two different versions on the DJ 45. The DJ 45 had the (3:54) edited version on the mono side, and the unedited (4:22) version on the stereo side. Commercial 45 copies were stereo (4:22). The CD track matches the shorter edit of the DJ 45, except that it is in stereo. The Alan O'Day song had just one version released on 45, which was different than the LP length.
