"Whenever I Call You..." - Kenny Loggins

   The actual commercial 45 run time of Kenny Loggins' "Whenever I Call You 'Friend'" is 3:58. (Thanks once again to Jim for his tremendous assistance in supplying the timing info.  The printed record label time is 3:59.)  I mention this because the correct hit version of this song containing the introductory vocal tuneup runs 3:56-4:01.

	The oldest version of this song that I have on CD is on Razor & Tie's 2-CD Easy '70s (1993). It sounds excellent here, with seemingly very low-generation source tapes, terrific dynamic range, nice EQ, and no evidence of noise reduction. The same analog transfer is used for: Time-Life's 2-CD Body Talk Vol. 1 Forever Yours (1996; differently EQ'd digital clone) Time-Life's 2-CD Singers And Songwriters Vol. 5 1978-1979 (2000; differently EQ'd digital clone) Realm's 3-CD Ultimate Love Classics Vol. 2 (2002; cuts off 7-second intro) Time-Life's 2-CD Ultimate Love Songs Collection Almost Paradise (2004; differently EQ'd digital clone) Time-Life's 2-CD Classic Soft Rock Vol. 4 More Than A Feeling (2006; differently EQ'd digital clone) There are compressed/limited versions on Yesterday Today Tomorrow The Greatest Hits Of (1997) and Essential (2002; different from Yesterday). Too bad, because Kenny Loggins could use a really good-sounding greatest hits collection with a full dynamic range. Michael McDonald got a few great-sounding collections, why not Kenny? Go with Razor & Tie's 2-CD *Easy '70s* (1993), or one of the digital clones. Edited by crapfromthepast
	There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

	Was a version serviced to radio without the vocal tune-up? (Since that's the way I always heard it...should be. ;))
	Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken.

	Not that I'm aware of, Doug. All of the promo 45s we got in at the station I was at had the tune-up intro. It was simple enough to cue past it, though (and most everybody there did, leaving a nice little cue burn surprise for those who didn't.)

	I remember cueing past the tune-up when the song was a hit in 1978. You're right, John, sometimes I'd be listening to someone else cue to the beginning, then that 'surprise' cue burn, lol.

	Thankfully, the beginning "tune-up" is such an easy edit, that even I pulled it off!

	Found an old cue burned copy years ago. The "tune-up" had the cue burn, but the rest was passable.
