David Bowie-"Young Americans"

And I thank you kindly for keeping this item on your radar screen, Jim! I wasn't sure if the listed 5:05 time on the long promo 45 side was accurate since this would be approximately :05 shorter than the LP version length. Thanks for confirming the long side actually matches the LP version length... This was worth the wait, my friend!

To DavidClark:

Answer: Yes and no.

45 can be created by editing (with one out-of-sequence) the LP version.

But there is a flanger used on one passage of the 45 that is hard to recreate perfectly.

Gordon, your point is well taken. I always noticed that the Hartford
stations especially, would pay very close attention to what was happening
in both nearby Springfield and Worcester, MA. But that was the cutoff. For
CT radio purposes, Boston and Providence (which themselves have always
been closely linked) may as well be Seattle, WA and Portland, OR! Same
thing for Long Island, NY, and the CT shoreline. It's less than 20 miles
from Bridgeport, CT to Port Jefferson, NY. And daily ferry service provides
solid access. But, radio-wise, CT has never payed any attention to LI radio.
Yet I've known several "further out on the Island" LI natives (not nearby to
NYC, like Ed) that have long made CT radio their personal #1 choice. Kind
of a "one-way thing" there. Strange!

Throughout the country, I think, it's funny which nearby cities are
considered "more relevant" by the local population. It can be north, south,
east or west, and it isn't always to the closest nearby city. The reasons
probably go back many years.

Yet today, this song is a staple of the CBS Oldies playlist
nationwide besides classic rock playlists.
