While in the car the other day, I had SiriusXM 70s on 7 on, and they played a version of "Fernando" with the first 12 seconds lopped off (and I seem to recall hearing that version on other radio stations too). Was that ever issued as a promo, or was it just an edit for the sake of editing?

My promo 45 has the fade intro.
I've always disliked songs with fade-in intros, it sounds loose on the air. I've done my share of intro-editing when I was a jock/MD. |

I've noticed some strange edits on 70s on 7. One that sticks out is Roundabout. The version they play runs around 4:52 with some awkward edits. I'm thinking it comes from a TM GoldDisc (501R) because they have a 4:52 listed version in their database.

I, too, dislike fade-in intros. For example, Limahl's "Never Ending Story". Presumably, what they started with in the studio was a track that was at full volume at the beginning. There was some other hit song I heard the other day that does this - I forget what but a '70s or '80s song - and again, I wish they had kept the fader up from the get-go :) Can anyone else think of hits from that era that do this? |

"Never Ending Story" fades in at the intro and then fades out at the end in order to imply that the song is, in fact, never ending. The LP version of Fleetwood Mac's "Over My Head" fades in but the 45 starts cold with an edit right on the downbeat taken from (I presume) a later part of the song.

The fade-in on Boston's "More Than A Feeling" still bugs me to this day.

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

A few other hits from that era that fade-in:
Space Oddity - David Bowie Black Water - Doobie Brothers Turn To Stone - ELO Swingtown - Steve Miller That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more. |

Every station I've worked at, including a couple classic rockers always cued it to the first bass note in the intro. Their follow-up single "Long Time" was the same way, though that only gets played today on classic rockers, and it's the full LP version.
a couple more that immediately come to mind... Joy - Apollo 100 While You See A Chance - Steve Winwood Don't Stand So Close To Me - Police Steal Away - Robbie Dupree
I think the 45 is a remix too. Edited by Hykker - 5 hours 54 minutes ago at 6:57am |
