 Topic: Teddy Pendergrass & W. Houston - Hold MePosted: 09 July 2011 at 8:55pm |

From the Whitney Houston LP, final cut 'Hold Me' duet with Teddy Pendergrass. At 0:18 I hear what sounds like a glitch. Would this be an example of a tape dropout? How can something like this get overlooked and mastered into the final product!?
This version runs 5:58 which is rather long for airplay. Was a 45 or DJ copy ever released? I'd like to compare if anyone has any info. Dave |

The 45 was an early fade, about a minute shorter. According to the wav file I made, it's 5:06. So I'm assuming someone told me that was the length of the single version.
As for the dropout, this recording was produced by Michael Masser, who also produced (on Whitney's next album) "Didn't We Almost Have it All", which has HORRIBLE vocal distortion throughout much of the song. If Michael couldn't hear that painful distortion, it wouldn't surprise me he didn't notice a little dropout in "Hold Me". |

Just received a copy of the commerical 45
Asylum Records 7-69720 Teddy Pendergrass/Hold Me bw Love 4:53 listed, 5:18 actual And yes, it is an early fade. The fade starts at 5:03 right till 5:18 I should also note their is no glitch/tape dropout at :18 in. It sounds more crisp than the LP Version. |

By the way, the 45 version of "Hold Me" is on the Teddy Pendergrass CD called "Bedroom Classics."

Arista record president Clive Davis was known for having the 45s list a shorter time than the actual run time (in hopes of getting more stations to play the song). It would surprise me if this was more in the 3:45-ish range.
I've always really liked this song (and especially the original version recorded by Diana Ross as "In Your Arms") but felt Whitney's version ran way too long. So for my listening purposes, I faded it the single length (actually a little shorter). But I think I'll fade this song to 3:35 and see how that sounds (i.e. if it has enough choruses before the song's fade is over). If anyone gets this 45, I'd be curious to know the actual run time, too. |
