Is it me, or is there noticeable tape drag in the last 45 seconds of the song? I don't recall the 45
having it, but I could very well be wrong. |

Good ears, Doug!
Rhino's Stephen Bishop best-of Best Of Bish (1988) does indeed have tape drag from about 3:28 onward. The same analog transfer is also used on TM Century track no. 0006211. These are the only sources I found that have the tape drag. MCA's Stephen Bishop best-of On And On (1994) has no such tape drag. (If you'd like to compare for yourselves, slow down Best Of Bish by exactly 0.33%, and line them up. They start to fall out of sync around 3:28.) The same analog transfer is used on:

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

The tape drag doesn't really affect the overall length of the track much; it accounts for about a half of a second.
What matters more is how the mastering engineer decided to fade the track. Best Of Bish runs about 4:16, with a nice, long fade. The long fade is why I initially chose this as my preferred version, not realizing it had tape drag at the end. On And On shortens the tail of the fade significantly, so that it runs 4:13. The Tootsie soundtrack runs 4:15, and has a fade comparable to Best Of Bish. It sounds nice, if you can find it. Edited by crapfromthepast |
