Is their a difference between 45 length vs. 45 version.
For example....Stayin Alive by the Bee Gees is listed as 45 length vs. 45 version. Thanks |

Yes... "45 version" means there's at least one edit, or a mix difference. "45 length" means it's just an early fade of the album mix.

Thanks Brian.
So just to be sure, if it says 45 length, it is the actual 45 version.....correct? |

45 length would be where the LP version could then be faded to match the length of the 45.
45 version implies one or more edits on the 45 that aren't present on the LP or differences in vocals or instrumentation. |

Would it be safe to say that "45 version" is edit(s) only and thus could be recreated from the lp version but "45 mix" could not?
I rarely see the term "45 mix" is why I ask. |

The line between "version" and "mix" can be confusing. A 45 version is often just an edit of the LP version, but sometimes one version might contain additional or re-recorded instruments and vocal overdubs not found on the other version (such as the case with Eddie Money's "Two Tickets to Paradise" to name just one example). Meanwhile, my understanding of the "45 mix" and "LP mix" terms are that they both contain the exact same instrument and vocal tracks, but the 45 might, for example, feature the guitars or keyboards mixed more loudly and "in your face" compared to the LP mix where those same instruments might sound relatively "buried".

I've always took it to mean that on this board, when someone says "45 mix" it can mean that there are some different instruments mixed in as well as differnt levels of mixes -- I guess it's a gray area. I could refer to H&O's "I Don't Wanna Lose You" as the 45 mix or 45 version, but it has strings and horns that are not on the LP at all.
