Deep Purple -- "Black Night"

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

The UK 25th Anniversary CD of In Rock has "Black Night (original single version)" and runs 3:25 but the U.S. Warner Brother 45 label states a playing time of 2:58.

Can someone verify the length of the U.S. 45? 

If it is indeed 2:58 is that a fade or edit from other versions?

	Indy, my U.S. promo 45 (Warner Bros. 7405) lists (2:58) but plays an actual, just-barely (3:01). The end fades.

	Actually, I found a copy cheap on ebay and it came in today. There is actually an edit rather than a fade. The organ solo from 1:50 to 2:16 on the English single version is cut. I made my edits on the downbeat of "one." With that edit and the same fade it runs just as you note, 3:02. Compare your promo to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHlODWd4GeM

	Btw, the 45 single version of this song appears on the Time Life disc Sounds of the Seventies - Guitar Power (R942-23), track 13.
