Perhaps the Canadians who frequent the board can help us with that :D

You rang? I must admit I'm more familiar with the '76-91 time period, but from what I've determined from those years, probably about 90% of the time the Canadian and US 45s were the same. Towards the later part of the '80s some Canadian labels used the promo edits for commercial 45s rather than the longer album versions US 45s sometimes used, and there were a couple of cases in the early '80s where that was actually reversed. Sometimes there'd be two different Canadian pressings (just like in the US) with two different mixes on them. One example that always comes to mind is Billy Joel's "Keeping the Faith". When the 45 first came out in Canada, it was the 4:35 album version. A few weeks later we got the 4:44 "special mix". If anyone needs specific examples you can either PM me, or post a question to this board and I'll try to answer if I can. Hope this helps :) |

Not a non-U.S. version, but I'm aware of 3 different mixes of "Celebrate" by 3 Dog Night. The album, the Dunhill 4229 release, and the gold-label back-to-back hits single. For some reason, when the song was first released, the local record store received the BTB hit singles first (or else they were already in stock...either "One" or "Easy To Be Hard" was on the other side). I noticed a difference in the handclaps in the "celebrate, celebrate dance to the music" chorus between this and what was played on the radio. Somewhere over the years, that copy got lost and I replaced it with the standard single. Anybody got both versions who can compare 'em? |

So what's the latest on this title? The database now doesn't mention the missing handclap, just that every entry is now "lp version."
Are there more mix differences other than the missing "handclap"? |

Not that I'm aware, but the ending is longer.

And of course it's also faded at 2:56.

You know you're really older when you think that younger singer Jesse McCartney's related in anyway to former Beatle Paul McCartney.
