"Mack The Knife" by Ella Fitzgerald

I don't have the Leading Ladies set, but the 4:21 version would have to be either an edit or a different recording, as I timed my 45 at 4:39 (give or take a second) with about 4:32 of that being the actual song (the rest audience noise). The hit version is a live recording during which Ella forgets some of the words and has to improvise, although the humour seems to be lost on the German-speaking audience, as there is barely a chuckle to be heard. (Perhaps the 4:21 version doesn't fade in until after Ella's spoken introduction, which doesn't begin until after the music starts??)

In the database entry for the The Complete Ella In Berlin CD, Pat provides excellent information on how to re-create the 45 version from this CD, although you will need the previous track, "Lorelei", as its last few seconds are the first few seconds heard on the "Mack The Knife" 45.

I only have one of the CDs noted in the database as having the "LP length" of the song, Jazz Divas Gold. The 45 version can also be re-created from this CD, as on this CD the track fades in earlier and fades out later than the 45.

i am attempting to make the 45 from the "The Complete Ella In Berlin CD"
CD, however I can not. The actual song timing is difficult to determine, as
the end note keeps on going. Also, does the 45 fade in and/or out? At what
point of the prior song does "Mack" start? A dub of the 45 would be most
welcome, Paul! thanks.

david.....i will send you an mp3 of the vinyl 45
now.....lmk if it can be re-created.....
