I have a couple of questions regarding John Lennon and Plastic Ono Band's "Give Peace a Chance". The database shows the song on most CDs with the comment: (with countdown). Can this be taken to mean that the countdown was not included on vinyl 45 and LP pressings?

Also, does anyone recall if a shorter DJ edit or length of "Give Peace a Chance" was ever issued to Top 40 radio? Given that radio stations in the '60s seldom programmed songs running longer than 3:00, it seems unlikely to me that stations would've played the full 4:50 version... especially given how repetitive this particular song is!

The US commercial 45 does NOT contain the countdown.

As far as I know, there was no shorter version for radio.

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe the hit version of "Give Peace A Chance" appeared on a vinyl LP until 1975 with the release of the "Shaved Fish" LP. The single was recorded live in Montreal but the LP "Live Peace In Toronto" obviously contained a different version of the song so I don't believe that I can say there ever was an LP version of "Give Peace A Chance".

Thanks for the info, guys. So is it safe to assume then that no shortened DJ edit was ever issued either for the Plastic Ono Band's follow-up Top 40 hit "Cold Turkey", which runs approximately 5:00 on all CD copies to date?

There was no DJ edit released for "Cold Turkey".

My Apple 45 matches the fade found on "The John Lennon
Collection" EMI CD but the opening count-in is excised so
that the song starts right on the down-beat. Run time is
about 4:46 or so.

Does anyone know if the UK 45 contained the count-in? If it doesn't, then I'd
be curious as to when it first appeared... I had the "Shaved Fish" LP back in
the 70s, and of course was upset that the song was not in full, and I don't
recall the count-in being on that.

I don't believe there were any designated promo copies for Apple singles prior to 1970 or so.

I guess the statute of limitations is up by now, so it's safe to admit that I "might" have faded it a bit early once or twice. For
backtiming purposes only, you understand. :)
