Our commercial copy of "Hungry For Love" by San Remo Golden Strings (Ric-Tic 108) states a time of (2:19), but actually runs (2:43).

Thanks for helping uncover some very significant actual vs. printed 45 run times, Paul!

"Hungry For Love" by San Remo Golden Strings
Anybody know the story with this song? The 45 runs 2:43 as confirmed by Paul Haney and this youtube clip: "Hungry For Love" by San Remo Golden Strings [Single Version"> The only db entry for the song-- a CD called "More Instrumental Gems Of The 60's" has a run time of 2:57. Does anybody know why there is a discrepancy? Was there a longer LP version? I've never listened to "More Instrumental Gems Of The 60's" but I do note that iTunes has three different selections for this song, each of which runs closer to the 2:57 timing from "More Instrumental Gems Of The 60's" than the 2:43 from the 45. I pulled the 2:59 version from the iTunes digital album "Lost Soul Treasures Volume 1" and I'm pretty sure that this can be faded to match the 45--- I took it note by note against the 45 and it matches. It just runs about 15 seconds longer. I have no idea whether the 2:57 version on "More Instrumental Gems Of The 60's" is the same as the 2:59 version on "Lost Soul Treasures Volume 1," but if it is, the version on "More Instrumental Gems Of The 60's" can be faded to match the 45. Either way, I think perhaps the CD "More Instrumental Gems Of The 60's" should have a notation that it is an LP Version or Length (if that is true) or that it runs about 15 seconds longer than the 45.

Like Paul Haney's copy, my U.S. commercial 45 states the run time as (2:19) but, unlike his copy, mine runs (2:57), as it does on the More Instrumental Gems Of The 60s CD.
To my ears, what sounds like a tambourine is heard earlier on the 45 than on the CD. After the bass intro, on the 45 the tambourine sound is heard starting with the very first 'beat', but on the CD it isn't heard until the second beat. It's too bad this song was not included as part of the Motown Complete Singles releases. Motown purchased the Ric-Tic label not long after this song was a hit. They then issued the Hungry For Love LP on their Gordy label, but I can find no evidence they kept the 45 in print. |

My copy of the "Hungry For Love" vinyl LP is on the Gordy label and yes there is a difference between the 45 and LP version of "Hungry For Love". What I hear on the only cd that contains this song, "More Instrumental Gems Of The 60s" is a remix that is neither the 45 nor LP version.

Hmmmmm.... interesting. So, is the 2:43 45 version just an early fade of the 2:57 45 version?
Has anybody listened to any of the versions that appear on iTunes? As I mentioned above, the 2:59 version on "Lost Soul Treasures Volume 1" sounds to me to be a longer version of the 2:43 45 version. Am I missing a mix difference? Edited by JL328 |
