Journey - Wheel In The Sky (non top 40)

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

   I recently acquired a promo 45 of "Wheel In The Sky," and I was surprised that the soft intro is removed on both the mono and stereo sides.  I presume the stock copy is the same way, as both have the same printed 3:31 time and state "Intro. :14" on the label.  Actual run time of the mono side is 3:34.

In addition to the intro being trimmed (starts on the first loud guitar strum and drum/cymbal crash), one of the last choruses is also removed.  To make the second edit, remove the section between 2:59 and 3:21 of the LP version, cutting on the downbeat at the word "wheel."

	Over time, this song has become much more popular than when released. Had it made the Top 40, would we have a 45 vs LP version scenario?

	Without having a stock copy, I cannot say with 100% certainty, but the label matrix of the stock 45 matches the label of the promo (ZSS 164201). Assuming they are the same, "Wheel In The Sky" definitely has a 45 version.

	I looked over at 45cat. The stock 45 label has a listed time of 3:31 and an intro time of :14 listed so it looks like it must be the same as the promo.

	Making the edit between 2:59 and 3:21 first, then chopping off the soft intro, my recreation runs 3:34. Thanks for the tip about this, Aaron!
