   To Hykker:

"Son Of My Father" was issues overseas as by 'Chicory Tip' (the band's "real" name).

It was issued in the US as by 'Chicory'.

	No wonder there was so much confusion. By the following year, Epic had begun to issue singles under the full Chicory Tip group name.

	Jim, I'm glad you brought up Mr. Big's "Romeo". That's a favorite song of mine, and I heard it quite a bit on Boston radio back in the day - the same station that played "Highfly". I remember when the "To Be With You" Mr. Big came out, I wondered if it was the same UK band, but quickly learned it was different. Jim, that UK "One Hit Wonders" CD you just bought sounds very interesting! And (I know this is off topic but ...) speaking of UK one-hit wonders, does anyone know if Co-Co's "Bad Old Days" (#13 UK) has ever been released on CD from MASTER TAPE? I have it on one UK CD - a Eurovision compilation CD - but they clearly just took it off vinyl. Edited by EdisonLite

	I just got in a promo 45 for "Dancing In The City." As mentioned in the database, it runs 3:28. Easily recreatable using the 3:48 version. Keep 00:00-02:28.839 (before the handclap) Remove 02:28.839-2:47.632 (before the handclap) Keep 2:47.632 to the end. Depending on how long your source file is, it will run close to the 3:28 DJ 45 time. Edited by eriejwg

	I've just performed my own edit of this track using the edit points listed above. The results don't sound good to my ears. After performing the edit, there's a sustained synth note that starts abruptly at the edit point. Does it sound this way on the promo 45?

	Someone kindly forwarded me a dub of the promo 45. It sounds smooth in comparison so I have obviously messed up somewhere. Time to have another go, this time using the 45 dub as a template.

	That was early in my days of recreating promo/commercial 45 edits. It's possible the times listed are a bit incorrect. Glad you have a source file to work with as it makes the edit process much easier.

	If anyone's still looking for the 3:48-ish version on a compilation CD, it's available on these: EMI UK's Time To Remember 1978 (1996) Disky UK's The Beat Goes On Vol. 7 (1997; seems to be part of a 10-CD set, with each disc being sold separately?) EMI Australia's 5-CD Seventies Complete Vol. 1 (1997) BR Music Holland's 3-CD One Hit Wonders (1999) Disky UK's 8-CD Wow That Was The 70's (1999; compressed and clips a lot) Disky UK's 8-CD Greatest Hits Of The '70s (2000; fades a little early, compressed and clips a lot) I don't have any further details in my notes regarding sound quality. If I had to generalize, I'd say that the 1997 Disky disc probably sounds great (EMI Europe released a boatload of compilations under the Disky imprint), the BR Music probably sounds great (they've put out a few terrific collections for rounding up obscure European hits), and the EMI Australia disc probably sounds just OK (they seem to use higher-generation source tapes). If I ever finish up my work on the 1979 tracks, I can revisit this. Edited by crapfromthepast
