First time 45 versions on new domestic CD Printed From: Top 40 Music on CD Category: Top 40 Music On Compact Disc Forum Name: Chat Board Forum Description: Chat away but please observe the chat board rules URL: https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1106 Printed Date: 28 April 2025 at 8:03pm Software Version: Web Wiz Forums 12.07 - https://www.webwizforums.com Topic: First time 45 versions on new domestic CD Posted By: Todd Ireland Subject: First time 45 versions on new domestic CD Date Posted: 03 July 2006 at 8:37am Thought this might be of particular interest to the 45 version collectors... There is a new various artist CD release out now containing several 45 versions and lengths available on a domestic disc for the first time. The CD is called Chart Toppers (70-90) on BMG Music Entertainment Custom Marketing Group 27426 and contains the 45 versions/lengths of Eddie Money's "Walk on Water", Clarence Clemons and Jackson Browne's "You're a Friend of Mine", Scandal featuring Patty Smyth's "The Warrior", and Philip Bailey with Phil Collins' "Easy Lover". I know some of us have already re-created the correct 45 versions of these songs on editing software, but I thought I'd pass this on to folks who don't yet have them. This CD also contains some hard-to-find DJ edits and lengths as well, such as: Jon B. featuring Babyface's "Someone to Love" and Sophie B. Hawkins' "Damn! I Wish I Was Your Lover". It's good to see Sony finally giving some long overdue attention to single and DJ edits! Replies: Posted By: Brian W. Date Posted: 03 July 2006 at 10:42am Great info, Paul! Thanks! Posted By: Todd Ireland Date Posted: 13 July 2006 at 9:31pm Oh, by the way... For anyone looking to seek out a copy of the new Chart Toppers (70-90) CD set described above, make sure the catalog number is 27426! In 2001, Sony issued a very, very similar 3-CD compilation under catalog number 51366 called Chart Toppers that has an almost identical track listing. However, the versions used on that set are the usual LP versions, songs faded early, etc.! If you don't pay attention to the catalog numbers, you might not end up with the versions you want.    Posted By: Grant Date Posted: 13 July 2006 at 11:05pm If i'm not mistaken, the 45 versions of Scandal's "The Warrior" and Philip Bailey's "Easy Lover" are the same as the LP versions. My original Columbia 45s match them. Posted By: Brian W.

My original Columbia 45s match them. I think you are mistaken. Easy Lover fades out earlier than the LP, and I believe The Warrior has an edit within it. Unless this is another case of different 45 pressings having different versions. Posted By: Grant Date Posted: 14 July 2006 at 1:29am I am in the process if reorganizing my stuff, and it'a a royal mess in here, but I know I have the Scandal 45, and may still have that Philip Bailey 45.

Unless this is another case of different 45 pressings having different versions. Brian, you are correct. "Easy Lover" is an early fade, to my knowledge. "The Warrior" has two quick edits within the guitar solo. Posted By: Todd Ireland Date Posted: 15 July 2006 at 1:37pm Aaron and Brian are correct. The "Easy Lover" 45 is an early fade of the LP length. The 45 version of "The Warrior" is an edit of the LP version. Posted By: Brian W. Date Posted: 24 July 2006 at 12:46am If anyone is wondering where to buy this CD set, I got mine at Circuit City (is that a national chain???) for $9.99. It comes in a two-disc digipack, not a jewel case. Posted By: Brian W. Date Posted: 24 July 2006 at 12:49am Grant timed his 45 of "Easy Lover" (posting it in a separate thread) and it is the same running time as all the rest of the 45s. aaronk wrote: Brian, you are correct.

I know, but remember, you'd said earlier in this thread that you thought your 45 of "Easy Lover" was the full-length album version, but the 4:50 running time you posted in the other thread confirms that it's not. I'm just letting everyone know there are not two different pressings of the 45 after all. I'm not dissin' you, Grantie. ;) Posted By: Grant Date Posted: 24 July 2006 at 1:42pm Brian W. wrote: Grant wrote: Hey, I was just pointing out that the time on the label is wrong...

I hadn't listened to the actual 45 since 1985, but I knew it was damn close! I just remembered the previous discuddion, and my comments, and wanted to get it straight. But, I have yet to find my 45 RPM copy of Scandal's "The Warrior" so I can recreate the edits if I don't have them on a CD somewhere.
