45 version (UA X1330-Y) listed in the db as "45 length" has a vocal overdub at 1:04 and 1:06 that does not appear on the original LP version (UA 974) listed in the db as "LP length"... i think there should be a "45 version" and "LP version" distinction between the two...

I don't have a commercial 45 copy of the Dirt Band's "American Dream", but it sounds like you've made a very astute catch! Could you describe these vocal overdubs that are exclusive to the 45?

linda ronstadt, who does background vocals, provides an "ooh" and an "ahh" between the line "your voice it tickles down..." i re-timed the 45, and it's more like at :59 and 1:00..

Then the "45 length" version on Rock On 1979 is the correct 45 version (the overdubs are there, although they're a little soft). It's not the LP version faded early.

my commercial 45 issued as united artist 1330 lists a run
time of 3:30 but actually only runs 3:28.....if you fade
the below cd version for 0:10 from 3:18 to 3:28 you'll
effectively re-create the true vinyl 45 version....this
vinyl 45 run time info s/b added to the db
(S) (3:32) &nb sp; Rhino 71890 Radio Daze: Pop Hits Of The
80's Volume One (45 version)

I feel that there are two different pressings of "An American Dream" vinyl LP. The actual running time is (3:33), while the listed time is "3:53" on the LP record label (United Artists UA-LA974-H U (US pressing) : runout groove matrix number "uA-LA-974-1-RE-1 x). My LP contains the Linda's voice "ooh" and "ahh" at 1:01. My commercial 45 (My 45's actual running time is (3:29)) is an early fade of the LP.
However, my Japan LP contains the (3:48) version, which doesn't have Linda's voice "ooh" and "ahh". It seems that the Japan LP is identical to jrjr's LP. As the result, there are 2 different pressings in "An American Dream" vinyl LP.
