| My commercial 45, which is mono, has a listed time of (2:48) and an actual time of (2:47). I only post this information because all 26 current CD listings for this song in the database show timings between (3:07) and (3:09). |

my commercial 45 for the al green song 'livin' for you'
issued as hi 2257 lists the run time on the label as 3:09 and does indeed run that length and is identical to the 3:09 version from the right stuff 'greatest hits' cd...this differs from what jim report on his vinyl 45.....my run out groove etching has 'HI 2791 X'...looks as if there are two pressings of this vinyl 45.....this info s/b added to the db...doubling up this post ------------- edtop40 |

Ed, I just pulled out the commercial 45 I based my original post on. My
deadwax info for it is a handwritten "HI-2791-EV 11-9-73". I also own a mono/promo DJ 45 for this song. The deadwax info on the mono side of my promo exactly matches what is on my mono, commercial 45. (The stereo side deadwax is the same, except for a "Z" before the initial "HI".) Ed, I have also noticed that, on the actual label for both these 45s, under the 45-2257-E, and the Copyright 1973 Hi Recording Corp., it says "HI- 2791-EV" on it, which also matches my deadwax info. Since you say your 45's deadwax ends with a "X", and neither my stock nor promo 45 does, does your 45 label state something like "HI-2791-X" on it? In any case, your copy would appear to be the rarer of the two pressings, based on the consistency of my stock/promo deadwax info. |

jim,
on the right side middle of the label it only says '45-2257 then a P in a circle then 1973 Hi Recording Corp., then under that is says (Recorded in Memphis)....it does say on the left side middle 'time 3:09 Hi 2791'....no sighting of any 'E' or 'EV' on my label...and no 'X' listed on the label either... ------------- edtop40 |

The shorter length of this song does appear on CD on the Hi Records Singles Collection. It's a three disc set of all of the a & b-sides of Al's '70s singles released on the Hi label. This US release is on the Fat Possum Records label. ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

| Santi are you sure this is a U.S. CD release? If so what is the catalog number as all I can find on the internet is a U.K. pressing of this cd. |

| From what I've read, the recent "Hi Records Singles Collection" release doesn't use correct single mixes across the set, only for a few tracks. Is this correct? |

A handful of folks on the Hoffman forum were praising this release for great
sound quality. It was dirt cheap, so I picked it up for $13.50, which included shipping from the UK. The 3-disc set does not look like an import, and the address for Fat Possum Records is in Mississippi. Reissue Producer: Bruce Watson Original Master Tape Transfer by Scott Bomar At Electraphonic Recording, Memphis, TN * Mastered By Clay Jones At Pete's Room, Oxford, MS Amazon does not list it as an import, either. Strangely, though, I couldn't find any US sellers offering it for sale in December when I ordered it. Even weirder, the Fat Possum Records website has absolutely no mention of this release at all. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

FPH16103 is the catalog number (the entire barcode reads: 7 67981 16103 7). The address is a P.O. Box in Mississippi as Aaron stated above. ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

Pat, if you decide this qualifies as a domestic release, I am more than happy to post the run times, (M) or (S), and versions of the top 40 hits. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |
