| Database CD times for Leo Sayer's "When I Need You" range from 4:06 to 4:12. Perhaps someone with the 45 and LP vinyl copies can verify the run time for each. |

Just FYI--in response to a query I had posted almost two years ago about this tune (my goodness, I've been here that long? :) ), according to Andy Chouffi some early commercial pressings and all promo copies of the vinyl LP have a version without the saxophone solo. Don't know if there was any time differential involved, though. ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

| Doug, thanks for reminding me. I had completely forgotten about that thread, and for some reason, a search wasn't pulling it up. I did finally track down the thread on the board, but not comments were ever added to the database. I hope Pat adds that info, because I think it is important to note. |

For those of you who have never heard the alternate
version of "When I Need You", its on today's American Top 40 replay on Sirius/XM. I don't ever remember hearing it. The replay airs at midnight eastern. ------------- the way it was heard on the radio |

I remember hearing the alternate version on the radio quite often back in 1977 here in Ontario, Canada. When I bought the single, I then heard the more common sax version. ------------- dc1 |

Jim reports he has a different commercial 45 pressing than Ed. There is no printed run time on the record label of Jim's copy, but the actual time is 4:10. As Aaron pointed out earlier, the song's database CD times run from 4:05-4:12. |

Is it safe to say that every CD release of "When I Need You" includes the sax solo (database says it has yet to appear without the sax on a domestic release)? ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

Doesn't the "Endless Flight" CD have the sax-free version?

Hi People,
Could anyone that has a copy of the non-Bobby Keys sax version handy to check around the 3:38 mark to see if there's that lone fingersnap? I haven't heard the non-sax version in a while, but I seem to remember the lack of the one fingersnap on that version. Andy |

The non Sax version has no fingersnap. My copy is on an old Peters Productions automation reel. ------------- I turn up the good and turn down the bad! |

Just found the LP version without the sax solo on an import CD. It's a 1996 UK release called Love Songs (total of 18 tracks on the Music Club label: MCCD 273). ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |
