| Unfortunately, the "45 version but longer" CDs with "Galaxy" by War are actually "neither." When comparing the 45 version with Best Of War and More, the CD has an extra 0:08 from 3:30 to 3:38 that is removed on the 45. There is another extra 0:16 from 4:04 to 4:20 on the CD that is not present on the 45. |

so, can the 45 version be extracted from the full length cd/lp version? ------------- edtop40 |

| Yes, it can be extracted from the version on Best Of War and More if you edit out the sections mentioned above and fade just a few seconds earlier. |

i just created the proper vinyl 45 version using the
instructions aaron provided....the final version runs 4:14 and matches the vinyl 45 length even though the label states the time as 4:18, it actually runs 4:14.....if anyone would like a copy of my handiwork, send me and email or pm.... ------------- edtop40 |

At long last, I have acquired a promo 45 for this song. And it seems to answer the question of exactly where the (4:04) version of this song came from. Both sides of my mono/stereo promo 45, confirmed as MCA 40820, have a listed time of (3:59), but an actual time of (4:04). Deadwax info: mono side "MC 6909-M-CS-2"; stereo side "MC 6909 CS-2". |

Jim,
Just curious...Ed mentions that his commercial 45 runs 4:14 yet your promo 45 runs 4:04. Just wondering what the 10 second difference is. |

John, I can't speak to what Ed's 45 version sounds like. Aaron already has a
dub of my stock 45 "on file". My copy runs (4:17), however, not Ed's (4:14). But rest assured, my friend, whenever we discover new stock/promo 45 info, we basically go into "investigative mode" automatically, at this point. Especially now, that so many song/version cases have already been solved. A dub of Ed's copy can quickly be gotten, if it turns out that Ed has "the only known (4:14) length Galaxy stock 45 in history!!!!" :) I promise there will be a follow-up post for you, as soon as time allows. |

This is an excellent discovery, Jim! Currently, there is no information in the database about a 3:59 (actual 4:04) promo version, nor has this short edit shown up on any database CDs. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

i just re-timed my commercial 45 and it's condition is less
than great.....and, to my ears it runs 4:14.....it's entirely possible the faded in intro and outro are drowned out by the surface noise of the vinyl.....so my times are probably not the most accurate... ------------- edtop40 |

Thanks for the (4:14) explanation, Ed.
I know exactly what you mean, about extremely loud surface noise issues. Every one of the very few bad timings I've ever submitted (most notably my (2:55) submission for "Brown Eyed Girl") came because my *only* actual 1967 copy sounded like a frying pan with six slices of raw bacon just placed inside of it - especially at the end. Even mega-sticklers like us have no chance to hear through all that, without software to help, when such sub- standard vinyl is used by a label to press up their stock 45s..... |
