I'm new to this forum so please excuse me if this is already somewhere in
the data base. Does anybody know if there is a single edit of "Sweet Lui- Louise. My LP says 3:11 and clocks in at 3:11. I believe this is also on the"Heard It On The Radio Vol 2" CD. Always loved this song. Thanks |

Welcome to the board, radiodude! My mono/stereo DJ 45 of "Sweet Lui-Louise" has a printed time of 3:12 on both sides.
The #89 follow-up single, "What's Your Hurry Darlin'," wasn't nearly as successful as its predecessor. Whereas "Sweet Lui" reminded me of "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet," "WYHD" traced its roots back to "Let It Ride." The "WYHD" stereo/stereo DJ 45 had the commercial 45-length 4:28 version on one side, http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh240/YahShure/Ironhorse-WhatsYourHurryDarlinDJsho.jpg - and a promo-only 3:30 short version on the flip. |

Thanks for the info, Yah Shure. I don't think I have heard "What's Your Hurry
Darlin". I guess I'll have to track that one down. |

| Radiodude, the 4:28-length "What's Your Hurry Darlin'" is the second cut on side one of the second Ironhorse LP, Everything Is Grey. The track was co-written by Randy Bachman and the Beach Boys' Carl Wilson. |

Yah Sure, must have been some song trading between Randy Bachman and
The Beach Boys about that time. I think there is a track on the Beach Boys "Light Album" written by Randy Bachman. I think it might be "Keeping The Summer Alive" but I'm not 100% sure. |

| I believe that http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh240/YahShure/BeachBoys-LivinWithAHeartache.jpg - "Livin' With A Heartache" is the Carl Wilson-Randy Bachman collaboration you had in mind. The 1980 single didn't chart at all. |

| Was the year on the Iron Horse track "Sweet Lui-Louise" 1978 or 1979? The title seems to shake some degree of familiarity from that time period. |

Yah Sure, Yip you're right I knew it was somewhere around that period.
"eriejwg" The song peaked in March of 1979 at #36. |

Heard It On The Radio disc that has the 3:11 version of this song? This song is not in the database thanks to it's low chart average. ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

The Heard It On The Radio, Vol. 2 is on Rhapsody and
iTunes. The Ironhorse track runs 3:11. The quality sounds alright to me. |

I have this song on CD-R already where it doesn't sound bad
just don't remember where it came from (been a decade since I got it). Thanks. ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

Not sure if it's a tape transfer on that CD or all of them
are from cleaned vinyl. Seems a little heavy on the NR on the Silver Condor track. |

a friend of mine was friends with, and worked extensively
with the (late) owner of Renaissance, who first issued this series. since his passing, the label was dissolved and another corp. has renewed the licensing for the series. From what i understand, i'd estimate about 10-15% of the tracks in the series are sourced from vinyl. Main reason for this was ownership of the music changed hands but tapes did not (all too common a story.) To me tho, I'd rate the overall sound of the series as "very good", considering. MM |
