does anyone know if any of the cds with the song "love to love you baby" in it's 45 version contains the intro breath (sigh) or do they all start with the song....the cd "gold" starts with the song immediately, while the 45 issued as oasis 401 contains a breath (sigh) at the beginning..... ------------- edtop40 |

The version on Sounds Of The Seventies - 1976 (Time-Life
SOD-04), from 1989, has the intro breath. |

The Time-Life cd "Ultimate Seventies - 1976" has the breath on the introduction. ------------- Top 40 Music On Compact Disc Moderator |

Just as an aside (not to hijack this thread), aren't the Ultimate Seventies volumes pretty much repackagings of the Sounds of the Seventies initial 1970-1979 volumes? Much like Superhits begat AM Gold, although they added more volumes with AM Gold. ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

| There is an AA side and a BB side of the second commercial pressing. Both were played on radio in 1976, but my local radio played the BB side, so I always thought of it as the single version, which is actually on the original album, but not on any CD as a single. Besides, to me, the BB side sounds like a hit single, not the AA side. |

Grant:
Do you have the "BB side" you're referring to on a commercial CD release? I'm interested to know which version that is. ---------------------------------------------------- Doug: Yes, the Time-Life Ultimate Seventies volumes are straight repackagings of the initial Sounds of the Seventies 1970-1979 volumes. |

A Digital Audio Workstation. A decent wav file editing software will do the trick, such as Adobe Audition. |

Most likely, the reason your station played the BB side is because it's identical to the "reserviced" promo 45, which has an actual run time of 3:24. Also, there's good news for the "not the DJ 45 edit" CDs in the database. Actually, those CDs ARE the DJ 45 edit, but they are the version from the FIRST issued promo 45s. This version has a completely different vocal take on the intro. |

Aaron, does this mean the 3:21 version (on such CD's like Sound Of The Seventies - 1976), missing the overdubs, is actually the original DJ 45 edit?
Bill sent me his mono DJ 45 to listen to and I much prefer the second issue. I ordered a stereo/mono 45 last week, hoping it's the same as the reserviced DJ edit, only in stereo. |

Yes, that's correct. And while I don't have the commercial 45 to compare, based on the above information, the B-side of the commercial 45 is the same as the 2nd promo 45 issue. |

| I just wanted to make sure this didn't get buried with all the loads of new posts. (Nice work, Jim!) I'm sure Pat will want to update the database info to get rid of the "neither" comments. |

| After hearing the 2nd DJ edit from this in mono courtesy of Bill Cahill, decided to order the stock 45. (401-B-RE1), Side BB has the 2nd DJ edit in stereo. Listed time is 3:27, actual is 3:24. I MUCH prefer this version. It has more instrumentation and doesn't sound so 'dry' as the first DJ edit. |

Even side BB of the U.S. Oasis 45 has the breath on the intro. ------------- |

It's in stereo on the DJ 45, too, on the flip side. Bill just must have dubbed the mono side for you. |

the db states the vinyl 45 runs 4:57 but mine runs 4:53, although it states the run time on the label as 4:57....can someone else verify the run time on their vinyl 45 so we can have the db corrected.... ------------- edtop40 |

As indicated above, there are two separate dj 45s, and they have
different mixes. The one with a run time of 3:24 matches the commercial 45's BB side. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

I'm a little confused, and I'd like to sort the releases out in my head before I go much farther.
Please correct any of the following statements if I'm mistaken:

The only thing I can think of to add to this is
somewhat extraneous. The original 45 release wasn't promo only. The stock copy had a b-side "Need-A-Man Blues" |

The LP version runs 16:47. Probably interesting in a club setting, but way too long for normal listening.
The 45 was released twice, both on Oasis 401. First (non-hit) release The first (non-hit) release featured a relatively stripped-down (no pun intended) mix, with a printed time of 3:22 and an actual time of 3:21. This version is actually the first 3:21 of the album version, faded early. The commercial 45 featured the song "Need-A-Man Blues" on the B-side. (Thanks, Chuck!) The promo 45 featured stereo/mono versions of the 3:22 version. This non-hit first 45 version is on Casablanca's 2-CD Donna Summer Anthology (1993), with a differently-EQ'd digital clone on Mercury's Donna Summer Greatest Hits (1998). There's a different analog transfer on UTV's 2-CD Donna Summer Journey The Very Best Of (2003). All three of these sound fine, with decent source tapes, nice dynamic range, a good EQ, and no evidence of noise reduction. All three start with a breath. I believe that this first (non-hit) 45 version is also on Casablanca's Endless Summer, Razor & Tie's The Complete Donna Summer, Mercury's Best Of 20th Century Masters The Millennium Collection, and Mercury's Icon, but I don't have any of those and can't comment on the sound. The first release of the 45 tanked, so Oasis tried again. Second (hit) release The original mix on the first 45 sounds like a demo compared to the second 45. This sounds much more like a hit, with a much busier mix, a little reverb, and that hard-to-describe mid-'70s disco sheen, much like "If I Can't Have You". And what a hit it was, peaking at US#2 in February 1976. The second (hit) release featured "RE-1" prominently written in the matrix number, printed on the label right below the catalog number of Oasis 401. The first (non-hit) release featured no such "RE-1". Side AA of the second (hit) 45 has a printed time of 4:57, and an actual time of 4:53. I don't think the side AA version can be cobbled together from bits of the LP version, but I haven't checked. The side AA 4:57 (hit) version is on Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 4 1976 (1989), with the same analog transfer being used for Warner Special Products' 2-CD Disco Collection (1993). Both sound fine, with decent source tapes, nice dynamic range, a good EQ, and no evidence of noise reduction. Both start with a breath. I believe that the side AA 4:57 (hit) version is also on Hip-O/Mercury's Gold (minus the opening breath), and a few other Time-Life collections. Side BB of the second (hit) 45 has a printed time of 3:27, and an actual time of 3:24. Side BB has basically the same song structure as the first (non-hit) release of the song, but with a much more authoritative mix. It's actually the last 3:48-or-so of the LP version, with the opening breath tacked on and faded early. The non-hit original mix sounds downright anemic compared to this one. The side BB 3:27 version is on Silver Eagle/Warner Special Products' 2-CD Dancin' The Night Away (1988), but it sounds terrible here, with seemingly high-generation source tapes and no high end at all. It, too, starts with a breath. Any needledrop should sound better than what's on Dancin'. The second (hit) RE-1 45s were released as promos (mono on both sides) and commercially (stereo on both sides). ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

Thanks for the detailed rundown of this 45. Maybe one
day Universal will actually release the BB version in digital form, but i'm not holding my breath. ------------- |
