Has anyone picked up this CD yet? I checked iTunes, and both "Just Like A
Woman" and "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" look like the LP versions (in
mono). Looks like we'll need to edit them to make the original 45s! Anyone
have dubs and I can tackle the job...

Yeah, I bought it. I was just about to ask someone to send me MP3s of those two disc dubs. Just don't try to do an early fade to "clean it up" -- I need the whole thing on each song.

we think alike, Brian ;)

I hope someone can send the disc dubs. I am in Thailand, and haven't yet
seen the CD in a store here.

Interesting, the price for the physical CD on amazon is LESS than buying the
thing from iTunes...what does THAT tell us?

For the 45 version of "Rainy Day Women...":
--edit from 1:36 to 2:36.2, between the beats. This makes the line "Yes,
they'll stone you when/say that it's the end." Dylan sings "when" and "and"
pretty much the same, so it sounds better than it reads.
--after that edit, edit from 2:30.1 to the end of the track.
--fade from 2:15 to the end.
--speed up 3%, to wind up with the song at 2:25.8.

I saw that before, but the video cuts off just a hair before the end of the fade.

Thanks, but I don't do that. I'm a perfectionist... there's no way to tell if you've got it exactly right unless you've got the original vinyl as an audio reference. That would get it "about right," but not flawless.

on this cd, the song 'subterranean homesick blues' need to
be clipped just a hair, at the beginning to exactly match
the vinyl 45....the vinyl 45 lists a run time of 2:17 but
actully runs 2:15

the song 'like a rolling stone' runs a little fast (5:57)
on this cd versus the vinyl 45 (6:00).....you'll need to
pitch it down to match the vinyl 45...

the song 'positively 4th st' lists a run time on the 45
label as 3:50 and does indeed run that length and matches
the cd perfectly....the actual cd run time is 3:50 and NOT
3:52.....

the song 'i want you' lists a run time on the 45 label as
2:57 but runs 3:00 and matches this cd perfectly....

LOL! So someone else noticed that odd "stone you when/say that it's the end" glitch...yes, someone at Columbia back in 65-66 must have edited wrong...I'd been long listening to that single for years ever wondering if someone else was gonna notice it.

You know you're really older when you think that younger singer Jesse McCartney's related in anyway to former Beatle Paul McCartney.

I don't know if they edited it wrong, per se. If you listen to the LP version, the "stone you when/say that it's the end" is there too--it's just a different vocal that leads into the "say that it's the end" on each of the two versions.
