This may be considered minutia to some, but that's never stopped me before... :-)
Regarding the hit original mix of Carpenters' "Hurting Each Other", I've noticed that Karen Carpenter can be heard taking a breath prior to the start of the song on the following CDs: Yesterday Once More (A&M 6601) The Singles 1969-1973 (remastered edition) (A&M 828393601) However, I have other CDs listed below where there is no opening breath and thus the song instead immediately begins with Karen singing the opening verse: "no one in the world ever had a love as sweet as my love": A Song for You (remastered edition) (A&M 828393511) The Ultimate Collection (Holland import) (Universal 983584) So my question is, does the breath appear at the very beginning of the commercial 45 and/or the vinyl LP release? |

it's this sort of minutia that i cherish about this board and the group we
have. Great observation, Todd. I too await a response from someone who can listen to both the 45 and LP for us. ------------- dc1 |

Hey guys:
I do NOT hear the breath at the beginning of the 45 (A&M 1322), but I do hear it at the beginning of the "Classics, Vol. 2" cd. I should note that I do have some surface noise at the beginning of my 45; but with headphones and the volume turned up very loud, I still can't hear a breath. It's very obvious on the cd, though.

| Edit the breath out and you have the 45 version? |

Yes, the breath is very noticeable on the CD, so unless one is listening to a rather dirty and dusty 45 the breath should be audible on the 45 if its on there. It'll be interesting to find out if the breath is on the A Song for You vinyl LP. As I reported previously, it does not appear on the remastered CD version of that album. |
