Not his greatest recording but still a top 40 hit in late
1979. Does anyone have the actual time for the commercial 45 of "Victim Of Love" and when the fade begins. This song was not on my local radio stations and if it wasn't for AT40 I would have never heard it. Also, was the 12" inch version just the longer LP length (five minutes or so). ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

my commercial 45 issued as mca 41126 states the run time on
the label as 3:19 and does run that length....the fade begins at the 3:09 mark ------------- edtop40 |

Interestingly, my stock 45 of "Victim Of Love" states a run time of 3:18. I timed it as running 3:18 (although it's hard to hear the final fadeout on my copy), but the fade seems to begin at 3:09 like Ed's copy.

For some reason I've always liked this odd record - it's catchy in a weird way to me. Does anyone have a single edit mp3 they could share? This is one of those I've hunted down for years without success. :)
Thanks, Frank |

The upcoming Deluxe Edition of the Elton John "Diamonds"
compilation looks like it MAY have the 45 version of "Victim of Love" on disc three. iTunes lists the run time as 3:22, which is close and could include blank space at the end of the track. But unclear whether this will be the real deal or "a noble attempt at recreating the 45 version." |

Please remind me but the 45 is just an early fade of the longer LP version correct (no edits required)? ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

I think so, but the LP version is segued from the previous track, and it's not quite possible to recreate it perfectly without dubbing in the opening note from the 45. |
