This song hit #7 in 1978? You'd never know it by listening to the radio in 1979 - this one never made into any radio station's gold library, as far as I know.
The LP version runs 3:36 on Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 35 AM Nuggets (1993). Based on the timing, and the tendency for the Time-Life discs to rely on earlier masterings, I'd bet that this version is based on Curb's Shaun Cassidy Greatest Hits, but can't confirm. There's a different analog transfer on Rhino's Have A Nice Day Vol. 24 (1996), which runs a teeny bit faster and clocks in at 3:34. Both of these versions sound OK - nothing great, but not awful. Using Have A Nice Day Vol. 24 as the source for the LP version, here are instructions for creating the 45 edit: Segment 1 Extends from 0:00.0 to 2:39.0 on both the LP version and the 45 edit Ends on a downbeat on the word "love" Remove the 56 beats from 2:39.0 to 3:04.7 of the LP version ("love" to "love"). Segment 2 37 beats long Starts on a downbeat on the word "love" Extends from 3:04.7 to 3:21.7 of the LP version Extends from 2:39.0 to 2:55.9 of the 45 edit Ends on a snare Remove the 16 beats from 3:21.7 to 3:29.0 of the LP version Segment 3 Starts on a snare Extends from 3:29.0 to 3:37.0 (end) of the LP version Extends from 2:55.9 to 3:03.9 (end) of the 45 edit Your mixdown will run 3:00 (excluding outro silence), or 3:03.9 (including outro silence), with edits at 2:39.0 and 2:55.9. The edit near 2:56 falls properly on the beat, but it's pretty clumsy. You'll hear background vocals disappear and an open hi-hat come out of nowhere - that's what really on the 45. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

Sadly, many pop hits from that era (especially the ones you'd find on Rhino's "Super Hits of the '70s: Have a Nice Day" are songs that were not played on the radio even a year later. When you make the comment above about this song, I assume you're making your observations about the region of the country where you lived, though I'm sure it's probably true of the whole country. |

That's my guess. Certainly true for the New York City radio stations, most likely true in other markets. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

Realistically, how many hits by teen heart-throbs made it to
gold rotation? Partridge Family, Bobby Sherman, Leif Garrett, even Shaun's brother David all met the same fate. |

"I Think I Love You" still gets a fair amount of airplay.
As to the subject at hand, is the 45 version of "Hey Deanie" on Then 70s correct? ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

Good question. I'd be happy to evaluate, if someone could send me the Then 70s version. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

Ron, do pretty much all the Time-Life compilations have the L/R channels reversed? Could you start a separate thread to list the
compilations that you know are reversed? |

TM Studios only has "I Think I Love You" as active in their oldies library, no other Partridge Family or David
Cassidy tracks. Not really a surprise, because even when I was first starting on the radio in 1977, we only played Leif Garrett and Shaun Cassidy as currents. No recurrent status. |

If I recall, it was the the single version but taken from vinyl. |

Excellent question about the left/right channel reversal.
Here are discs that I know to be the source of left/right channel reversal for a few tracks: The Hits - REO Speedwagon The Singles Collection - Spandau Ballet the original '80s era "atomic design" Songs From The Big Chair - Tears For Fears Greatest Hits 1979-1990 - Dionne Warwick Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 1 1969 (1991) Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 3 1973 (1992) Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 6 1971 (1991) Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 7 1972 (1991) Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 13 The Early '70s (1992) Time-Life's 2-CD Guitar Rock (1990) Time-Life's 2-CD Guitar Rock Monsters (1992) Time-Life's Guitar Rock Vol. 3 1976-1977 (1993) Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 31 AM Top Twenty (1993) Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 34 Late '70s (1993) Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 35 AM Nuggets (1993) I didn't see L/R reversal for Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 32 AM Pop Classics (1993) or Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 33 AM Pop Classics II (1993). I've only spot-checked the Time-Life discs for songs older than about 1975, so there may be others. I'd keep an eye on others in the AM Gold series. I haven't checked any of the Time-Life '50s or '60s-era music sets in detail, either. Time-Life brought in Dennis Drake to do a lot of their mastering work in 1995, and he's one of the very best mastering engineers out there. He mastered T-L discs from 1995-2002, and I don't know of any instances where his discs are the source of L/R reversal. (There are probably instances when a track on one of his discs is a clone of a L/R-reversed song from an earlier disc.) This list isn't complete, by any means, but should give you red flags for particular problem discs. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

Then it most likely was correct, if they went to the trouble of using a vinyl single to master it from. ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |
