The LP version of "Love Theme From Eyes Of Laura Mars (Prisoner) runs 3:53 on Greatest Hits Vol. 2.
The 45 runs 3:37, give or take a second or two. To recreate the 45 edit, cut off the first 16 seconds of the LP version and start on the word "I've". ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

This is indeed news, as the database does not indicate a LP version for
the lone CD appearance of the song. Also, the 45 label timing is 3:54. ------------- dc1 |

Had a quick question. Does the intro on the 45 also have
the tail end of the piano note right before she starts singing at :16 in? |

No 100% sure; the needledrop cuts off the very, very
beginning. I'd assumed that it starts on the vocals. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

| This is odd as my commercial 45 runs (3:53) with matrix number 164353-1A. Are there dj copies that are shorter? |

You read my mind. I don't know a lot of things about Barbra Streisand, but I do get the sense that she's someone who would never release a single with as clunky an opening as that is with the piano note overlapping (not a commentary on Ron's editing). The 45 is not on YouTube, so we can't check that. But if I were to bet, either the 45 opening was resung, or they used a track without the piano overlapping. ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

Hold the phone!
Apparently, the needledrop on my hard drive was in error. So, everything I posted above is incorrect. The 45 and the LP versions are the same. Please accept my apologies in red and size=6... ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |

My promo copy has a matrix # of 164353-1C on the stereo side and 164353-1D on the mono side. Time on the stereo side is 3:54 listed, 3:52 actual. I did not time the mono side. It was implied that the single has a cold intro...intro on my copy is :16. |

Sorry, Hykker. Everything runs around 3:52, both the LP and 45.
The single needledrop that I had was erroneous. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |
