Is the Backless album (LP/CD) the only place (besides the RSO 45) to find the song "Watch Out For Lucy" by Clapton and his band? Even though this b-side barely reached the Billboard top 40 in 1979 it failed to reach the top 40 on Cash Box and Record World so it's not listed in the database. ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

| As far as I know, the Backless CD is the only CD on which the song has been issued. The 45 version cannot be recreated from the album version. On the album version, there is a countoff that overlaps the instrumental intro. The countoff was mixed out of the 45 version. |

I searched too and thanks for the info. Surprised the 45 version is not on CD. ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

Can the 45 intro be edited on to the CD version and edited to
match the 45? ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

I wondered that as well. Maybe Aaron can shed some light on this! ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

Well, technically, no. The 45 is a unique mix from start to finish, but the only differences I can detect are that the harmonica and female background vocalist are both a tad bit lower in the mix. The two mixes are very, very close, though. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

I know I heard a pristine 45 dub from Mark Matthews. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |
