hello all friends, I would like to ask if someone can
comment on the differences the single of Dream Academy - "Life in a Northern Town" between the album version and the 7'' mix, I have both versions and I don't hear the differences. According to discogs the estimated time of the album version is 4:16 (cd), while the 7'' mix runs at 4:16. Thank you ------------- Marcelo - Argentina https://www.mixcloud.com/marcelo-guzman4/ - https://www.discogs.com/user/kaqueno/collection |

The notation I have on the song in my library is that the LP
and 45 version are the same. Unless there was a different pressing of the 45 with a different mix. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

They are the same. I have the US 7" and three CDs with the song.
The 7" and the CDs play at the same speed (within 0.1%) and fade out at the same spot. The only differences are in where the fade-in starts (up to 1.4 seconds get shaved off) and how much dynamic range compression was used during mastering. • US 7" (DR 11, :07.6 intro, 4:15.0 total) • Like Omigod! box (DR 7, :07.7 intro, 4:16.3 total, best EQ) • On the Edge 2xCD (DR 10, :06.3 intro, 4:14.7 total) • Rock the First vol. 5 (DR 12, :06.9 intro, 4:15.9 total) It's kind of a toss-up. |
