I only have the LP version of this song, which is about 9 seconds longer than the 45. I edited out the 9 seconds of footsteps at the beginning and have something that matches the timing of the single version. Is this the single version, or were there mix differences, or was a different 9 seconds edited out?

The version I have is from Sound Of The Seventies - 1976: Take Two and is listed as a 45 version in the database. No footsteps at the beginning at starts with music. Run time is 3:56.

Ok, then that narrows down the possiblities to two.
Does anyone know if the track itself was remixed? |

Just got in a promo 45 for this song. In doing some comparisons, I noticed that there are 4 footsteps on the short side of the promo before the car door opens. Then, in comparing it to a digital copy of the LP version, which also has footsteps, on the promo 45, the footsteps sound like they're running to the vehicle. On the LP version, the footsteps sound like they're walking slowly to the vehicle before opening the door.
The 2 are identical afterwards up to 2:58 or so, where the promo begins the fade on the "ohhh..." and is completely gone after the words "...drug for me." Only way to recreate the short version is paste the footsteps in from the promo to a digital copy and fade in the same spot as mentioned above. Edited by eriejwg |

The actual run time of the short version on the promo 45 is 3:03.

For those of you that own the original vinyl LP that this song is on, what's type of footsteps are on the LP? Running or walking?
Wow, it comes down to this sometimes, LOL. |

If my research is correct, "Love Is the Drug" appeared on Roxy Music's 1975 vinyl LP Siren on the Atco label. Hopefully, someone can take the baton from here and determine what kind of footprints are on the vinyl LP.
Nice investigative work so far, John! |

If I take the 3:56 single version on CD and fade to 3:03, will I have the dj version with the exception of the wrong footsteps? I'm not so particular that I care if the footsteps are running or walking, but I basically want a 3:03 version that's close to the dj 3:03 version. So other than the wrong footsteps, will there be anything else wrong with the version I create (like, is there an edit I don't know about)?

I'm a little bit confused about this one:
The database states that the correct 45 version is the version that appears on Sound Of The Seventies - 1976: Take Two. It begins with a brief guitar sound followed by some bass notes. While I was on vacation, I picked up what I think is a US commercial 45 (on the yellow and white ATCO label). The 45 begins with the sound of a car door opening, immediately before the guitar and bass kick in. The label on my 45 is identical to this one. Any thoughts? |

my commercial 45 starts with the car door opening as
well and runs 3:56 even though the label lists the run time as 3:58.... Edited by edtop40 |
