The vinyl LP releases of Chronicles have the 4:07
version of "While You See a Chance" (the full 5:10
version is included on the CD and cassette releases of
this compilation).

There is another thread regarding this song:

Mind you you can recreate that edit pretty easily. In fact, if you end up making a crappy sounding edit - that means you did it correctly :)

Yeah, I vote that as the "worst edit of all time".

kills the song.

I dunno - that Aerosmith "Dream On" edit (more the execution of it) is pretty hideous. You gotta love the entry into the second verse. Yikes!

But you're right that Island Records should bury it's head in shame over the Winwood 45-rpm disc.

To Jody:

There is no excuse for the sound of
the edit of "Dream On"; it's a remix
from the multitracks!

I'm actually wondering if a talented
remix engineer did the new mix
including adding new background vox,
but then a different (hack) person
chopped it up to make the chorus hook
come in quicker to appease radio.

I grew up with that Winwood 45 edit. I find it oddly endearing and actually look forward to hearing it every time!

See it's funny you say that, because to me, it's still the official hit version. That's what I heard in March of 1981. As bad as the edit is, that's what WAS on the radio. So I more or less agree with you Paul.

As if to add insult to injury, most (all?) of the 45 edits on CD sound muddy and distorted.

The 45 edit first appeared on CD on Time-Life's Sounds Of The Eighties Vol. 18 The Early '80s Take Two (1996), where it runs 4:05. Compared to the CD versions of the LP version, this 45 version sounds pretty bad. There's a differently-EQ'd digital clone on Time-Life's Classic Soft Rock Vol. 3 Into The Night (2006).

The version on Island's Revolutions The Very Best Of Steve Winwood runs 4:08, and is almost certainly a different analog transfer than the Time-Life version. I don't have this disc, though, and can't comment on sound quality.

In my own library, I recreated the 45 edit, since it's just one edit (and no early fade). If you start with the version on The Finer Things box set (1995), just remove 2.21.3-3.26.5, with the edit falling exactly on a downbeat. It would be great spot for an edit, except for the ayyy-eeee thing.
There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.
