"Ticket to Ride" - The Beatles

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   According to my good friend Jim, the commercial 45 run time for The Beatles' "Ticket to Ride" is 3:04 (the printed 45 label time is 3:02), which is in the ballpark of the database CD entries containing the mono hit version running 3:01-3:03.  However, stereo CD appearances run 3:06-3:08, which I suspect may be reflective of a slightly longer stereo vinyl LP length.  

That said, would anyone who has a Beatles' Help vinyl LP handy please pass along the run time of "Ticket to Ride"?

	My UK Parlophone copy of Help in Stereo runs 3:07 on this track.
	I turn up the good and turn down the bad!

	Thanks, Kent. I believe the U.S. LP release is identical to the U.K. one, but hopefully someone who has a U.S. pressing can chime in and confirm.

	The printed time for the fake-stereo "Ticket To Ride" on my stereo copy of Help! (Capitol SMAS 2386) is (3:03) and the actual time is (3:02.9).

	Thanks, Yah Shure! So it would appear then the U.S. 45 and LP of "Help" are approximately the same length, while the stereo U.K. LP length is several seconds longer.
