I only own promo 45s for this song. For both its mono and stereo sides, however, it has a listed time of (3:36), but an actual time of (3:47). All database CDs state "minor tape splice glitch at :26". FYI, there was no such problem heard at the :26 mark, on either side of my promo 45.

That's because the glitch never existed on the single masters (I knew it didn't exist on the commercial 45, but you've now indicated it doesn't exist on the promo 45 either.) The glitch exists on the original LP master. And every CD has always used the album master instead of the single master (even though they're identical except for the glitch.)

Given that the 45 and LP version of "Don't Cry Out Loud" are identical, I wonder why a tape splice glitch would even exist on the LP master in the first place?

Is it a tape dropout at :26 in?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when an LP master is made (at least in the old days), don't the engineers essentially make a compilation of all the other "single" master tapes? That would mean the song would be transferred from it's original master tape to the LP master, which is probably where the glitch occured. |

Exactly. At least that's my guess. There must have been dirt or a defect on the album master tape at 26 seconds into "DCOL".

To add to Jim’s initial comments regarding Melissa Manchester’s “Don’t Cry out Loud”, he informs me the actual commercial 45 run time is 3:47, not 3:36 as stated on the record label. The database currently notes only the DJ 45 times for this song, though it is identical to the commercial 45 timing info.

Does anyone know if an import CD (or for that matter, a more recent US CD) contains "Don't Cry Out Loud" WITHOUT the weird dropout glitch at 0:26? (This could easily be the case if anyone's used a single master - or maybe a foreign 2nd generation master).

This might be slightly off topic, but I've been wondering... If an LP master is made up of a compilation of "single" master tapes, then the finished LP master would be considered a second generation tape source, right? So does this mean then that the sound quality of an LP master is inherently inferior to a "single" master?

From a 2005 post from EdisonLite from a different thread:
I struggled with this for a few minutes until I realized I had the "mono" button pushed on my receiver. It sounds perfectly normal when you sum left and right channels, but it's plain as day in headphones. Edited by crapfromthepast |

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.
