Hi, AndrewChouffi. I don't have the vinyl LP "Romantics", however I have the CD "More Of The Big 80's (Rhino)". I have compared the 45 with the Rhino CD. The commercial 45 speed is unbelievably VERY VERY faster than the CD track. The 45 is never edited down, and doesn't have an overdub. There is the final voice "Hi" at 2:37.541 on the 45.

Just for giggles, I sped up my digital copy of the song. Raising the pitch to 110% to get it to end at 2:39, it almost makes the song sound unlistenable, lol.
I've got to believe there has to be some sort of edit. Either that, or the 45 in question may be a faulty pressing, possibly. |

I finally acquired a stock 45 for this. Abagon's crazy timing is exactly what I
got, too. It is *not* an edit. It is in *full* chipmunk mode, from start to finish. Totally unlistenable. My deadwax is a handwritten "AF-ZS9-7527-3." Does anyone happen to own a promo 45 for this? Unfortunately, it is one of the very few db promo 45s from 1980 that I am missing. They just couldn't have serviced radio with the crazy stock 45 version all of us seem to own! |

That's insane! Why would anyone want to pitch up a song
that already blasts along at 160 BPM? Although, if radio really was serviced a ridiculously pitched-up version of the song, it would explain why this wasn't a hit in 1980. |

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

I do have this one on a promo 45 but it is in storage. It even comes with a promo-only picture sleeve. I've never seen another... unfortunately when i bought mine on ebay the seller shipped the 45 inside the sleeve and it split the bottom side.
I don't remember offhand what it times out to, however, I decided to check out the "chipmunked" track speed off of an mp3 of the 2:56 version sped up to 2:38.... I know with absolute certainty that the promo 45 does NOT sound this fast..... but now I am curious about it and will go to my storage locker tomorrow if I can, to go dig it out. |

Wow, i too just sped it up to match that time .. and holy
crow! I never heard it that way, ever, thankfully. It was huge hit on rock radio so i assume they played it off the album, and the album is what i bought in 1981. (was already a party staple by then.) I have to conclude for myself that this 45 pressing is a critical mastering error. MM |

Thanks, Steve. Could you please provide deadwax info for your promo 45?
That way, those of us hoping to locate a stock 45 at the correct, promo 45 speed can use your 45's deadwax as a possible tipoff, before buying another bogus (2:38) stock copy. |
