gary us bonds quarter to three

my commercial 45 for the gary us bonds song 'quarter to
three' issued as legrand 1008 lists a run time on the
label
as 2:29 but actually runs 2:27......the version on the
varese 5938 cd 'the very best of' is pitched up way too
fast...in order to create the true vinyl 45 version
you'll
need to slow that cd version down to 80.90 bpm's and then
fade for 0:06 from 2:21-2:27 of the pitched down
track....pat, when time permits you may want to review
which 2:27 tracks on cd have the correct pitch
version....the way you can tell the pitch difference is
that the vinyl 45 doesn't have the clapping and 'yeahing'
as the song fades and the 'very best of has 0:04 of
clapping and 'yeahing' not found on the vinyl 45....

Thanks for bringing this thread back, Tim. I realized my
file is from the same CD and most likely is not slowed
down properly. I'm going to see if there's a 45 dub on
YouTube and hopefully report back.

Here's how to match the Legrand 1008 45 (my copies are both Columbia Terre Haute pressings, matrix ZTSP67904-1G) to the track from the Rhino Best Of CD Tim cited above, with its dead roll left intact:

1. Fade the ending from 2:18.222 to 2:23.911

2. Stretch by 103.19%. That is not a typo. I imagine it was hard to keep the speed in the right ballpark when the song was originally waxed direct to Edison Amberol cylinder.

Total length should be 2:28.502... which is a little short of a quarter to three.

Does the original 45 have that drop-out at about 51
seconds in on the word, "Daddy"? I think pretty much
every CD I have with the song has it.
