 Topic: Right Here Waiting - Richard MarxPosted: 16 July 2014 at 3:24am |

Making sure I have the correct versions of #1's I came across Richard Marx "Right Here Waiting". The playing time on the DB is between 4:21 - 4:23 and my version is 4:05 and has a cold ending?! The CD I'm referring to is "Now 89 - The Millennium Collection", can anybody shed any light on this?

I've noticed that quite a few appearances of this song on
compilation CDs remove the first :17 of synth and begin with the piano. This may be what appears on Now 89 - The Millennium Collection. I don't think it was an official edit or version of the song. |

Just a follow up... I know that Discogs isn't the most
reliable source for running times and version info, but I notice that some 45s and CD singles listed there contain an 'edit' with a listed time of 4:05. They appear to be of UK origin. So perhaps the version with the shortened intro was an official version over there? The 45 version here in NZ (and in the USA) appears to have been the LP version. |

You're right, just looked it up on Cat45 and discovered the UK version is the 4:05 edit which is shown on the record label

Interesting! I've encountered that version numerous times
on CD, plus there's at least one radio network here that plays it that way. I'd always assumed it was an unofficial edit so it's good to learn otherwise. |

The UK radio edit on the cd promo and UK 45 can be recreated by editing off the first 17 seconds of the 4:21 and beginning the song with the piano.

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."
