Orion The Hunter - So You Ran (1984)

This may be a long shot. Orion The Hunter was a flash in
the pan 1980s offshoot of the band Boston. It featured
former Boston members Barry Goudreau, Brad Delp and Fran
Cosmo. The song So You Ran did better on rock radio (top
10) and was a mid-chart hit on Billboard 100 in 1984
(peak #58).    I'd like to recreate the 45 version.
There is an official video on youtube but I am not sure
if that is the correct 45 once you cut the first 24
seconds. It's also pitched faster by about 2% vs the LP
version. Perhaps someone has this 45 and can shoot me a
dub or provide the edit points?

Bill, thank you for the info. At least I now I know
that the run time of the single is accurate.

So I had one of the members of the forum listen to the
quick edits I did with the LP version. Turns out the 45
version can't be recreated from the LP version. According
to him, "Unfortunately, the 45 version can not be recreated
from the LP version. Listen to the dub of the 45 at 2:37 -
the "ooh"s (and a tambourine accent) begin on the start of
the final verse - those vocals are missing when that verse
starts on the LP version. There may be more mix
differences, I just did a random spot check."

So, you'll need a mint 45 dub to add the 45 version to your
collection.

If you have that 45 can you send it along. Would be helpful.

Richie, Check your email. I'm not used to sending files via
email and to add I have HORRIBLE internet. If you can,
report back to me if it came through OK and if the quality
of the file is good. -Bill.
