my Pentagram 45 plays 2:31 but all CD versions play the 3:00 min lp version. The edit is hard because the singer grunts right at the edit point, but that grunt isn't heard on the 45.
1 Maybe it's different guitar solo
2 Maybe I'm doing something wrong

Anyone recreate the 45 from the lp yet?

I seem to recall trying it and coming away with the conclusion that the 45 could not be made from the LP.

I don't have the 45, but I had access to a radio aircheck that had the single unscoped (don't think I have access to it anymore). But I seem to recall also running into diffculty at the instrumental break. And the aircheck wasn't clear enough to splice in.

I attempted the same thing some years ago. The stereo Pentagram 45 is a remix, different from the stereo mix on the LP/CD version.

Yes, the commercial 45 I own is a remix/edit (a good one).

Does anyone know if the 45 version exists on an import CD?

Redeye's follow-up to "Games" also had distinct 45 and LP versions. The LP version of "Redeye Blues" on Warner-distributed One Man's Poison featured an instrumental break from 1:16 to 1:38.

The MCA-distributed 45, with the slightly different title of "Red Eye Blues" (Pentagram 206, #78) eliminated the instrumental break, substituting a repeat of a later segment that begins at the 2:05 point with "So I sit and wrack my brain..." This change actually strengthened the record for airplay purposes.

While both single and album versions clock in at an identical 2:47, the 45 version of "Red Eye Blues" cannot be recreated from the LP version due to a lingering guitar overdub over the words "Ooo-ooo goldmine" that does not appear over the same words on the 45.

Here is the lp version for those who haven't heard it. Got lot's of play on KOMA the winter of 70/71 but maybe that's because everyone thought it was a new CSN&Y song.

Since it isn't available anywhere else I recreated the 45 version from the Rhino CD by dropping in a section from a 45 and mixing to mono. It will have to do I guess.

Any sightings of Redeye 45 mixes on CD since the last post 6 years ago?

From what I've read, the 45 was issued in stereo. Indy500, in mixing
it to mono, is it a mono promo 45 you are making (assuming of
course, a mono promo existed...anyone can verify?).

Stock 45s were stereo. I did a clean-up on one of them. I
don't know if the promo was stereo but according to
Discogs it had the same B-side as the stock 45.

No, just personal preference for my early 70s AM radio playlist. I fold if I can't find a dedicated mono mix.

GAMES sounds really good that way.

I have had the mp3 of the 3:05 version, which I found
out a few days ago, was the LP version from this, I
downlaoded the 45 rpm mp3 version, so that means I
remembered the WRONG version as a single (familiar
story, huh? :D).

After all these years this song has only appeared on CD once (thanks to Rhino). They had two LPs and looks like those have never ever been reissued on CD. Wonder who has the rights to the Pentagram label these days. Rhino licensed the track from Pentagram but that was in 1990.
