These versions are on the Into the Gap deluxe edition released last week:

• 4:38 album version, 2024 remaster (DR 9, good spectral balance, a touch more bass but not a huge difference from previous masterings).
• 5:47 Phil Thornalley Remix = edit of the Extended Version, same mastering as on Greatest Mixes.
• 7:52 Extended Version = same mastering as on Thompson Twins Box.
• 3:58 Single Edit = US DJ 45 version which seems to be from the master tape; sounds great!
• 4:27 Edit = early fade of the album version, as used on some import singles.

They got the version info swapped on the last two tracks, I think; they are saying the 4:27 version is the US promo edit, but that's obviously wrong.

I noticed on Discogs that the 7" releases from Canada, Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand purport to have a 3:58 version on them (according to the durations on the labels). I am wondering if this is the same as the US promo 45 edit.]]> Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:04:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2291&PID=65475&title=thompson-twinsdoctor-doctor#65475 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2291&PID=49620&title=thompson-twinsdoctor-doctor#49620 Author: eriejwg

Thanks Ron. That describes the version I always heard on the radio.
Whenever I hear the LP/45 version, it sounds awkward to me. ]]> Fri, 08 Dec 2017 22:18:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2291&PID=48679&title=thompson-twinsdoctor-doctor#48679 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2291&PID=48671&title=thompson-twinsdoctor-doctor#48671 Author: crapfromthepast

I really like the sound on the 1996 Greatest Hits CD. It's my go-to disc for most TT tracks, including "Doctor Doctor".

Here are instructions for creating the promo 45 edit from the LP/45 version on Greatest Hits.

Delete the first 16 beats, from 0:00.0 to 0:08.4 of the LP/45 version.

Segment 1
Begins on a downbeat
Ends on a snare
Extends from 0:08.4 to 2:53.6 of the LP/45 version
Extends from 0:00.0 to 2:45.2 of the promo 45 version

Delete the 32 beats from 2:53.6 to 3:09.6 of the LP/45 version.

Segment 2
Begins on a snare
Ends on a downbeat
Extends from 3:09.6 to 4:01.3 of the LP/45 version
Extends from 2:45.2 to 3:36.9 of the promo 45 version

Delete the 32 beats from 4:01.3 to 4:17.4 of the LP/45 version.

Segment 3
Begins on a downbeat
Extends from 4:17.4 to 4:39.3 (end) of the LP/45 version
Extends from 3:36.9 to 3:58.8 (end) of the promo 45 version

Your mixdown will run about 3:57 (excluding outro silence), or 3:58.8 (including outro silence), with edits at 0:00.0, 2:45.2, and 3:36.9.]]> Thu, 07 Dec 2017 21:16:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2291&PID=48671&title=thompson-twinsdoctor-doctor#48671 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2291&PID=48670&title=thompson-twinsdoctor-doctor#48670 Author: RichM921

Is one of the edits in the instrumental bridge? I seem to recall hearing
a version with a shorter bridge back when the song was out. ]]> Thu, 07 Dec 2017 21:10:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2291&PID=48670&title=thompson-twinsdoctor-doctor#48670 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2291&PID=48669&title=thompson-twinsdoctor-doctor#48669 Author: eriejwg

Steve, (Hykker), was kind enough to send me a dub of his
promo 45. Besides removing the first 8 seconds off the
intro, there are 2 edits towards the end.

To get the full 3:58 length after the edits, the best
sources to use are the the ones that run 4:38 or so
before the edits.

Early fade too.
