Come to think of it Todd, when I played "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" on the radio in 1982, I seem to remember a fade out at 3:46 and no beginning drumbeat. Is that where your file fades out?]]> Mon, 08 Oct 2007 06:19:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2520&PID=11867&title=chicago-best-of-chicago-cd#11867 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2520&PID=11866&title=chicago-best-of-chicago-cd#11866 Author: eriejwg

Bill:

It actually, I believe, is a recreation of the 45 version.

Eriejwg, what is the source of your stereo 45 version? I wasn't aware that the single version was issued in stereo. DJ 45s and stock 45s I've always found from 1969 and 1971 are in mono, as were the Columbia Hall of Fame re-isues. ]]> Mon, 08 Oct 2007 01:53:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2520&PID=11863&title=chicago-best-of-chicago-cd#11863 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2520&PID=11861&title=chicago-best-of-chicago-cd#11861 Author: Todd Ireland

You're right, eriejwg. The drum hits that begin the "Get Away" portion of "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" can be faintly heard during the final few seconds on the commercial 45 before the fade out is complete. However, the song fades out slightly earlier on the DJ 45 and therefore the "Get Away" drum hits cannot be heard. I have replicated both the commercial and DJ 45 lengths from CD. I've never been a fan of the "Get Away" segment at all (in fact, I think it totally ruins the mood of an otherwise beautiful, tender ballad), so I'm naturally more partial to the earlier fade on the DJ 45 length.

My copy of "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" from the Chicago Story import CD runs 3:49 and includes the beginning drum beat from "Get Away."]]> Sat, 06 Oct 2007 11:23:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2520&PID=11813&title=chicago-best-of-chicago-cd#11813 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2520&PID=11812&title=chicago-best-of-chicago-cd#11812 Author: Brian W.

If the running times are correct in All Music Guide, "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" fades also about ten seconds early on this disc, just like my "Heart of Chicago" Japan import. I Just ordered the "Chicago Story" import, which alleged has the correct edit of that song.

Just got my CD in today...

1) Questions 67 & 68 seems to match the GH2 version, but the fade on the end seems faster than the GH2 version.


2) Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is has a wrong edit at the beginning.


3)Beginnings matches the stereo 45 version I have, but with an earlier fade.

4)(I've Been) Searching So Long fades at 4:15. I think thats earlier than the 45.

Overall, the rest seem to be
close to 45 length, but it seems the fades are earlier than the versions I have now. Bottom line: If you have the correct 45 versions already, save your $$. Mine's probably going on ebay by Monday.

I'm saying that GH2 CD is not an exact edit match as the three stereo stock 45s I have. The stereo stock 45 is a sloppy edit and it appears that somebody re-did it at a slightly later point for GH2. (It deserved to redone, it wasn't very good on the stock 45) I'm not sure if it was done for the vinyl GH2, I don't have a copy of that anymore. The GH2 edit and new Best of Chicago edit may match the DJ 45 mono edit, which might not have been as sloppy, but I don't have that. The GH2 edit DOES match the mono Columbia Hall Of Fame reissue 45.

I'm ignoring the Collectables Hall Of Fame reissue, they did edits themselves. I'm A Man on Collectables doesnt' match the Columbia edits.

For Best of Chicago, Audio Supervision was Jeff Magdid. Remastering by David Donnelly at DNA Mastering, Studio City, CA.

I don't believe there was any remixing done. Just limiting and some new editing on certain tracks like Beginnings. ]]> Fri, 05 Oct 2007 03:56:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2520&PID=11800&title=chicago-best-of-chicago-cd#11800
