I wonder if Ed still has his promo CD single. I only have the disc that has the CHR Edit as the lead track, and there's no online listings for the one Ed has.

I wasn't yet working in radio when this song came out, but it seems like top 40 would've gone with the CHR Edit, regardless of which track it was on the disc.]]> Mon, 04 Oct 2021 06:29:13 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=59276&title=tesla-love-song-signs#59276 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=59270&title=tesla-love-song-signs#59270 Author: NightAire

Since promos put both versions first on competing copies, do we think the CHR or the rock / 45 version was considered the "hit" radio version?]]> Sun, 03 Oct 2021 18:36:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=59270&title=tesla-love-song-signs#59270 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=59060&title=tesla-love-song-signs#59060 Author: MikeM

[QUOTE=aaronk] In looking at my book, "Love Song" by
Tesla is only listed in it's LP Version on all CDs (unless
the newer editions have a 45 version listed). Was the 45
version an edit of the LP version or a different mix
altogether?

I have a promo CD that has the CHR and Rock version. I
think the rock version was the 45 version if I'm not
mistaken. I will send it to you.]]> Sat, 04 Sep 2021 17:01:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=59059&title=tesla-love-song-signs#59059 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=59058&title=tesla-love-song-signs#59058 Author: radiofan16

It should be noted the "Censored" version of Signs still contains the 'Fuckin up
the scenery" in the chorus. The only line that's changed is the last verse
"Made up my own fuckin' sign" to the original "Made up my own little sign".]]> Sat, 04 Sep 2021 15:43:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=59058&title=tesla-love-song-signs#59058 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=27065&title=tesla-love-song-signs#27065 Author: aaronk

Regarding "Signs," the database currently indicates "LP version" for all CD entries. The original LP has this song seguing together with the previous and next tracks, which is not true of other CD entries. It seems like some additional notation may need to be made.]]> Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:46:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=27064&title=tesla-love-song-signs#27064 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=12653&title=tesla-love-song-signs#12653 Author: crapfromthepast

I just compared my commercial 45 of "Love Song", labeled as "Edit" on the label, to the LP version.

To recreate the 45, cut off the first 1:17 of the LP version, and add a very gentle fade-in in the first two seconds or so.

All else is the same. My commercial 45 runs 4:04.]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2007 19:18:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=12653&title=tesla-love-song-signs#12653 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=12301&title=tesla-love-song-signs#12301 Author: aaronk

Nope, it has different lyrics. I've always wondered how they managed to change the lyrics of a "live" recording. Could it be possible that they performed the song twice at the concert? One with and one without profanities? I've never A/B'd the LP and censored versions to see if the vocals match up in the rest of the song.]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2007 11:46:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=353&PID=12301&title=tesla-love-song-signs#12301
