The 45 version intro has a whistle sound effect, the LP has no such sound. There is also a 6 second difference in the intro, the LP having a longer ramp up and the 45 having a short one.]]> Tue, 22 Mar 2022 21:01:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=60539&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#60539 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=47090&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#47090 Author: sriv94

Did we ever solve this? John had sent me a file a few years ago, but the "whistle" sound David hears on the intro of the 45 seems to also be there on the
LP version, just a few seconds later, though.]]> Sun, 05 Mar 2017 13:48:49 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=47090&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#47090 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=40225&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#40225 Author: eriejwg

Unfortunately, David, I don't have access to my 45s at this
moment as we are prepping to move into a new house. Wish I
could be more help. I honestly don't remember how I came to
the conclusion I did. I could have been in error with that
statement.]]> Sat, 11 Jan 2014 10:47:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=40225&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#40225 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=40221&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#40221 Author: davidclark

eriejwg, what/where are the elements on the 45 that are not on the LP
version? I am aware of only the intro, where the 45 has a whistle sound not
present on the LP version (in addition to it being shorter).]]> Fri, 10 Jan 2014 21:44:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=40221&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#40221 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=39373&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#39373 Author: edtop40

has anyone done a vinyl clean-up on this song yet?]]> Sat, 12 Oct 2013 09:30:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=39373&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#39373 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=22269&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#22269 Author: eriejwg

After reading Abagon's post, I ordered a commercial 45. The intro is definitely different and, my opinion, the 45 has elements not in the CD version.]]> Sun, 17 May 2009 07:30:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=22263&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#22263 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=22225&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#22225 Author: jimct

Thanks for the kind help, my friend. I had no idea your collection of original U.S. 45's went all the way back to 1974 - impressive!]]> Wed, 13 May 2009 04:25:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=22225&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#22225 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4932&PID=22216&title=defranco-familyabracadabra#22216 Author: abagon

Hi, Jim.
The actual running time of the commercial stereo 45 is (3:02), the listed time is "2:56" (20th Century TC-2070).
Also I have the CD "Bubblegum Classics volume one" (Varese Sarabande VSD-5535).
"Abra-ca-dabra" on this CD has the fade-in intro. (about 9 seconds)
The commercial 45's intro doesn't fade in.(about 3.5 seconds)

I only currently own a promo 45 for this song. Both its mono and stereo sides have listed times of (2:56). However, the stereo side actually runs (3:02), while the mono side actually runs (3:00). The two current database CDs that include this song feature slightly longer run times, at (3:07) and (3:08). Could anyone who may happen to own a stock 45 for this one possibly supply timing info for it?
