Noticed there was not a thread for this song. All versions in Pat's database are LP or run way longer than the 45 (18-24 seconds).
Is there a way to recreate the 45 to match the actual 3:20 running time? If its on CD somewhere domestically or internationally as the 45 version please let me know. ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

There's a 4CD collection put out by Rhino, "Long Train Runnin'" Rhino Entertainment Company – R2 75876 which has a "Demo" version on the last disc.
It says 3:03 on the Discogs page for that one. I don't own the set, so I don't know if it's just an outtake or something else. The 4th disc that I'm commenting on is called "Abandoned Tracks (Demos & Roughs.) Probably not the 3:20 45 version, but may have insight where edits can be made. ------------- <Dave> Someone please tell I-Heart Radio that St. Louis is not known as The Loo! |

I have a version with a duration of 3:20, with a lower
quality, that I am sending you by PM. For edit points you can use this youtube video as a guide to edit your 45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u94-rsxEp6I cheers ------------- Marcelo - Argentina https://www.mixcloud.com/marcelo-guzman4/ - https://www.discogs.com/user/kaqueno/collection |

The 45 version was released as a "Digital 45" by Rhino and
is still available in lossless format on 7Digital and Qobuz. Search for "Takin' It To The Streets / For Someone Special". |

The database (as well as forum members) should note the following: The 45 promo has a label time of 3:20 and runs approximately 3:20. Some pressings of the 45 run longer. The 45 prof has one that runs 3:45. The LP version runs 3:58, original LP time states 3:56. The Digital 45 available online from Rhino is the 3:20. Numerous CD's have the 3:45 version and the database should be updated accordingly. ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

That's an interesting find, Rich. I don't think anyone previously knew about a vinyl 45 running 3:45. I'd be interested in knowing more details about the pressing and matrix where it can be found. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Would the 3:45 versions in the db, instead of being labeled LP version faded early, actually match Bob's 45? A long 45 version? ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA Celebrating 28 years as a full-time wedding & special event DJ! |

I'm not convinced that the aforementioned 3:45 version did exist on a US 45, That version first appeared on 1976 vinyl LP 'Best Of The Doobies' to the best of my research. Same edit as the 45, but not faded early like the 45 was. Andy Edited to add: I am now convinced the 3:45 version DID exist on a US 45. See below. Thanks MusicProf [Bob]! |

Rich, is it possible the dub you have is from the 1976 Best Of vinyl LP and not a 45? ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

The file to which Rich refers is a transfer made yesterday from my 3:45 stock 45. It is, indeed, one of the extended and label-mistimed pressings. I attempted to paste an image of that very 45 label here but it's either not permitted or I just don't know how to go about it. I'll send to Rich and maybe he can make it work. Thanks, Bob |

Thanks, Bob! I'll go through the database and make updates. Do you mind sharing the runout matrix of the longer 45? For posting a picture, I think the forum software only allows you to post an image using a link. I'm not sure there is a way to upload a photo. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

| Aaron & all...I just did a very amateur phone video of that 45 being played. The final fade notes may not be audible here (audio is left-channel speaker only, adjacent to the tt), but it is the single which was referenced above. https://youtu.be/oEt7tEi56mM" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/oEt7tEi56mM |

| Aaron, my Doobies 45 runout reads: T WBS-8196 TCA-5745-S - 1 Across from that is an unclear scrawl that may or may not be: 173 |

Many thanks, everyone. I've been looking for this promo 45 version for a long time. I just purchased it from 7Digital.

Awesome! I'm going to look for my 45 copy (or copies) to see which pressing(s) I have. The matrix is very helpful, Bob! ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

Thanks, Bob, for posting the actual 45 playing the 3:45 version! I love it when I'm proven wrong! Andy |

Great detective work Richie and Prof45. The 3:45 file in the '76 archive states 45 version, but 24 seconds longer. Should this be renamed long 45 version? ------------- DJ L. |

I think it may be the long 45 version as well. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA Celebrating 28 years as a full-time wedding & special event DJ! |
