Just to clarify.... these timings are based on the 3:44

It seems that Pat would probably note if a CD contains something
different than what was on the original LP (i.e. different speed, edited,
remixed, missing or added overdubs, etc.). Since these songs don't
have a beginning and/or end that can be pinpointed, I suppose it
doesn't make too much difference on where the CD track markers are
placed. ]]> Sun, 12 Jun 2016 07:04:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=45741&title=dreamer-supertramp#45741 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=45740&title=dreamer-supertramp#45740 Author: JL328

I have a stupid question about songs from live albums....

How do we go about determining the time of the original vinyl LP version
of a song from a live album? I'm thinking of this song and also of songs
like "Ain't That a Shame" by Cheap Trick (which appears on CD with the
audience applause cut off at different points).

Here, "Dreamer" runs 3:29 on one CD version of "Paris" and 3:44 on a
later pressing. It's the same recording and there is no difference between
the pressings except where each track digitally starts and stops. On the
original vinyl LP, it was of course just a continuous concert recording with
nothing to discern the beginning or end of a track except, maybe, for
where the grooves in the album were.

Had this album been created in the CD era, I suppose there'd be an official
starting and stopping point for each track, but since this was originally on
vinyl and was only transferred to CD after the fact, is there an opinion on
whether the 3:29 version or the 3:44 version is the "correct" LP length? Or
is it accurate to say that there is no "correct" length of songs like this (as
long as it captures all of the notes/lyrics)?

One other possibility for the discrepency in run times between your 45 and Ed's copy could possibly be a difference in turntable playback speed.]]> Mon, 27 Nov 2006 23:37:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=8017&title=dreamer-supertramp#8017 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=8001&title=dreamer-supertramp#8001 Author: torcan

Don't really want to disagree, but in my findings probably at least 80% of Canadian 45s were the exact same as US 45s, especially when it comes to running time. I found that as running times grew longer in the late '80s, quite often Canadian 45s would carry the DJ-edit, where the US counterparts would be the full LP version. But for the most part they were interchangable.

One thing I used to do while in high school (and before I had enough money to buy as many 45s as I have now) is write down the listed running times for 45s from albums that I owned, and in checking them against Whitburn's "Pop Annual" books, most were the same.

Yes Todd, the difference in timing between the original issue Of "Paris" and the remastered edition is strictly due to the indexing of the audience applause between tracks. ]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2006 07:18:25 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=7987&title=dreamer-supertramp#7987 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=7982&title=dreamer-supertramp#7982 Author: edtop40

Thanks, Paul. I don't have a copy of the original CD pressing of Supertramp's Paris on A&M 750216702. Even though "Dreamer" runs 3:29 on both the CD and the vinyl 45, am I correct in assuming that the audience applause fades out on the 45 but the applause segues into the next track on the CD?

Oh, by the way, Paul, what is the run time printed on the label of your "Dreamer" 45? Is it 3:15 as stated in Whitburn's book?]]> Sat, 25 Nov 2006 15:57:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=7976&title=dreamer-supertramp#7976
