Paul, Whitburn has a 3:41 listing for this song in the annual. Where does it come from if not from a 7" vinyl?]]> Thu, 10 Sep 2020 07:46:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=55753&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#55753 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=55746&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#55746 Author: prisdeej

For what it's worth, I always believed the 3:39 promo CD single version is indeed a remix. It sounds hotter like the producer added reverb, however, this could just be the compression/limiting used
in the broadcast chain. Has anyone else noticed this?]]> Wed, 09 Sep 2020 23:13:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=55746&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#55746 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=55744&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#55744 Author: PopArchivist

Hate to bring this up again, but is the 3:39 promo the hit version even if its track 2 of the CD Promo? Every comp and cd promo outside the US has the track at the 3:52.

I guess reading this I am confused. There is no 7 inch in the United States, so does make the cassette or the CD single the point of reference for the hit version here?

You have a 3:52 version that matches the LP and cassette running time, a 3:39 version exclusive to the CD promo in the US which no one seems to remember got played that crossfades and a 45 version in Canada and the UK that matches the cassette version?

Can anyone clarify if I got this right? Thanks in advance.

I have a copy of this song running 3:39. It appears to have been ripped from a CD loaned to me by a friend. The length matches the promo version, but there's a very jarring edit that occurs at 2:18 which (to my ears) doesn't resemble the crossfade mentioned earlier in this thread.

Would anyone who is familiar with the promo version be willing to audition my copy and let me know if I have the correct version or not, please?

Thanks.]]> Thu, 07 Aug 2014 15:09:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=41968&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#41968 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=40640&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#40640 Author: Bwci Bo

Thanks for that, crapfromthepast.

Looks like I'll have to double check a few things and report back.]]> Tue, 04 Mar 2014 15:45:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=40640&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#40640 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=40639&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#40639 Author: crapfromthepast

"More Than Words Can Say" isn't on my copy of The A
List.

My copy has 50 CDs and was released in 1994. The songs
extend in time from "My Life" (peaked in early 1979) to
"Janie's Got A Gun" (peaked in early 1990). "More Than
Words Can Say" would have been too late for the series,
since it peaked in late 1990.]]> Tue, 04 Mar 2014 15:26:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=40639&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#40639 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=40638&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#40638 Author: Bwci Bo

A question for anybody who owns (or is familiar with) Swaitek's The A List series:

Can you please confirm for me whether the edited version of Alias' More Than Words Can Say which appears on one of the discs in this set, is the correct 45 version or merely an attempt to recreate it? I ask because I have acquired a copy of this disc recently and that crossfade in the guitar break sounds a little clumsy to my ears.

Thanks in advance. ]]> Tue, 04 Mar 2014 15:15:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=40638&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#40638 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=12998&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#12998 Author: eriejwg

Going back to listen to my recreation, while I was a beat off, didn't sound too bad. Obviously, I created a 'neither', but, I think with some work, the crossfade could be recreated. I just didn't have the patience to go back to another multitrack session..

Thanks to Todd for the comparison promo to guide me...]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2007 17:08:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=12998&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#12998 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=12985&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#12985 Author: edtop40

I've sent Todd my 'recreation' that I did in Audition. Have used Audition for a LONG time for cleaning up vinyl and editing digital files to 45 versions, this was my maiden voyage into the world of multi-tracking!]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2007 11:26:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2790&PID=12978&title=alias-more-than-words-can-say#12978
