Unless some 45 pressings are different, I have to agree with Mark that I hear additional reverb on the LP version. The 45 sounds dry, but the LP has stereo reverb.]]> Mon, 24 Jun 2013 00:05:00 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3062&PID=38157&title=larry-grocejunk-food-junkie#38157 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3062&PID=31478&title=larry-grocejunk-food-junkie#31478 Author: Pat Downey

how does the 45 run longer? did they let the applause run and remove the
next track from the tape when preparing the 45?]]> Fri, 09 Sep 2011 06:13:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3062&PID=31471&title=larry-grocejunk-food-junkie#31471 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3062&PID=31454&title=larry-grocejunk-food-junkie#31454 Author: Pat Downey

Tesco in the UK has it, listed as a 320kb MP3. However, I have found with buying MP3s online from 7Digital and Napster, very frequently what is sold as 320kb MP3s is revealed to be a lower bitrate upsampled to 320kb, if you do spectral analysis on the tracks. Only MP3s from EMI/Capitol seem to consistently be actually 320kb when they claim to be.]]> Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:49:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3062&PID=31452&title=larry-grocejunk-food-junkie#31452 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3062&PID=31451&title=larry-grocejunk-food-junkie#31451 Author: eriejwg

Damn shame it's not available in lossless.

Sorry to dredge this up, but I am on a 70s kick.

There is a digital 45 of "Junk Food Junkie" on iTunes that runs 3:17, matching the WB 45's run time (plus a couple seconds of end silence). To my ears, this is the same version, same vocal take as what appears on the Dr. Demento disk except that it contains all of the single's end applause/crowd noise and is not faded early. Can anyone confirm that I am right that this is the correct WB single version (and length)?

The database lists a number of entries for this song, all of which run between 3:01 and 3:03. Although two of the versions are listed as "alternate takes," none of the other listings contain a version or length designation even though the timings of these versions do not match the 45. Based on jimct's observation that the LP version runs at least 3:10 (before it tracks into the next selection), I am surmising that these are also not LP version. Are these simply the WB 45 version faded early, as suggested above? If so, should the database state that they are "faded 0:11 early" or something similar?

I am also intrigued by EMB55's observation that none of the CD versions matches the WB 45, regardless of timing or fading. I realize he only had one post in 2008 and is probably not reading this, but is that true? If so, what are the differences? I haven't heard the actual 45 in a long while, but the Dr. Demento disk at least contains the version I remember (albeit faded early).

Lastly, did anyone ever reach a conclusion regarding whether the 45 and LP contained different vocal takes? If so, is it possible that the "alternate takes" on "Dumb Ditties" and/or "25 All-Time Novelty Hits" are the LP version (if it is, indeed, a different vocal take) or even the Peacable 45 version (which I have never heard)?

Thanks.]]> Wed, 07 Sep 2011 07:57:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3062&PID=31447&title=larry-grocejunk-food-junkie#31447 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3062&PID=30041&title=larry-grocejunk-food-junkie#30041 Author: MMathews

I wish i still had my Warner LP to check this (hopefully the above comparison will tell..)
I seem to recall the Warner LP was simply the live take from the 45, but with some added reverb and extra crowd effects over it. It's been many years and this is from memory...]]> Tue, 03 May 2011 03:20:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3062&PID=30041&title=larry-grocejunk-food-junkie#30041
