This track is on iTunes with a time of 4:22. Might be the LP version faded early.]]> Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:06:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3479&PID=24994&title=niteflyteif-you-want-it#24994 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3479&PID=16276&title=niteflyteif-you-want-it#16276 Author: aaronk

Actually, the 45 version can be extracted from the LP version. Offhand, I don't recall which parts are edited out, but I've been able to do it successfully.]]> Wed, 14 May 2008 23:15:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3479&PID=16276&title=niteflyteif-you-want-it#16276 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3479&PID=16272&title=niteflyteif-you-want-it#16272 Author: edtop40

i've had that song on cd for years.....maybe 10 years.....from the import....BUT...it's not the 45 version and i believe the 45 version CANNOT be edited or otherwise extracted from the lp version....

After all these years, I never realized Niteflyte's "If You Want It" was available on CD. Thanks for the tip, Greg!]]> Wed, 14 May 2008 20:47:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3479&PID=16269&title=niteflyteif-you-want-it#16269 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3479&PID=16265&title=niteflyteif-you-want-it#16265 Author: 80smusicfreak

I'll second that. However, it is available on at least one import. The song's original 1979 parent album - simply titled "Niteflyte" - was re-issued on CD in 1995 in Japan, which I have. (I obtained my copy through eBay, but a quick check on Amazon reveals that it's apparently still in print.) Label & no. is BMG Victor BVCP-7435. Printed time for "If You Want It" is "(4:31)", but it actually clocks in at (4:29). So based on jimct's post above, there's a :42 length/version difference compared to the 45. (BTW, the song hit only #59 in "Cash Box".) Great funk album - have had the U.S. cassette for years, but only recently added the Japanese CD to my collection...

Note to Paul Haney: As correctly mentioned in Joel Whitburn's book, "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles 1942-2004", Howard Johnson was the lead singer of Niteflyte, and went on to some solo success in the early to mid '80s, best known for his 1982 funk jam, "So Fine". And while Niteflyte is printed in bold for cross-referencing purposes in Johnson's bio (pg. 303), Johnson's name isn't in Niteflyte's bio (pg. 431) - so that will need to be fixed in future editions...]]> Wed, 14 May 2008 19:50:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3479&PID=16265&title=niteflyteif-you-want-it#16265 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3479&PID=16188&title=niteflyteif-you-want-it#16188 Author: jimct

Although not in the database, this song peaked at #37 in BB, in 12/79. My commercial 45 has a listed time of (3:50), but an actual time of (3:47). To my best of my knowledge, this song has yet to appear on a domestic CD.]]> Sun, 11 May 2008 23:39:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3479&PID=16188&title=niteflyteif-you-want-it#16188
