Thanks Aaron, I guess should check YT for the single edits more often! I thought I had on some of these, but maybe I just didn't see them there. And sometimes I just assume, in this CD & digital world, where the 45 has never been digitized, no one's going to bother to put the vinyl edit on YT - especially for Rod Stewart, Pink Floyd, and Boston (which I'll be checking next - I did see the notes for "Don't Look Back" on this board, but I was a bit confused by exactly how to edit that down to the single.)]]> Mon, 21 Sep 2015 20:01:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3494&PID=44413&title=rod-stewart-aint-love-a-bitch#44413 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3494&PID=44406&title=rod-stewart-aint-love-a-bitch#44406 Author: aaronk

The Joel Whitburn "Pop Annual" book lists the US time as 4:07 as well, and from internet photos, that's the time listed on the 45. But ... in addition to the vocal additions/removals, was there editing done to the single version? If I fade the LP version down to 4:07, it's a very odd place for the song to end at because the song starts kicking back in again at 4:03 or 04, so you'd think they'd end there, instead of continuing the fade for another few seconds while the song gets louder/bigger. So I'm just wondering if there's an edit, too.]]> Sat, 19 Sep 2015 23:33:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3494&PID=44400&title=rod-stewart-aint-love-a-bitch#44400 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3494&PID=37648&title=rod-stewart-aint-love-a-bitch#37648 Author: jcr102

The Canadian WB 45 lists a time of 4:07, although I haven't played it for the actual time. FYI, I've noticed that in earlier years, 45's issued in Canada were often LP versions, not the mix issued in the U-S. Don't know if that was still the case in 1979.]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 03:48:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3494&PID=37648&title=rod-stewart-aint-love-a-bitch#37648 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3494&PID=37647&title=rod-stewart-aint-love-a-bitch#37647 Author: Santi Paradoa

Does anyone have the actual time for the "rare" 45 version
of this song? Rod must not be a fan of this track since it
is never included on any of the many hits compilation CDs
released over the past two decades.]]> Tue, 14 May 2013 17:32:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3494&PID=37647&title=rod-stewart-aint-love-a-bitch#37647 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3494&PID=16320&title=rod-stewart-aint-love-a-bitch#16320 Author: aaronk

I just found another line where the vocal was resung: the first line "I've been in pain..." Also, at (1:07), the LP version has a cough before the line "the rest is history," which was removed on the 45.

The database currently lists "LP length" for Rod Stewart's "Ain't Love A Bitch"; however, the 45 has some unique vocals that are not on the LP version. The designator will have to be changed to "LP version."

At (3:21), the line "terrantial rains..." was resung on the 45. Also on the fade out of the 45, the repeated "ain't love a bitch" vocals were resung.]]> Thu, 15 May 2008 22:04:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3494&PID=16319&title=rod-stewart-aint-love-a-bitch#16319
