i believe the two hits from xanadu on that cd, "i'm alive" and "all over the world", fade out earlier than their movie soundtrack counterparts....]]> Tue, 21 Sep 2010 11:09:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5917&PID=27852&title=dont-bring-me-down-elo#27852 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5917&PID=27851&title=dont-bring-me-down-elo#27851 Author: crapfromthepast

Always wondered what that odd sounds actually was...

I didn't keep terribly detailed notes when I compared the various version of the song a few years back, but I'm pretty sure that the only instance of the song fading before the door closing is on the 2-CD UK set from Telstar from around 1989, The Very Best Of The Electric Light Orchestra. That particular CD is a good source for the two hits from Xanadu, but the sound quality on everything else is pretty weak. You're better served with the 2-CD Strange Magic from 1995.]]> Tue, 21 Sep 2010 10:31:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5917&PID=27851&title=dont-bring-me-down-elo#27851 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5917&PID=27848&title=dont-bring-me-down-elo#27848 Author: KentT

Indeed, it is a door being shut. With a reverbed tail! And it is on all versions of the song, 45 and LP. ]]> Tue, 21 Sep 2010 10:06:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5917&PID=27848&title=dont-bring-me-down-elo#27848 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5917&PID=27831&title=dont-bring-me-down-elo#27831 Author: Yah Shure

Doug, what you're hearing there isn't a drumbeat; it's the sound of a door closing. It's on both the DJ and commercial 45 and the Discovery LP and CD.]]> Sun, 19 Sep 2010 19:04:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5917&PID=27831&title=dont-bring-me-down-elo#27831 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5917&PID=27830&title=dont-bring-me-down-elo#27830 Author: sriv94

Curious about something. My copy from T-L's Sounds Of The Seventies: 1979 has a drumbeat following the faded out echo vocal at the very end (at the (4:01) mark). I don't ever remember having heard that on the radio before, and wondering if it was that way on the commercial single, and if promo copies excised it if it was.

Listening to it on SiriusXM's AT40 reair today (the 9/15/79 chart), the drumbeat wasn't audible as Casey outroed the song.]]> Sun, 19 Sep 2010 17:23:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5917&PID=27830&title=dont-bring-me-down-elo#27830
