I can't imagine the demand for the Long Play Album outside the digital realm Ron in 2022.

I used the 2002 set as the source for my own homemade US 45 version; I can live without the editing artifact from the true US 45.

I have a set of the Disky 80's CDs too. Thanks Ron for the info about two issues produced. Mine is also the 2002 version.

I always get a bit forgetful when reading through a long thread. Was the Stars On Long Play ever issued on CD? I was going to drop into the record shop and pick up a vinyl copy for the display shelf.
This is a unique art piece, and I can't seem to find one in my collection.]]> Tue, 21 Jun 2022 09:51:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=756&PID=61118&title=stars-on-45#61118 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=756&PID=61116&title=stars-on-45#61116 Author: LunarLaugh

For a while a couple of those songs in the pre-
ATV/Northern Songs Beatles catalog were controlled by
Universal (formerly MCA). I think the only
Lennon/McCartney hit with publishing actually owned by
them (at this time) is "Love Me Do" and its original
flipside "PS I Love You". Yoko and Sir Paul acquired the
rights from EMI Beechwood for those two. ]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2022 19:49:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=756&PID=61116&title=stars-on-45#61116 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=756&PID=61114&title=stars-on-45#61114 Author: PopArchivist

While we are on Stars on 45, can anyone confirm the UK 1981 45 medley runs 4:48? I think they call it the original 45 on Qobuz. I am aware that the Stars on 45 Medley here in the US runs 4:05.]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2022 16:30:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=756&PID=61114&title=stars-on-45#61114 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=756&PID=61112&title=stars-on-45#61112 Author: crapfromthepast

Now Medley II, the single that was adapted from the
second half of the Beatles medley on Side 1 of the LP,
DOES have "From Me to You" in that spot. This is at
least the case here in Canada. I only ever heard the
Medley II single broadcast once on an American station in
Buffalo, NY (WBUF) and there were no omissions that I
recall. But I don't know if the US issued promo and
single had the song included.

In the UK version, at about 13:58, "From Me To You" is a 32-beat section between "Please Please Me" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand".

In the US version, at about 13:58, "From Me To You" is deleted, and the track goes from "Please Please Me" directly to "I Want To Hold Your Hand".

I seem to remember that there was an issue with the rights in the US. Something along the lines of a non-Beatle person retaining the rights to just "From Me To You" (and none of the other Beatles tracks), because the non-Beatle person really liked that song? Perhaps someone has a better memory than I do can fill in the details.

The US LP has a fade that extends about 8-10 beats longer than what's on the Disky CD. It's just looped at that point, and not terribly significant.]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2022 11:11:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=756&PID=61110&title=stars-on-45#61110 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=756&PID=61108&title=stars-on-45#61108 Author: sriv94

OK, I'm kind of curious. What's the difference between the UK LP version and the US LP version?
(There's a 10 second difference between the two.)

I can only get the UK version via iTunes (but I'd have to buy the whole damned album due to the (15:51)
running time), but there's also a nice-sounding version on YouTube as well.]]> Mon, 20 Jun 2022 10:49:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=756&PID=61108&title=stars-on-45#61108 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=756&PID=49658&title=stars-on-45#49658 Author: MMathews
