That's one of the copies I have, and it's pressed on vinyl (not polystyrene).]]> Wed, 09 Nov 2022 14:15:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9882&PID=62118&title=stevie-wonder-i-wish#62118 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9882&PID=62114&title=stevie-wonder-i-wish#62114 Author: garye

Then, should this edit be classified as a UK 45 version?]]> Tue, 08 Nov 2022 15:15:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9882&PID=62110&title=stevie-wonder-i-wish#62110 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9882&PID=62109&title=stevie-wonder-i-wish#62109 Author: aaronk

Thanks, John! I just got out my magnifying glass and a strong light. Here's the actual deadwax from my copy:

T54274F 64265 S O6G [MR] XTAL #14 AB [DELTA] 101242

So, it's the same copy you have.

My second copy has the stylized Tamla logo:

Aaron, my stock 45 runs 4:08. Deadwax isn't the same as your first stereo promo, and although it does have the stamped Monarch logo and delta number, it's a vinyl United pressing.

My promo 45 probably matches your first one: United vinyl pressing with plain, and not stylized "TAMLA" lettering. What you stated as "G69" on your deadwax is "O6G" on mine (there would not have been any MCA Gloversville connection) and the "FB" is actually the mastering engineer's cojoined "AB" initials. What's funny on this particular side is that the "M" in the "MR" Monarch logo, didn't make an impression, so somebody crudely etched it in by hand. :) ]]> Tue, 08 Nov 2022 14:48:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9882&PID=62108&title=stevie-wonder-i-wish#62108 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9882&PID=62107&title=stevie-wonder-i-wish#62107 Author: aaronk

Garye, do you recall what the label looked like? Tamla and Motown would frequently issue different pressings with different fonts for the "logo" at the top, so maybe that would trigger a memory. I have this copy:

I found a third label variation that I don't have, but it appears to be a Monarch pressing:

I did the radio edit from the flac file of the LP. And
you're right, there is a small glitch in the intro.
Checked the source I used and it's there. But ATM have no
other source available.
I did own the promo 45 for years and my copy ran 3:37 on
both sides, but it was not a Monarch pressing.
But can not remember where it was pressed.]]> Tue, 08 Nov 2022 13:52:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9882&PID=62106&title=stevie-wonder-i-wish#62106 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9882&PID=62105&title=stevie-wonder-i-wish#62105 Author: aaronk

The file in question is an edit someone created using a CD/digital source. It's not from vinyl, which is why I'm still wondering if a radio edit truly exists on a US promo 45. Perhaps a shorter edit was made available overseas, but I don't see any evidence of a US promo having anything different than what we're used to hearing.]]> Tue, 08 Nov 2022 09:42:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9882&PID=62105&title=stevie-wonder-i-wish#62105 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9882&PID=62104&title=stevie-wonder-i-wish#62104 Author: AndrewChouffi

Please note there is a skip/glitch in the intro of the
"radio edit" that Garye sent.

I don't know if it's a vinyl skip or a digital glitch,
however.

I just timed both sides of my second copy (the MR pressing). Stereo side runs 4:09. Mono side runs 4:08. Unless someone comes forward with yet a third promo pressing that has a different version, I'm beginning to doubt an edited version exists.

I'd also love to know the actual run time of the 3:55 stock pressing if anyone has one.
