Pat:

The LP version of Donny Osmond's "Sacred Emotion" runs 5:11. However, the song is shown in the database with a run time of only 4:57 on the The All-Time Greatest Hits of the Osmond Family (Box Set) and it too contains the comment: "LP version". I suspect the latter is actually the LP version faded :14 early. If this is the case, the database should probably be updated to indicate this.

Well, if you chop off the organ intro of the LP version, you get (4:57), so perhaps that's what they did on the box set.

The 45 version, incidentally, cannot be edited from the LP version. At (3:39) of the 45, there is a place where Donny's ad libbed vocals were briefly removed to make the edit sound smooth.

Good point, Aaron. Pat, could you please check the Osmond Family box set and see if "Sacred Emotion" contains the organ intro?

Hi Aaron,

I kinda beg to differ with you.

I believe the 45 can be created from the LP version because the 45 employed out-of-sequence edits!

Its really effective handiwork on whomever edited the single.

P.S. Does anyone agree with me that "Sacred Emotion" is Donny Osmond's BEST single?

Not really fair to compare it with his 70s stuff that was pre-teen oriented.

Hykker,

I hear ya, but keep in mind I grew up along with the Osmonds (was 10 years old when "One Bad Apple" came out and bought the 45) so I liked them then, too.

When Donny came out of hiding with "Soldier Of Love" and then followed it up with "Sacred Emotion" I declared "Sacred" his ALL-TIME best single.

The quality of the record, of course, has a little to do with producer/songwriters Carl Sturken & Evan Rogers who are still having hits today...

The version of "Sacred Emotion" on the Osmond Family Box Set has the organ introduction. The ending is what was faded early to get the (4:57) time.

Andy, you are absolutely correct about the out-of-sequence edits. I was able to find all the necessary parts for the entire 45 version, except there is about a 1.5 second section that I could not find anywhere in the song. This is the part above that I mentioned. If you can figure out how to do it, please post where you found the mystery audio.

Hi Aaron,

I did it awhile back, so I don't remember exactly where the "mystery section" came from; I seem to recall I created it from a sharp crossfade from the drum/acappela break into the second(?) chorus and any vocal trail is obfuscated.

It sounds pretty darn close; PM me if you want to hear it (assuming you don't have a promo CD, which I don't).

Andy
