"More, More..." - Andrea True Connection - Top 40 Music on CD Forum

LP version

The LP version runs 6:15, and turns up on a few CDs that I don't have...

45 version

...but all we care about is the 45 version, which runs 3:02 on vinyl.

The oldest CD I have with the 45 version is Silver Eagle/Warner Special Products' 2-CD Dancin' The Night Away (1988), where it's from a high-generation tape source and sounds like mud. The same analog transfer is used for Priority's Mega-Hits Dance Classics Vol. 1 (1989). Avoid these two.

Bill Inglot did a great new analog transfer for Rhino's Disco Years Vol. 1 (1990), which sounds immeasurably better than the Silver Eagle and Priority CDs. The following CDs use the same analog transfer as Disco Years Vol. 1:

Razor & Tie's 2-CD Disco Fever (1991; absolute polarity inverted, which doesn't affect sound quality)
Rhino's Billboard Top Dance Hits 1976 (1992; digitally identical)
Rhino's cheapie Disco Hits Vol. 1 (1992; digitally exactly 0.239 dB quieter)
Warner Special Products' 2-CD Disco Collection (1993)
Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 38 Celebration (1994; mastered too loud and clips a bit - avoid)
Sony's Collector's Edition Disco (1995; differently-EQ'd digital clone of Razor & Tie's Disco Fever)
Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 44 '70s Dance Party 1975-1976 (1997; differently-EQ'd digital clone)
Rhino's Millennium New Disco Party (2000; digitally exactly 0.462 dB louder)

I have a hunch that the UK 45 runs about 10 seconds longer than the US 45, because I have a version running about 3:13 on Disky UK's 10-CD Beat Goes On Vol. 7 (1997) and Connoisseur Collection UK's 5-CD 100 Dance Hits Of The '70s (1988). Can't confirm with UK vinyl, though.

My recommendation for the (US) 45 version: Rhino's Disco Years Vol. 1 (1990).

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

Agree with crapfromthepast that Rhino's Disco Years,
Volume 1 is the best digital source for this classic. This
CD sounds like it is sourced from lower generation tape
sources than the other options, and tastefully mastered.

I turn up the good and turn down the bad!

	Jim reports his commercial 45 copy of Andrea True Connection's "More, More, More (Pt. 1)" has an actual and printed run time of 3:02. I'm passing this along because the song's database CD entries containing a "45 version" comment range from 2:57-3:10.

	Couldn't find any decent videos on YouTube of the 45 playing, but I think all of the 3:00 versions of the song in the database actually run 1% faster than the 45. Can anyone verify? Calling Mark Matthews.
