Manfred Mann’s Earth Band - "Runner"

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   The 45 runs 3:37, the label says 3:38. To my ears it appears to be simply cutting off the first 15 seconds or so, fading in to just prior to the first vocal, and then a 10 second fade to a length of 3:27, cutting the final 50 some seconds.

There is also a 12" version that can be found on the import CD of Criminal Tango.

	It seems to me that the fade in section has a couple seconds of unique audio that I had to borrow from the 45 to make a faithful re-creation. It's been a long time since I've done that one, though.

	So is the actual commercial 45 running time (3:47) or (3:37) as the first two posts disagree on the actual running time?

	Just timed my Arista 9143 and it definitely runs 3:37.
