O/T: Queensryche - Eyes Of A Stranger

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

   The biggest single release from their Operation: Mindcrime concept album, Queensryche's Eyes Of A Stranger made it to #35 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1988.

The single is three short edits:

Delete any intro before the downbeat, so that the file starts with the beat of "1."

Remove 9.1 seconds between 4:20 and 4:29.

Create an 11 second fade to silence, starting at 4:29, to match the 7" single, and delete everything after 4:38.

Wikipedia claims the "Radio Edit" ran 5:15, but that doesn't match the dub I have of the 45 RPM single release.  If there was a different edit sent to radio, I'd love to know.  I suspect this was just the album version, on the 12".

Discogs, in fact, claims that the 45 ran 4:20...  I don't believe that, either.  If anyone has a shorter edit, I'd love to hear it.
