hotlegs neanderthal man

has anyone tried to do a reverse fade on this to see if the
cd versions can be faded-in to match the vinyl 45?

i just listened to the vinyl 45 versus the cd version from
"super hits of the 70's" and the cd version fades out while
the vinyl version does not and ends cold; counter to what
usually is the case....so the question i have is.....can
any of our resident experts fade the cd version IN during
the last 0:12 or so seconds of the song, increasing the
fade to be at full volume to match the vinyl 45.....i hope
i explained it properly....i know the issue with amplifying
songs' volume is that you'll also increase the inherent
tape hiss

By the way, Jim, I'm not sure if there is a technical term for this, other than perhaps "amplify," but I knew what Ed was trying to accomplish by "reverse fade." This is how you can get the proper 45 fade on "American Storm," which was recently discussed in another thread. Sometimes it does work, but only if the music level is still a good amount louder than the tape hiss.

Exactly. I never attempted to do so on "Neanderthal Man" because it would the hiss would have sounded just as bad as if I'd tried pasting on the ending of my crackle-infested Capitol 45.

Did a little digging on this last night and found two import CD's that contains what I think is the 45 version with the cold ending....

The first one is

The second one is called "True 70s".

They are both available on 7digital UK.

If anyone is interested in comparing, i can send the MP3 that I purchased from 7digial. Unfortunately, it is not lossless.
