Tierra - Together

(ASIDE: I don't remember this song at ALL but it made it to #53 on 1981's yr end Billboard charts.)

"Together," by Tierra: does anybody know if the album version can be edited down to the 45 length, or was it a separate mix?

I may have created my own answer, although I have nothing to reference to.

If you remove the talking from 2:58 - 3:21 (or more likely 2:59 - 3:22 if you don't cut the silence from the beginning of the track) from the long 45 edit you end up with a file 3:57 in length.

An early fade takes it down to the DJ short edit length!

Can anybody with the short DJ copy confirm this for me? It was tough to get the edit to sound smooth, & I'm wondering if the 45 was as "rough."

Don't feel bad. I was a big chart follower back in the day and there are some of these "hits" that I can't remember either.
Especially, the early 80s.
In fact, some of the late 80s stuff which I played as new songs have left my memory too.

Steve, I believe up near your way JB105 played the heck out of it back then. Not sure about anybody else though.

eriejwg, don't know how my search didn't turn up that thread... thank you so much! That answered my question, & by pure accident, my edit was right. :)

The other thread mentions a mono mix... the original 45 serviced to radio was NOT mono, not in 1981...

...was it???

The version I have is one of those with the awful noise reduction applied, but the only "original" recordings I could find on Amazon & iTunes were all mono.
