"CARS and solo Top 40 hits"
(Song Title "Running time/Listed time") "CARS" Touch And Go 3:41/3:41 Shake It Up 3:29/3:32 You Might Think 3:03/3:04 Magic 3:56/3:57 Drive 3:53/3:55 Hello Again 3:45/3:45 Why Can't I Have You 3:49/3:49 Tonight She Comes 3:53/3:52 I'm Not The One 4:10/4:07 You Are The Girl 3:55/3:52 -------------------------------------- "RIC OCASEK" Emotion In Motion 3:55/3:55 -------------------------------------- "BENJAMIN ORR" Stay The Night 4:26/4:26 -------------------------------------- My stock "You Are The Girl" 45 has the "howling sound" at the ending (3:53-3:55 mark) . Please verify about it. It is probable having the "version or length" description. Because the track on the LP "Door To Door" doesn't have the "Ending howling sound". I provide the info of their 45s reached Top 40 on the 80's decade only. Please, Post the 70s info etc.too. |

I just pulled out my dj copy of "You Are The Girl" and what I hear after the music stops sounds more like needle in the groove rumble than intentional howling to me. Anyone else wish to comment on this? Or is the commercial 45 different from the dj 45?

Thank you for your comment, Pat.
I recorded my 45 of "You Are The Girl" into my PC again. My thought isn't change because two music files made by me have the same howling. And the hissy on the backgrand also stops at 3:55. Therefore the 45 has "the intentional howling".And I tried to fade out the 45 file like the LP track using a music file editor software . As conclusion, the 45 length "3:55" the LP length "3:52" (or 3:53: Because this LP track crosses over the next track slightly.). I hope what anyone verifies this song continuously. |

I thought I'd bump this thread back up to the front of the pack since we never came to a consensus regarding the Cars' "You Are the Girl". Has anyone been able to confirm the "howling" sound effect Abagon claims can be heard at the end of the commercial 45, but not at the end of the LP? Also, Pat, the database has not yet been updated to reflect the actual commercial 45 run time of 3:55, not 3:52 as stated on the record label.

Edtop40 sent me a commercial 45 dub of "You Are the Girl" and I compared it to the song as it appears on the "Door to Door" CD, which is the song's parent album. Like Pat, I do not hear a "howling" sound effect that's unique to the 45. I think what abagon is trying to say is that the closing high-pitched synthesizer note fades out completely to silence at 3:55 on the 45, while the synthesizer note gets "truncated" at 3:52 on the CD/LP because it segues into the beginning of the next track on the album.
So the question is... Does "You Are the Girl" qualify for "45 version" and "LP version" comments, or should the database simply note next to the Door to Door CD that the song tracks into the next selection? I don't think the database has ever really had a clear-cut policy on situations like this. So, Pat, you'll have the final word... Edited by Todd Ireland |

I am not convinced that this track does overlap the following track. When I converted the files involved over to a WAV file there is very brief space between these two tracks. I will let others that own the cd try the same thing and let's take a poll.

Hmmm... Now that you mention it, Pat, I can't quite tell if the song's fade on the Door to Door CD is truncated, or just very rapidly pots down to silence. Either way, the LP does end several seconds sooner than the 45.

Does anyone know if the 45 version of Touch and Go can be edited from the LP.
Thanks. -Jeff |

So you mean that NONE of their 70s classics were hits on 45-rpm discs? Really? Even "Just What I Needed" or "Let the Good Times Roll"?

To Jody,
"Just What I Needed", "My Best Friend's Girl", & "Let's Go" were all Top-40 hits in Billboard; "Good Times Roll" & "It's All I Can Do" both reached #41. Andy |
