"Never on Sunday" - The Chordettes

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

   I notice on my Chordettes' 25 All-Time Greatest Recordings CD (Varese Sarabande 302066097) that the Top 40 hit "Never on Sunday" runs 2:38, but then is followed by :06 of silence and then approximately :05 of a guitar tune-up and some studio talk.  This comes out to a run time of 2:50 altogether for the entire track.

Does anybody else's copy of this CD contain the silence and tune-up/talk after the conclusion of "Never on Sunday"?  I ask because there is currently no mention of this "extra-curricular activity" on this CD for this song in the database.

	My copy is the same as yours, Todd. It sounds to me as if the tracking is off for the beginning of the next song (#25 on the cd), the alternate take of "Born To Be With You". In other words, song #25 should have started about :05 sooner. I think this because the guitar in the tune-up at the end of song #24 sounds similar to the guitar in the alternate take. Jon O.

	On my cd player, the silence and tuneup are assigned as a negative index to track 26, the alternate version of "Born To Be With You" and is so noted under the song "Born To Be With You".

	Ok. I was viewing the "Never on Sunday" track on my Adobe Audition digital editing software, which evidently includes as part of its total run time any negative indexing audio that precedes the next track. That would explain why the negative indexing audio kicks in at the very end of my "Never on Sunday" wave file, even though it's technically intended to precede "Born to Be with You".
