lettermen when i fall in love

need the classes help on this one......do any of the cds
in the db contain the 45 version of the song......on my
vinyl 45 there is a piano tinkle near the fade out from
2:20 to 2:24 of the song which i cannot hear on any of the
cds i have.....even when i convert the file to mono i
cannot hear it....question is...do any of the cds contain
this piano tinkle during the outro?...

i just sent you my vinyl 45 dub for your review and
reference....

Ed also sent me a dub of his 45. Very interesting
findings in addition to mixing differences.

The piano is clearly mixed louder in the mono 45, and is
heard clearly in the sustained ending note right up to
2:25.   On the traditional stereo LP version, as Todd
points out, they mixed it down real low, to the point
where at about 2:20 it's so low as to be buried in the
mix.

Also on the 45, the vocals are mixed much lower, and have
noticeably more reverb than the LP.

There's a bigger difference though. I synchronized the 2
versions with the LP mix in one channel and the 45 in the
other. By doing that, i found out the 45 and LP are not
the same vocal take.
The only part of the vocal that matches perfectly is
between :42 - :49 "in a restless world like this is"..
that ONE line is spliced into the 45 from a different
take. All the rest of the 45 is NOT the LP take.
The different takes use the same backing music track.

There is no one part of the vocal that makes the
alternate take obvious, it's all incredibly similar, so I
only could notice this by synching them.

There is one more wrinkle: The song was remixed by Ron
Furmanek for the "Capitol Collector Series" CD. This
remix is still the LP take, but it's mixed to sound a bit
more like the 45; lower vocals in the mix and the piano
notes at the end are clearly audible right to the ending.

So there are 3 versions of this: the "45 version" (mono
only), the "LP version" which applies to all CD
appearances of the original stereo mix, and the "remix of
the LP version".

Hope that helps!!

But who might have a mono copy of the parent album which I believe was titled "A Song For Young Love" that can add the details of what version appears on that mono album? Need to know this information so I can enter either "mono and stereo LP version" or "stereo LP version" comments in the database. I can tell you this, the lone mono version in the database on cd is not the 45 version.

Yes, please!
