To create the 45 version, it appears as though an audio engineer at MCA may have dubbed the LP version onto another tape source before making the edits. This tape generation loss could explain the extra hiss on the 45 version.

Just received a 4:04 listed, 3:59 actual, promo 45 for Sister Christian. It's labeled as being (Without Guitar Solo), though that designation is not in the database.
For the radio guys out there, as my radio mind is cloudy at best on details, was the 3:59 edit especially for A/C stations? Or, did it also get Top 40 play? |

I don't recall the song getting much AC airplay back in '84...AC was still pretty much Barry Manilow, Christopher Cross, etc...even with the guitar solo removed, the song was a bit "rough" for most ACs of that era. Of course times change and I hear it even on the soft ACs (even sometimes with the guitar solo). Seemed to be a mixed bag with CHRs...some played the edit, some played the version with the guitar bridge. |

I don't recall hearing "Sister Christian" on any Adult Contemporary stations in 1984 either. Like Hykker pointed out, most AC formats back then were predominantly programmed with easy listening ballads and love songs.

The "Without Guitar Solo" version is not a further edit of the single edit -- instead, it's a different edit of the album version.
Going by the copy that's on the "Boogie Nights" CD, you remove 2:44.31 to 3:41.27, and then speed up the result by about 1.4%. |
