| In the database, this one is still listed as unavailable on CD. However, I just picked it up on iTunes. According to them, it's on the Press For Play CD. Maybe, it's the import version? |

Yep, it's only on the import version of Press To Play. |

| Thanks. (And sorry about the title mistake. Since I actually own that one on vinyl, you'd think I'd get it right. ^_^) |

| Anyone have first-hand knowledge of the difference between the DJ edit and the stock 45 version? |

Wish i did.....I had the DJ 45 once upon a time, lent it to a neighbor with a bunch of other things....who then moved to a new state.....and when the family returned, my records were nowhere to be seen.......
Now all i have is the Canadian 45 which ill assume is the same as the US Stock 45. ------------- Live in stereo. |

AFAIK, Pat does not acknowledge import CDs because it confuses things, and because of the nature of imports (strange versions, wildly sped up tapes, domestic availability, unless he's changed his position. ------------- |

I know he doesn't. In fact, the listing in the database is quite clear. "Not on a DOMESTIC CD"
And, after listening to my purchase off iTunes, I have to say that I'm not overly impressed. Sounds murky to me. But it'll have to do until better comes along. |

Yes, the DJ edit is just an early fade of the stock 45 & LP version. |

| Thanks Aaron! That will save me from sinking 17.00 or so into the promo 45 that's for sale. |

At what part? Can you supply a dub? ------------- Live in stereo. |

| Using the LP version, I started the fade at 3:35 as Paul sings "Spies Like Us" and fades all the way out by 3:46. Total file time is 3:49. |

Agreed. I keep hoping "Spies Like Us" will be reissued on another CD in better sound quality so I no longer have to listen to the tinny transistor-radio-like audio on the U.K. import Press to Play disc. In the meantime, when I can get around to it, I plan to tweak the EQ on the import CD to see if the sonics can be improved. |

I matched my fade out to the actual DJ 45, and you have it exactly right. It should start at 3:35 (full volume) and fade to 3:46. The last thing you can hear is "spies like us" before it fades all the way out. |
