I've been working today on trying to recreate the 45 version of The Marshall Tucker Band's underrated hit "Fire on the Mountain" from what I believe is the LP version on the band's self-titled CD on BMG Special Products 44616. (The song reached #38 on Billboard, but doesn't appear in the database presumably because it didn't chart as high on other chart publications.) The 45 runs 3:05 and contains two edits. The second edit is complicated because one must copy and splice in an instrumental passage from earlier in the song. Even though my homemade CD edit wave file looks identical to the vinyl 45 wave file on my Adobe Audition digital editing software, the second edit on my CD replication just doesn't sound quite as smooth as on the 45.
Does anyone have what appears to be the 45 version of "Fire on the Mountain" on any of the following out-of-print CDs: Sounds of the Seventies: AM Nuggets (Time-Life Music 35) Harley Davidson Road Songs (Capitol 31324) Country Tucker - The Marshall Tucker Band (K-Tel 5036) How to know if any of these CDs contain the 45 version: If there's no steel guitar right before the flute at the 1:20 mark, then it's probably the correct version. |

I have the SotS CD. Hard for me to tell whether it's correct or not, but I'm shooting an MP3 your way. ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

| I finally got around to analyzing the "Fire on the Mountain" mp3 that Doug kindly e-mailed me from his Sounds of the Seventies: AM Nuggets CD and I've concluded it is indeed the 45 version. I'm still not sure why the one section on my homemade 45 edit doesn't sound quite as seamless as that of the vinyl 45, but nonetheless it's good to know the real thing is available on CD. |

Hi,
Another thing to note is the Steel Guitar solo is different on the Capricorn LP version of Greatest Hits compared with the Warner Brothers reissue of Greatest Hits on LP. Sounds like a alternate mix or take. ------------- I turn up the good and turn down the bad! |
