i know that this site shuns import cds, but the only place to find robbie nevil's "dominoes" in it's 45 version is on a cd titled "a time to remember:1987:20 original chart hits"..........the 45 says the 45 version runs 3:58 but it actually runs 4:05.........

I think only the database shuns import CDs. The posters on this site definitely want to know. Thanks, Ed!

Can the 45 version be edited down from the LP version?

995wlol: Yes! It's possible.
Delete:(1)from 0:34.226 to 0:53.614 /(2)from 4:27 'til the end (Until the chorus of "Dominoes Dominoes"). and fadeout.The acutal 45 running time is accurately "4:07".(Listed Time 3:58). The fadeout of the 45 starts around 3:50.
I used the original U.S. LP track of "Dominoes" (Actual running time:4:45). Both the pitch of the 45 and the LP are the same.

I own all of these "A Time To Remember" discs which also cover the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. I just went through the 80s discs (1980-1989) and found another other hard to find 45 version on these cd's in additon to Dominoes by Robbie Nevil:
Who Found Who - Jellybean (A Year To Remember 1987)
Will try to go through all of the years and see if there are any other hidden gems on these.

I have the set of these from 1970 to 1989. They're
produced by EMI, and I get the sense that they're
included with birthday cards in Europe as representing
music from the year you were born. They're packaged in a
shrinkwrapped paper sleeves with year-specific trivia on
them. No jewel boxes. They have a designation of
"CDCard" in addition to "A Time To Remember", and I'm not
sure of how to reference the exact title.
A friend of mine found a bunch of them in a museum gift
shop, and I had him buy them for me and mail them to me.
Ah, we collectors are a strange bunch, aren't we?
I'd rate the sound as "good" but not "excellent". Tracks
are from good source tapes, with a little more
compression than I'd like, but they're not
brickwalled/maximized. EQ is pretty good overall. In
general, they're not my first choice for sound quality,
but they're far, far better than many of the recent
collections that are mastered too loud.
Track selection is very Europe-centric, which is great
for US collectors. I used them to load up my Hot 100
collection with tracks by Suzi Quatro, Debbie Harry solo,
Blondie's "Island Of Lost Souls", the LP length of Eddy
Grant's "Romancing The Stone", "Dominoes", a Freddie
Jackson tune, and a few others.
As compilations, they're quite worthwhile, and I
recommend buying them if you stumble across any.

I totally agree. Lots of great tracks that are difficult to get. I havent gone through the 40's-70's yet but will do so and report back.
My copies actually did come sealed in jewel cases but I have seen them with the shrink wrap as well.
They were definitely priced right as well. I think they were abut $7.99 a piece which wasn't bad about 10 years ago.

Ok. Hopefully, you all can follow me here...
I don't think the 45 version can truly be extracted from the LP version. At
the edit point (roughly 0:35 of the 45 version) Nevil sings ".. as she braved
the midnight heat." Then a guitar comes in before Nevil sings "Soldiers of
Fortune surrender like children." On the LP version, the very beginning of
that guitar note is overlapped by Nevil's lingering vocal of the word "apart"
from the previous line "...Might one day fall apart," which appears on the LP
version.
That "might one day fall apart" line is part of the music that was deleted for
the 45. So on the 45, it goes ".. as she braved the midnight heat," followed
by the guitar note (with no vocal overlap), followed by "Soldiers of Fortune
surrender like children." Because the guitar note has an ever so slight vocal
overlap on the LP version, I'm not sure that the 45 can truly be extracted
from the LP version.

Actually, I listened a bit closer and it is a straight
edit. The reason it works is when you edit right on the
snare beat, the "T" from "apart" becomes the "T" for the
word "heat".

Mark, thanks for taking a listen to this one. The split vocal was distracting me
and I just couldn't hear the edit without my mind focusing on the fact that I
was catching the last part of that word "apart" from the LP version. But based
on your post and re-focusing only on the snare, I think I finally got it and, yes, I
can't even tell anymore that the edit's got two words spliced together.
I used the iTunes LP version from the Best of Robbie Nevil, and snipped from
0:34.579 to 0:53.980 and it sounds pretty good now. Then faded from 3:50 to
complete silence at 4:07.000.
