Just out of curiosity, any chance the 45 of this can be extracted from the LP (I don't think I've ever heard the 45 version--even when it was a top-40 hit in 1978)? ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

| Yes, the 45 is an edit of the LP version. I'll send you a copy of my 45 recreation. |

Thanks. I had almost forgotten about it. I'm surprised they didn't trim more out...this is still pretty long for a 45. |

yup...6:40 is long for a single...........most amazing thing about this tune is the fade out.........it's about :45 long...........and really fades out so you can barely hear it at the end........ ------------- edtop40 |

Roscoe,
I would love to have your edit of 'Deacon Blues'. Pls send me one. I also wondered if 'Josie' is also an LP fade or is it an edit? A123 |

| I remember editing this one a few months ago, but it was at a time that I had completed about 100 custom edits. Doesn't the single retain the LP fade? |

It's not the single version on my Decade CD. It's full-length on mine. Was there more than one pressing? They also show a (4:46) running time for "My Old School" on the jacket, but it actually runs (5:48). ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

I managed to pick up a copy of the "Deacon Blues" 45 and checked the timing of the two cuts. SD were perfectionists in the studio so it wasn't easy to identify some of these cuts but I think I've found them. 1 - At the instrumental break (3:57), the single cuts from the downbeat to the downbeat of the first repeat at (4:18). 2 - In the fade out, the song cuts from the downbeat of the third bar (6:13) to (6:46). The resulting file has cuts at (3:57) and (5:53). As Aaron mentioned, the original fade is intact -- and long! -- and ends around (6:40) as the label states. |

The original CD issue of "The Best Of Steely Dan" or the Japanese made or RCA Music Service CD issues of "Decade" have the single version of "FM (No Static At All" with the Guitar solo. To get the best version of Decade, look for the mastering being by Roger Nichols, the remastered CD was mastered by Glenn Meadows in Nashville at Masterfonics. ------------- I turn up the good and turn down the bad! |
