Hopefully someone can unconfuse me. On the Skyline site, there's an MP3 that claims to be the single version of Andy Gibb's "I Just Want To Be Your Everything." I've also heard an edited version on the radio. However, the radio version (which I am assuming came from TM Century) has a cymbal crash where the edit in the intro is, while the MP3 on the Skyline site does not.
Could I infer from all this that TM Century made another incorrect edit to simulate the 45 version, or is the one on Skyline wrong? Signed, Confused near Chicago ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

The single has a cymbal crash in the first edit of the intro. Counting in 4/4 time, it goes like: (drum intro) dit-dit-dit-crash 2,3,4, crash, 2,3,4, boom dit-dit-dit-dit...dit-dit-dit...dit-dit-dummmmm...tit-tit-ti t-tit-"For so long...you and me..." Get it?
Looks like TM made a goof. |

If that's the case, then TMC actually got it right--it's the Skyline edit that's missing the cymbal crash in the edit.
Do you happen to have the edit at your disposal? ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

| So is the cymbal crash the only difference between the 45 and LP version? |

If I understand correctly, the cymbal crash is on the LP version... it's just TM Century edited it out by mistake.
The 45 also fades early, besides the edited intro. I did a good edit of it a few months ago. I'll see if I can find it. |

Skyline's version would be correct...they always compare their files to the original 45s where available... ------------- Live in stereo. |

Other way around. The TM Century version includes the cymbal crash--the Skyline version omits. Here's a crazier but better way to try to explain it. The LP version has three bars before the "dit-dit-dit-dit, dit-dit-dit-dit, dit-da-dum." The Skyline version keeps bars 1 and 2 and makes the edit just before the "dit-dit-dit-dit" sequence. The radio version (again, assuming it's TM Century) keeps 1 and 3 and edits out 2 (picking up with the cymbal crash right before 3). One of the versions may be right--it's also possible that neither version edited the 45 correctly. Got it? Good--I have a headache. :-) ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

And with Ed sending the mailing list the vinyl 45, that confirms what Grant said. The Skyline version is not the correct edit.
Nice work, folks! ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

I also don't (yet) have a Skyline account, but I will soon enough. I'm also not familiar enough with this song to discern the different versions. If Skyline does in fact have it wrong, I'd be shocked unless it was a member-edited upload that Tom Daly and crew didn't double check. ------------- Live in stereo. |

I emailed Tom a link to this topic, he has yet to respond to my email, so I'll assume he never received it, which is understandable since he's in the middle of moving. ------------- Live in stereo. |

| Tom is usually pretty good about getting things right, so maybe he knows it's not the actual 45 version. But, remember I mentioned that there IS an altrernative mix of the song out there on CD, and has been around for decades. |

John and I were discussing this tune. I'm bumping for his reference. ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

Thanks, Doug...
I was referencing the incorrect edit intially, but now that the edit is in the right spot in the intro, I made the fade from approx. 3:22.5 - 3:30. |

Not so fast, Tom. I know for a fact that the version of Madonna's "Holiday" that Skyline posted on their website a year or two ago was a new and incorrect (not to mention bad) edit from the album version. I was told Skyline claimed it was from a 45 dub, but believe me it WAS NOT. Someone played it for me. It was an incorrect custom edit of the album version passed off as a 45 dub, with one edit in the wrong place and another edit badly done. |

That's odd, I had emailed a dub of a scratchy 45 of "Holiday" a couple years back before I got a better TT.
I figured Skyline duplicated the dub I sent. |

I submitted a couple of correct edits of things that are wrong on the website months ago. Tom is very busy, and keeps having bad luck, so he probably hasn't gotten around to auditioning everything yet.
People send him things and he posts some of them pretty much as is without verification. Who knows? ------------- |

Dipping my toes in the 1977 waters here...
The LP version first appeared on Silver Eagle Records' mail-order 2-CD Dancin' The Night Away (1988). (I love this set mostly for sentimental reasons - it was the first disco compilation CD. Virtually all of the songs appear in better-sounding forms elsewhere.) The version here uses a high-generation tape source, and sounds pretty muffled. The same analog transfer is used for Priority's Mega-Hits Dance Classics Vol. 1 (1989), and also sounds pretty muffled. The LP version sounds infinitely better on Polydor's Andy Gibb (1991). This disc uses terrific-sounding source tapes (despite occasional dropouts), has great dynamic range, no noise reduction, and a very nice EQ. There are digital clones of Andy Gibb on:
Segment 1 4 beats long, not counting the three tom tom hits, ending on a downbeat Extends from 0:00.0-0:03.4 of the LP version and 45 edit Remove the 4 beats from 0:03.4 to 0:05.9 of the LP version. Oddly enough, there's a dropout on Andy Gibb at the 5.5 second mark, which is entirely edited out when you recreate the 45. Segment 2 Begins and ends on downbeats Extends from 0:03.4 to 3:32.0 of the 45 edit Extends from 0:05.9 to 3:34.5 of the LP version Fade 16 beats long Extends from 3:22.2 to 3:32.0 of the 45 edit Extends from 3:24.7 to 3:34.5 of the LP version Your mixdown will run 3:32.0 with an edit at 0:03.4. The 45 edit is properly recreated on Eric's Hard To Find 45s On CD Vol. 12 (2010). I don't hear any evidence of noise reduction on this track. I noticed that the TM Century GoldDisc version is just an early fade of the LP version, and omits the 4-beat edit of the intro. Avoid. The LP version on EMI's 5-CD Seventies Complete Vol. (1997) sounds spectacularly awful. I think it's taken from vinyl here. Avoid. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com" rel="nofollow - Crap From The Past . |
