Is the Backless album (LP/CD) the only place (besides the RSO 45) to find the song "Watch Out For Lucy" by Clapton and his band? Even though this b-side barely reached the Billboard top 40 in 1979 it failed to reach the top 40 on Cash Box and Record World so it's not listed in the database. ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

| As far as I know, the Backless CD is the only CD on which the song has been issued. The 45 version cannot be recreated from the album version. On the album version, there is a countoff that overlaps the instrumental intro. The countoff was mixed out of the 45 version. |

I searched too and thanks for the info. Surprised the 45 version is not on CD. ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

Can the 45 intro be edited on to the CD version and edited to
match the 45? ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA Celebrating 29 years as a full-time wedding & special event DJ! |

I wondered that as well. Maybe Aaron can shed some light on this! ------------- Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD." |

Well, technically, no. The 45 is a unique mix from start to finish, but the only differences I can detect are that the harmonica and female background vocalist are both a tad bit lower in the mix. The two mixes are very, very close, though. ------------- Aaron Kannowski http://www.uptownsound.com" rel="nofollow - Uptown Sound http://www.919thepeak.com" rel="nofollow - 91.9 The Peak - Classic Hip Hop |

I know I heard a pristine 45 dub from Mark Matthews. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA Celebrating 29 years as a full-time wedding & special event DJ! |

To save time this is not in the DB and should be: The 45 runs 3:15. It is a unique mix and that is based on Mark M's dub and confirmed by the 45 prof's dub. It is not available on CD. The LP version is on Backless and runs 3:26 and is available on the following US CD's.
