stampeders sweet city woman

my commercial 45 for the stampeders song "sweet city woman" issued as bell 45120 states the run time as 3:15 and does indeed run that length and is just a fade of the full length 3:25 version.....if you fade for 0:10 from 3:05 to 3:15 you'll effectively re-create the true vinyl 45 version....this 45 run time info s/b added to the db.....

I synced my copy of the mono stock Bell 45 with the Rhino Have A Nice Day vol. 6 stereo track, summed to mono and slowed down to match the 45's speed and couldn't hear any differences between the two during that first eleven seconds. The results were the same between the Bell stock 45 and the track from the Bell 6068 Sweet City Woman vinyl LP.

As long as I have that same Bell LP on the turntable, here's a note for collectors of original American vinyl issues of Cancon top 40: "Carry Me," the lead-off track from the album, was the Stampeders' first Canadian hit and was issued as a single by U.S. Polydor (MWC was the band's longtime Canadian label.) The mix on the mono U.S. 45 is comparatively sparse, while the stereo mix on the U.S. Bell 6068 LP has added instrumentation, in evidence from the very first note.

Unfortunately, I don't know what my CD source is, but the difference seems to come between 9-11 seconds. It doesn't seem to be a record skip and the CD source seems to be tape. Very odd.

45 is sped up a bit. And also a bit different due to the
banjo strums. MWC Canada is Music World Creations, the
label who recorded this originally and released it in
Canada. Also, there is a French version. I hope to find a
MWC original 45 in English. No styrene. Bell styrene is
very delicate, and among the worst.
