beastie boys "you gotta fight..."

On the License To Ill CD, the "yeahhhh" is on the tail end of the previous track titled "Girls." I take it that 45s have the "yeahhhh" on the beginning? Would this qualify as a 45/LP distinction since the difference is merely how the song is tracked on the CD?

In other words, do CDs without the "yeahhhh" get an "LP version" designator or a "neither"?

Well, technically, the LP version does not have the "yeahhhh" at the beginning; it's at the end of "Girls." That was why I posed the question. Technically, all CDs without the "yeahhhh" could be the LP version.

Wow, these 45/LP version distinctions seem to be getting trickier everyday!

How about this suggestion... For each CD that doesn't contain the "yeeahhh" intro, there could be a comment stating: (missing the :02 intro). As for the parent LP/CD License to Ill, this could consist of the following comment: (the :02 intro heard on the commercial 45 appears at the end of the previous track on this CD).

Would that work?   

I suppose that will be up to Pat on how he wants to qualify it, but that's a good suggestion, Todd. Ed, to answer your question, if you cue up the License To Ill CD to the track, you won't hear the "yeahhhh."

That's odd.

I ran all my copies through Trader's Little Helper (same type of analysis).

These came up as being 99% or 100% certain that they're not from an mp3 source:

A List Disc 37
Def Jam Music Group Ten Year Anniversary Disc 3
Everything '80s Disc 1
Gold And Platinum Vol. 4
Guitar Rock Vol. 18 The Heavy '80s
Hard Rocking '80s
Heart Of Soul
Rap's Biggest Hits
Read The Hits Disc 1
Licensed To Ill (this is the first release of the CD, back from 1986)
Selections From The Sounds Of Science

This one comes up as having a 95% probability that it's from an mp3 source:

Sounds Of The Eighties Vol. 28 Rolling Stone Collection 1986-1987

That's not really possible, because that Rolling Stone disc is from 1995, before mp3s existed.

I'd say that there were some EQ choices that fooled the software into thinking that there was mp3 compression at some point. (For example, cutting off all frequencies higher than some threshold frequency, etc.)
