facts of life "sometimes"

As Todd had mentioned in a earlier, related "Silvetti, Cerrone And Facts Of Life" thread, this song's only known CD appearance to date is on a first-issued-in-1995, UK Import V/A CD, entitled "Deep Down In Florida: TK Deep Soul" (Sequel NEM CD 721). I have acquired this CD. The song's audio is from a tape source, with nice sound quality, and runs (3:44). My commercial 45, confirmed as Kayvette 5128, has a listed time of (3:44) and an actual time of (3:43).   

Thank you for that additional, "Best Of" CD information for the group "Facts Of Life", Abagon. And, thanks as well for ALL of your tireless work with Todd throughout this year, for all of those many 80's songs actual 45 timings. That info was, for me, the most valuable contribution made on this Board during 2008, and I hope you are enjoying the holiday season out your way, my friend!

what we should do is get 10 of us to chip in $3.00 each and somebody buy it and copy it for all of us to have a wave file of...any takers??

Santi, are you sure Kent/Ace UK used a vinyl source for "Sometimes?" Based
on the fact that the song has already been included, from a tape source, on
at least 2 other import CDs (mastering/loudness issues or no), it just seems
to me to be totally out of character for Ace UK to have come to the "let's use
a 'Sometines' vinyl dub" conclusion this time. Now I could be wrong here. But
I own at least 75 Ace UK/Kent CDs, and I can never remember thinking that
I'd just heard a vinyl dub, even once, on any of them. I've found everything
about their CD releases to be top notch, each and every tine, that's all.

paul was kind enough to send me a file of the song
'sometimes' by facts of life from the import cd below

Sometimes (from Facts of Life 'Just the Facts - The
Complete Kayvette Recordings 1975-1978' UK import -
Southbound 147)

and the song sounds like its a vinyl transfer.....if you
listen to the fade out, with headphones, of the song
'sometimes' you can hear rasping like a record...
