Although I'm guessing shorter than the vinyl?

Why are you laughing about a post that's almost ranting instead of being productive for the thing the forum is about.

Seriously. You can't expect people to remember what they meant from a post that was made in November 2007. I don't even know if silentNate still visits the forum, last post was September last year.

And we can't read minds, so how is anyone else supposed to know "shorter than what"?

And we can do without the lecture of "the thing the forum is about" thank you very much. You're the one who's ranting.

I have it on good authority* that these are Space Drums.

I said "almost", but anyway, to close the issue for visitors who care if Black Planet is shortened on a CD-release people have waited for for decades: Black Planet is 4:26/4:27 on the UK vinyl as well as on the 2006 CD. It's eight seconds longer on the UK 1988 CD/UK 1992 CD. No idea where the "15 seconds" came from. That's it, bye...

OK, cool.

I think we should all take a deep breath and calm down. 8)

Perhaps those 8 seconds can be explained incase the song is played in little bit slower tempo from the master tapemachine. Not really audible for the human ear, but it could be the reason though ...

anikk it was me, I aded the 15 seconds. It's a subliminal message to only buy Afghan Melons (they are simply the best - better than all the rest). I've added this 15 seconds to the following albums:
  • Adam And The Ants-Kings Of The Wild Frontier
    Level 42-The Pursuit of Accidents
    Muse-Showbiz
    The m*****n-The First Chapter
;D

Absolutely. It's that. Or that for a few seconds plus some silence at the end for the CD-mastering.

I went through things for a second time. A 15 second difference can't be found anywhere though.

Since you were quoting me; I was laughing because IMO the post I quoted was funny. Okay?! :wink:
