Black Promo CD

[zoe1271]

Does anyone have a flac / lossless rip of this promo CD? I'm looking for this single version of Black to include on a comp. I'm guessing this version does not have the last few clips of "Why Go" like it does on the album.

[Norah]

If the only difference is the run in with Why Go you could just edit that out.

[Norah]

Wait, unless they overlap each other in which case you can't.

Yep, that's why.

[Kaius]

Good work, chud

[Norah]

Hey fuck you.

[LetMeSleep]

You could always edit the RVM intro onto the original Ten version.

Totally different mix (and mastering), though (and no good from an archival perspective).

I've never seen a rip of the Black promo circulating from memory, I'd be interested to know what's on it too.

I kinda feel like you could still edit it out, with some clever snipping and splicing... I'll test this out later.

Yeah the opening riff repeats itself a few times before anything else kicks in, giving you the tools you'll need.

Update: I'm too lazy to test this out.

I played around with it a bit in Audacity but couldn't get it right. I found the promo CD online and bought it, like the good old days.

Now if I could only find the original mix/master of "Once" without the "Master/Slave" intro. I don't think it exists. I like the remixes on RVM and Redux, but the mastering makes my ears bleed.

I know, I'd love to find a copy of that too.

Definitely update once you get the Black promo!

The promo CD arrived today. The single version is 5:33 long but the sleeve says 5:43. They basically cut the first 10 seconds of the song. I love it though; it sounds great.

[Birds in Hell]

Oh, weird. So does it just begin from where the rest of the band kicks in?

[zoe1271]

No, it starts just before Eddie's "ay ayaaaya..."

[Birds in Hell]

Ah, gotcha.
