the tracked once were re released about 2 years ago,
but the first pressing (from 88) is not tracked.
peace

That's what i did. Same with TRC download and all of the Audi Shows from last year.

There are many free sound editor programs available for download that will do the job just fine. If you want, I can make you a copy of mine, Brian.

bought my copy of the album a couple of years ago in holland. it was tracked. i too believed that this was normal. guess not.

i'm toni from barcelona and i have 2 cd's tracked
the first as usa only 4 dj's
the second as the germany edition

the german releases since - i guess 1994 - are tracked grafix

This is true.. the Japanese Lovesexy is indexed.

I live in the UK &
I've got the tracked & untracked versions.
There is no real way to tell them apart,
the tracked version still says
"Songs are in a continuous sequence" on the CD.

The only difference between the two I have is
on the back cover in the top left hand corner
there is the catalogue number.

On the original untracked version this is written in
script-like Lovesexy writing, and says
925 720-2
France WE 851

On the new tracked version this is written in a normal
sans-serif font (like helvetica or arial), and says
7599-25720-2
WE 835

Whether this difference is a reliable way of distinguishing
the two I can't say for certain, but is is the ONLY
difference between the two I've got.

Damn! Gotta get me a tracked copy! I hate it I can't paly Anna Stesia on a continuous loop!

I have the one track copy of Lovesexy, and damm it is annoying.
I have now made a tracked Minidisc copy (and it is easy peasy to make compared to tracking cdrs).
I suppose I could go out and get the new tracked version...but I'm too cheap.

I personally like mine the way it is.To me it's all good.I also got it on tape too.All one track.

Foreign releases were tracked. I have one that was made in Germany that has tracks for each song

then you got fucked!

Tracking a cd is easy. Get cdwav at www.cdwav.com. it takes awhile to figure it out, but once you do, you can take any continuous wav and make into separate tracks, then put it together and burn the cd. That's how I tracked all the NPG ahdio shows. No skips in between tracks either. If you have any questions, just orgnote me and ask. I can do it for you too.

Oops, that link doesn't work. The software you want is called cdwav, anyway.

There's a few here that work just fine:

When Lovesexy was originally released in the US it was only comercially available in a continuous track version. The only copies that were tracked at that time were the promo copies, which could be differentiated from the regular retail version by a promotional "DJ" sticker on the jewel case.

However, a few years ago tracked versions were released throughout Europe by Warner Bros.

Anyone with a tracked version:

What's that music between GLAM SLAM and ANNA STESIA?
Is it indexed as a SEGUE or is it part of one of the songs?
Which one?

I made a new CDR of Lovesexy & trcked myself!
As for:

It is the end of the song Galm Slam, not a part in between.
I have a copy of Lovesexy on vinyl and you can clearly
see that the seperation groove between Glam Slam & Anna Stesia comes after that synth part has played out.
To me it always seemed obvious that it was the end of
Glam Slam. It is like the opening of the parachute after
freefalling and Anna Stesia starts when the feet touch the ground
Sometimes I like hearing Glam Slam with or without the little part at the end, so when I was making my new cd of Lovesexy, I put that little part on it's own track. Now I can program it out anytime I don't want to hear it!

nope ... no segue ... anna stesia starts with the piano intro!! (btw ... on my tracked version there is also the "songs are in a continuous sequence" on the CD

grafix

I tracked my own Lovesexy CD -- it's not difficult, especially if you have a Mac with SoundEdit or SoundStudio Pro.

PANDURITO said:

That's actually the outro of Glam Slam
It was still present on the 7" version
(even though the rest of the song was edited)

gnations said:

Is soundforge a wave editor? What is a good one that's cheap or free?

DMSR said:

theC
yeah that one or cool edit(fav).Takes a little practice but once you master it you can do wonders.

On the advise of our fellow Orger - Natsume - I went to Downloads.com and downloaded CDex (for free) which allows you to burn a partial track. That's how I cut apart my Lovesexy CD.
