I recently purchased the Crystal Gayle "GREATEST HITS" CD on Capitol/
EMI and noticed that the song "WHEN I DREAM" is much different than
the version I have on the "CLASSIC CRYSTAL" also on EMI.

Since I never owned the original 45, could someone please tell me
which CD has the original 45 version.

Thanks.

I don't have either the 45 or Greatest Hits, but I can make an educated
guess based upon songs lengths & the albums the song appeared on.

Gayle originally released When I Dream (time (2:48) on her debut album.
However, it was re-recorded and released as a single and album track on her
"When I Dream" album (time 3:26). Since "Classic Crystal" followed a year
after that song being released as a single and the song on that lp is 3:26,
"Classic Crystal" probably contains the hit version, while "Greatest Hits"
contains the original (but non-hit) version since it is shown to clock in at
2:48.
