Editing "Rainy Day People" by 3 seconds kind of reminds me of Air Supply's
"All Out of Love" single which edits out about 5 or 6 seconds. I recall there
were comments here as to why bother. I certainly feel that way about "Rainy
Day People" but with "All Out of Love" they cut off the 1st half of the intro, and
though only making it shorter by a short amount, I figured Arista head Clive
Davis did it to get to the 1st verse sooner. (Personally, I prefer the longer
version).
On Manilow's "The Old Songs", for the promo 45 they do a similarly short edit
in the middle, maybe under 5 seconds, and I always thought that was
unneeded.
