Big hit from 1973.

There's a 3:53 version that seems to have first appeared on Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 6 1973 (1990). It's just an early fade of the LP version, faded from 3:35 to 3:53.

It's labeled as "edit of the LP version" in the database. It probably should say "early fade of the LP version".

It's safe to say that all the other 3:50-3:53 versions are also this early fade, and are likely based on the mastering for the Time-Life disc. I can verify that the same analog transfer is used for:
  • Time-Life's Superhits Vol. 13 1973 (1992) - fade shortened and left/right channels reversed. I think all the tracks on this disc may have their left and right channels reversed. Avoid this disc if possible.
  • Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 3 1973 (1992) - identical to Superhits in every way
  • Madacy's Rock On 1973 (1996) - digitally exactly 1.1 dB quieter
That said, can anyone send me a dub of the 45? I'll be happy to post editing instructions once I reverse-engineer the 45.

Thanks to Gary for sending me a 45 dub!

This one is pretty easy. You can recreate the 45 from the LP version or the early fade. I used the timings from the LP version on Time-Life's 2-CD Body Talk Vol. 14 Love And Tenderness (1997), but any of the others should work just fine.

Segment 1
14 beats long
If the very first sound is beat #1, then count and the edit is at beat #15
Extends from 0:00.0 to 0:06.6 of the LP version and the 45 edit

Remove the 32 beats from 0:06.6 to 0:20.6.

Segment 2
482 beats long
Begins on the word "diamond"
Ends on (an absent) downbeat, a half-beat after a crash cymbal
Extends from 0:20.6 to 3:48.3 of the LP version
Extends from 0:06.6 to 3:34.3 of the 45 edit

Fade
32 beats long
Begins on the downbeat following the descending portion
Ends on (an absent) downbeat, a half-beat after a crash cymbal
Extends from 3:34.8 to 3:48.3 of the LP version
Extends from 3:20.8 to 3:34.3 of the 45 edit

Your mixdown will run 3:34.3, with an edit at 0:06.6.

Glad I could help you on the Diamond Girl 45 dub! And
your edit is right on the money! Could not tell the
difference!
