I'm trying to find audio of the 45 to compare with the
album version to see what was edited. IIRC, quite a bit.
I'm also curious to know if there was a promo/DJ copy of
the song as well. Anybody know?

Both the 45 edit and the LP version are on CD. Do you need a file of either or both for your comparison Tim?

The DJ 45 was mono/stereo; listed times 7:19/7:19. The stereo side was the same as the 7:19-listed commercial 45.

Santi,
I didn't realize the 45 edit was on CD. Yes, what I was
looking for was a way to compare the two. I do have the
album version.
Tim

The 45 version is on over a dozen CD releases (the most recent being Now That's What I Call Classic Rock Hits which includes the 45 version of Heart's Crazy On You as well). Send me a PM with your email address.

Interestingly, when this song was a popular hit (fall of 1976), WFIL radio in Philadelphia played a very different edit of this song than the one on the 45. I don't know if it was a custom edit for or by the Capitol Cities radio chain or if it was made by someone at WFIL - they weren't averse to creating their own edits if they didn't like the "official" version. Or maybe it was an alternative serviced by A&M? I don't know.
(WFIL in 1971 and for years afterwards played a unique edit of "Beginnings" by Chicago that, if it had been the 45, wouldn't bring anywhere near the well-deserved scorn that the official Columbia single edit brings.)
Things I remember about the WFIL edit that differ from the 45:
- It includes either all three verses (with no solo between the second and third verses) or the first and third verses. The 45, if memory serves, has the first and second verses and cut the third.
- It contains the entire keyboard solo, cutting just before Frampton introduces the soloist.
- The first vocals heard during the long ending are the words "Do you feel like we do?" coming through the talkbox, with the loud cheer immediately afterwards. (This part starts almost exactly at the 10:00 point of the LP version. This is not the "Do you feel... do you feel... like we do?" portion as heard on the 45; that is around 8:02 of the LP version.) The stock 45 doesn't even contain this part of the song! From there, the song continues unedited until the very end, with the audience fading early, of course.

I wish I had known that before I spent months tracking down a clean 45 to do a needledrop of it. I didn't like the result, so I recreated the 45 edit from the long CD version.
