50 Ways to Leave Your Love - Paul Simon

   The 45 version of this song is 4 seconds shorter than the LP version. Does anyone know which 4 seconds were edited out? From another post, I gathered it might be in the intro, but no one's really said. And more importantly, are there any mix differences?

	Very beginning. Cut out the first few drumbeats (not sure exactly how many off the top of my head). To my knowledge there are no differences other than that.

	If I'm not mistaken, the 45 version is already on CD.

	The 45 version is available on CD yet it runs 3 seconds short. Yah Shure was kind enough to send me a dub of the 45 which actually runs 3:30.

	If you take the LP version and remove 9.2 to 13.9, you'll have the true 45 version running 3:30.
