I too would be interested in the edit points as I've just made another attempt to create the 3:01 DJ edit and I'm getting stuck at the edit at 3:47. I can't find it anywhere. The lyric is "...Lady are you crying do the tears belong to me..." but I can't find that anywhere. I'm using an m4a file with a picture of the 3:01 edit. Can anyone confirm that this is indeed the 3:01 edit?]]> Fri, 13 Jan 2023 12:12:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=62449&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#62449 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=53083&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#53083 Author: eriejwg

Gordon, were you ever able to figure out the short promo
edit? I can send you instructions if you'd like.]]> Mon, 09 Dec 2019 14:10:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=53083&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#53083 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=37675&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#37675 Author: EdisonLite

I want to make the dj single edit of "My Sweet Lady" from the CD. Can anyone tell me where the edit points are, or send a copy of the edit? And I'm a bit confused -the dj edit is of the studio version, right? ]]> Sat, 18 May 2013 12:53:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=37675&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#37675 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=31479&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#31479 Author: Paul C

The version on the Very Best of Heartland CD is the live version from the An Evening With John Denver album. The database does not currently indicate this.


It's taken a long time, but I think I've finally figured this one out:

The original version appeared on the Poems, Prayers & Promises album in 1971, but was not issued as a single.

In 1975, a live version appeared on the An Evening With John Denver album. This version was also issued as the B-side of "Thank God I'm A Country Boy". This is the version on the Heartland Very Best Of CD

A brand new studio version appeared on the Greatest Hits, Volume 2 album in 1977. This version was released as a single and is the hit version.

What confused me for a long time is that I own a number of Joel Whitburn publications that state that the 1977 hit version and the B-side of "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" are the same, which is incorrect.]]> Fri, 09 Sep 2011 14:09:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=31479&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#31479 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=20397&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#20397 Author: Hykker

The only copy of this I have is on the B side of "Thank God I'm A Country Boy", it's listed as 4:43.

I'm not familiar with the later release of this song to know if it's the same recording or not.

This is not the first time RCA re-issued a former Denver B side. "Sunshine On My Shoulders" was originally the B side of "I'd Rather Be A Cowboy" (the 1974 re-release was an edit, the original was the album version).]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 10:58:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=20397&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#20397 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=20396&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#20396 Author: Todd Ireland

Thanks for looking into this, Pat. I still have two questions:

1) Is the long DJ 45 identical to the commercial 45?
2) If not, then what version is on the Very Best of (Heartland 3146) CD?

Here is the information I can add regarding My Sweet Lady -- My dj 45 which runs (4:47) is identical to the version found on the Essential cd which is also identical to the version found on John Denver's "Greatest Hits Volume 2". ]]> Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:51:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=20382&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#20382 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=20371&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#20371 Author: eriejwg

Is it possible that the 4:47 version from The Essential John Denver is what's on Pat's DJ 45?

If I was able to recreate and match the 3:01 DJ edit that was on my short promo 45 and also, I presume, Jim's short promo 45 from the Essential track, then it may be the commercial/long DJ 45 version.]]> Sat, 03 Jan 2009 18:13:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=20371&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#20371 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=20367&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#20367 Author: Todd Ireland

Here's an interesting situation... John recently e-mailed me his digital re-creation of the 3:01 radio edit of "Sweet Lady". He informs me he downloaded the track from Denver's "Essential" CD on Napster and was able to edit it to match the DJ 45.

I have what the database refers to as the "original version" of the song on The John Denver Collection (RCA 67993) and Definitive All-Time Greatest Hits (RCA/BMG 60764) CDs. I also have what is presumed to be the "hit" version running 4:46 on "Very Best of" (Heartland 3146). None of these discs contain the same recording as the one on the 3:01 DJ edit. So I guess this must mean that the 4:47 version on the "Essentials" CD (RCA/Legacy 703153) consists of yet another different recording of "Sweet Lady" (this being the one the short DJ 45 edit is based on)?

I don't have the Essentials CD so, Pat, could you please verify if this disc features a different recording than the other CDs in the database?]]> Sat, 03 Jan 2009 15:43:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=20367&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#20367 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=20131&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#20131 Author: Todd Ireland

For what it's worth, I've tried to digitally re-create the 3:01 DJ edit of John Denver's "My Sweet Lady" from CD, but am finding it cannot be done. I first attempted to use the "hit version" appearing on Denver's Very Best of compilation (Heartland 3146) as my CD source, but curiously it is a different recording than the radio edit (the latter contains no live audience applause either, unlike the former). I then also compared the DJ edit to the "non-hit" original version that's more commonly found on CD and they too are different recordings. So does anyone know where the 3:01 version of "My Sweet Lady" on the promo 45 originated from?]]> Sun, 21 Dec 2008 15:51:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1530&PID=20131&title=my-sweet-lady-john-denver#20131
