Pat has all the correct lengths posted for everything involving this song in the database.

And I did finally get a 1970 promo copy, and discovered that there is a different edit point on the mono promo and the stereo re-issue that London
records put out, probably in the early 80's.

The 1970 edit point also matches the edit point on the 1974 London Special Products (Brookville Records) "English Cats and Others", which re-
channeled the edit to fake stereo. So that LP contains the original edit point.

When London records created the early 80's re-issue (guessing again the release date) they made the edit point slightly later, and didn't fade out
the song early, so that ran 3:34. The stereo was also narrowed. But they printed the time at 3:18 which matched the actual run time of the 1970
promo.

Then in the digital age, Polygram Special Products released their CD "One Hit Wonders" where apparently, somebody grabbed the early 80's reissue
tape, didn't narrow it but loaded it on to a broken reel to reel machine, so the song starts at the right speed and then quickly drags down to a way
too slow sounding transfer. But whomever threw that together probably had never heard the song and didn't know any different. Which is why it runs
3:47.

I suppose that makes it an unsuccessful attempt at re-creating the DJ edit, and runs much slower than the 45 or LP.

Interesting how many times they managed to get a single song wrong.

Thanks, Aaron.

This does create the 3:33 edit you found. But this still doesn't shorten the song to the 3:12-3:17-ish dj edit that seems to exist. Does anyone know what else to edit out (besides the guitar solo) to get the 3:12 dj edit? Or, once the guitar is edited out, is it an early fade?]]> Sat, 25 May 2013 12:54:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1905&PID=37768&title=marmaladereflections-of-my-life#37768 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1905&PID=15102&title=marmaladereflections-of-my-life#15102 Author: eriejwg

Tom:

I recently purchased a copy of the edited promo 45 of this tune on ebay (for a grand total of 99 cents plus shipping, i love finds like this), i had never heard the edited version before, but it sounds so weird now that i've heard it...

However, here's what I can report on it:

The label does state 3:12 and has DJ-DR 46191-B on it, it has Rollin' My Thing on the B side, but the dead wax does in fact read DJDR46191-B on the A side, has a Bell Sound stamp in the dead wax and a handwritten TI or T1 in the deadwax as well. It also runs 3:17.

So it looks like any record hunters trying to find the DJ edit on a stock 45 should be on the lookout for copies with DJDR46191-B in the trail out in addition to looking for copies that have the Monarch 79679 that Jim mentions above.

And conversely, some stock singles labelled as 4:18 actually contain the 3:18 promo version. I have one such copy. Indeed, it wasn't until late in the song's chart run that I even knew there was a long version of it. I was at a friend's house and his copy was the (apparently) more common 4:18 version.

Hope my questions like this don't annoy any of you...LOL.

Can the 3:12 version be recreated? Indy500 mentions a guitar solo edited out. Are there any other edit points?]]> Thu, 31 Jan 2008 09:44:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1905&PID=14283&title=marmaladereflections-of-my-life#14283
