Dave, sometimes Wikipedia thrives on false info and the
arrogance is hand in hand with their attitude.
They do not like correction, no matter what their goals
say they are!

Wikipedia's article for "Magic Man" lists a 3:29 "single edit" and says "The
album version of 'Magic Man' features an over-two-minute instrumental
break which consists of a guitar solo and usage of a Minimoog synthesizer,
while the single version of the song edits out most of this break, cutting it
down from 5:28 to 3:29."

But I can't find any proof of this 3:29 version existing. Another custom radio
edit?

Although Wikipedia is a wonderful resource for information - I use it all the
time - when it comes to more specific facts about things such as our hobby,
it is sometimes in error. It is written by people, some of those not-too-well
informed.

I had actually updated the entry for KC & The Sunshine Band - Get Down
Tonight to include info about the 45. Someone removed it, because I could
not cite a source "publication". I told him about this website, and our
collective/expert knowledge, etc., but he said it was not acceptable. I am no
longer updating wikipedia...

Have never seen a 3:29 edit on any collector sites, so
has to be in house.
WLS did a in house edit of "Magic Man" that runs 3:57.
Nice job with edit.
Here it is recreated.

fade version.

Is this an actual record or just a file? Could have
been someone's house edit.
I agree, they could have done better than just an early
fade.

No, she didn't, Grant.

Further proof--here's a "Midnight Special" performance of the song from 3/4/77--well before that Greatest Hits LP came out. Check out what opens the song.

You can be as sure as you want about this, but you'll be wrong every time.

In the studio, Nancy strummed the acoustic rhythm
part that anchors �Crazy on You� on a Guild Jumbo whose
particularly high action made it
�hellish to play.� To play the song�s quasi-classical
instrumental opening section, she used a thumbpick in
conjunction with her fingers. �Because
that first part was a solo pieces [sic], I had to get the
whole thing down in one take,� says Nancy. �I didn�t want
to do a punch-in because it
would have been obvious. So by the time I got it right
all the way through I had blisters all over my fingers.
It felt like they were going to fall
off!�

The state rests, Your Honor. :)

Nope! I'm sure she meant that she didn't want to comp
the guitar piece.
