It's an edit.

Here are editing instructions, using the timing of the LP version from Ultimate Collection:

Delete the 32 beats starting on the word "do" (from the line "you can do it") from about 3:30 to about 3:48 of the LP version.

Add a fade from about 3:53 (starting on the word "do") to about 4:07 of the LP version, which corresponds to 3:35 to 3:49 after you've made the edit.

Speed up by 0.5%.

(I reverse-engineered Aaron's recreation. Aaron gets all the credit here.)

"Anyone ever found the version running 3:48 on CD. BTW, what
is the difference between the short and long versions? Is the
short version just an early fade or an edit?"

Bumping this up to see if anyone has an answer.

Jim, just to confirm our stock copy indeed states a time of (3:34) and runs (3:48).]]> Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:07:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4658&PID=21368&title=dobie-grayyou-can-do-it#21368 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4658&PID=21312&title=dobie-grayyou-can-do-it#21312 Author: jimct
