Discogs has a pretty exhaustive listing or the song. No evidence of a 5:58 promo. But, radio was serviced a 2:58 / 6:49 DJ copy which I just saw on Discogs.

Someone sent me the radio 2:58 edit years ago.
Forget from whom.(had not joined this forum yet)
Pretty bad edit, honestly.
Can see why they replaced it with commercial 45 edit.
Have also never seen the 5:58 promo copy either.

I mistakenly thought, as I emailed Hykker back, that the promo edit faded early but checking, it's the same fade, so just two cuts, slightly leaving a brief part as mentioned as heard on the 5:58 and LP 6:50 lengths and only missing on the 3:33 length hit single. Otherwise this DJ and the hit ones (intro, the intact lyrics) are the same. :) [only several times years ago heard this, though I've heard for MANY times on radio the same year (1970)'s "Are You Ready" DJ edit by PG&E, which is a DRASTICALLY changed edit. ;)]

Oh...Most of my hard crashed and I lost the file..please send again..

I was sent a dub of the promo edit back in 2011. I never
really was a fan of the way it was edited on the promo 45
so I ended up deleting the file I created. I ended up
going with the 3:33 commercial 45 version as my go to copy
of the song.

Thank you for bringing this up, as I have never to my memory ever heard that promo edit and wonder how it differs, at what point, form the 3:33 hit single edit that we all know and love so well...one of the posters mentioned the middle inmstrumental part otherwise on LP and the 5:58 version only, but what part? I've HEARD the nearly 7 minute long version and there are five edits in the instrumental part, the major one being in the uptempo part of the instrumental organ solo that was spliced into the 3:33 length single which also lacked the immediate post-vocal stop and start and repeat note parts (and the stock 45 also has a shorter segue lead in back to the chorus than the 5:58/6:50 verisons.;)

Still don't know what was removed exactly from the under-3 minute DJ promo or it's aviable to hear (like on YouTube).

No, Steve, that's fine. I believe you. Now I guess the only remaining question
is does anyone own an actual US promo 45 that runs (5:58)?

Bill, I consider you to be one of the very top
authorities here on Pat's
board. Do you happen to own actual US stock/promo (5:58)
copies for
"Green-Eyed Lady", or are you going from memory on it?
Just curious.

I'm not Bill, but I have a stock 5:58 copy that's a U.S.
Liberty release. I can send you a label scan if you'd
like.

I can't remember now if it was stock or the promo but I think I sent it to Pat Downey, it was on his "want list" at the time. Pat?
