Because the two edit points are in different keys.

In the part he re-sang, Neil shifted the line through the
key change in a way that would make the edit work. ]]> Thu, 22 Apr 2021 23:49:53 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=883&PID=58027&title=neil-diamond-september-morn#58027 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=883&PID=58001&title=neil-diamond-september-morn#58001 Author: Jody Thornton

Wow! I can 100% confirm I had never heard that before. That’s quite
the over zealous edit: I’d think the stock single was good enough for
radio. The overdub was jarring (likely because the song came out
when I was 10 - yet it took until I was 51 to hear it)

Thank you so much for sharing it.

I don't think I've ever heard this shorter remix/edit.   
I've only heard the stock 45-rpm version played on the
radio in 1980. I've searched YouTube. Does anyone have
a link to this edited version anywhere?

Yes. Strip the opening piano up until the plink right before the "Stay for just a while" lyric and you have the stock 45.]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2011 07:15:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=883&PID=31295&title=neil-diamond-september-morn#31295 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=883&PID=31294&title=neil-diamond-september-morn#31294 Author: NightAire

Actually, I have a pretty good idea why. If you listen to the LP version, that particular line is in a spot where the song doesn't change key. Later in the song, when the key change occurs, there is no vocal. (This is the spot where the edit occurs.) In order to make the DJ edit sound correct, Neil had to resing that one line over top of the instrumental portion where the edit occurs.]]> Sat, 29 Sep 2007 14:34:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=883&PID=11684&title=neil-diamond-september-morn#11684
