Andy Gibb-"Time Is Time"

The edit point of "Time Is Time"
3:19.714-3:40.810 (remove) From: "give" of "Time is time don't give me no wrong" lyric.
(I used the U.S. "Greatest Hits" vinyl LP.)

I just checked my copy of the 20th Century Masters CD and the matrix number printed on the disc hub is 314 589 0602 02.

Ok, I'm listening to the ending of "Time Is Time" on this CD more carefully and from a technical standpoint it really could be considered a fadeout. At the 3:41 mark after Gibb (almost incoherently) sings "don't give me no wrong", the final electric guitar strum and hi-hat cymbal are struck and during the song's remaining 17 seconds the keyboard trails off with Gibb dramatically crooning one final "give me no wrong" before the instrumentation slowly dies out.

The 45 essentially has the same ending, but faded out several seconds sooner. I hope this helps clear things up.

Many stations I've worked at have referred to this as a "cool" ending.

My copy of "20th Century Masters" runs 3:58, the same as the "Greatest Hits" vinyl LP and both fade out.

Thanks for clearing that up. I interpreted Pat's post to mean that it's the early fade. The vinyl LP "Greatest Hits" obviously has the full LP version (same as 20th Century Masters), unlike the CD "greatest hits" (self-titled).
