IIRC, lots of songs on those Gold & Platinum CDs were faded early.

Wasn't there a rendition of the second verse, and an instrumental section removed from the beginning on the DJ track? I always heard it start with the sax solo on the air.

Jody, that's the 45 version you're describing. It starts with a drum fill
and then goes into the sax solo. The drum fill is unique to the 45
version, so you can't simply edit the beginning off the LP version to
create it. And yes, that part is a repeat of the second verse but with
stripped down instrumentation.

Right. The drum track is on the LP, but with the tail end of the keyboard mixed in. I've heard a station start with the sax solo (but on an eighth beat before the downbeat; as soon as the sax starts basically). Probably trying to mimic the 45-rpm disc.

Thanks Aaron.
