PS - Wow, I realized I brought back a thread that had its most recent post almost 13 years ago. This board really has been going on a while :)

You can do an edit like I did with Tiny Dancer by
letting the first part of the song go to 2:38 and then
edit the final two choruses starting with Hold Me closer
Tiny Dancer of the song which times out about 3:45.
A better edit than the silly fade on the promo.

Some iHeartRadio stations play an edit of "Tiny Dancer" exactly as described here as it sounds silly to fade it as nobody remembers that. I wonder if Elton had a "no edit"
clause in his contract, but Uni figured a "fade out" is not an edit, and only radio stations were supplied the fade out, stock copies were full length. K-Tel of course had no
issue with editing "Levon".

It seems unlikely that Elton would have had such a
clause in his contract so early in his career. He only
had a small handful of hits to his credit at that time
and I'm sure any airplay was better than no airplay at
all to him. Of course, as the early 1970s rolled into
the mid 1970s, he became a mega-star.

At 3:05 in this video you can hear a clip of a soundalike cover of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" by "The Realistics", whose solution to shorten the song was to abruptly skip over half of it:

On the 12/3/1990 disc of "New Gold on CD with Dick Bartley", I found Westwood One's edit of "Tiny Dancer". It jumps from the first chorus (which, as mentioned above, is more than 2½ minutes into the song) to the last, with a total length of 3:18. It perserves the original ending and is even shorter than the official early-fade DJ edit, but feels like a lot of build-up for very little payoff.
