I discovered that the single edit is included with the TM Century library, and I figured out the edit points, so here are instructions for creading the "single edit" from the LP version. By "single edit", I mean track 3 from the promo CD single. From Todd's post from 2004, here's the promo CD single info:
HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS - COUPLE DAYS OFF (EMI DPRO #04752) 1) AOR VERSION - 4:55 2) ALBUM EDIT - 3:44 3) SINGLE EDIT - 3:14 Comments: The AOR version is the same as the LP version, although it sounds like additional equalization, or EQ, was used on the AOR version to give it a hotter, brighter sound. The Album Edit and Single Edit are edits of the LP version. I have the LP version on:
Keep 0:00.0-0:08.8 of the LP version. If the downbeat after "woo" at the 1.8 second mark is beat #1, then edit on the snare at beat #20. Remove the 16 beats from 0:08.8-0:14.7. Keep 0:14.7-2:04.9 of the LP version. If the downbeat following the guitar slide at 1:54 is beat #1, then edit on the downbeat at beat #29. Remove the 32 beats from 2:04.9-2:16.7. Keep 2:16.7-3:30.3 of the LP version. Edit on the cymbal crash at 3:30.3 - it's truly a half-beat before the downbeat, but there are no drum hits at the true downbeat. Remove the 224 beats from 3:30.3-4:52.8 - that's the entire guitar solo. Cut to the two cymbal crashes that end the song. Keep 4:52.8-4:57.9 (end) of the LP version. Your mixdown should run 3:17.7 (including outro silence), with edits at 0:08.8, 1:59.0 and 3:12.6. (Note: I only have the "single edit" on a copy of the TM Century library, so I based my edit points on the TM disc.) |

There's no notation on the Discogs page for the US single as being any specific version, so does anyone here have the cassette single and can
confirm which version was used for it? I assume it was only commercially available in the US as a Cassette Single, as there is no vinyl 45 listed for it. |

The US commercial single is the "single edit" from the promo CD single.
