Janet Jackson - Young Love

Young Love, the debut single from the debut album by Janet Jackson, only made it to #64 on the pop charts, but was a top 10 R&B hit for the young actress & singer.

While the album version runs nearly 5 minutes, the edit is only 3:39 (according to the label). To create it only takes two edits:

1) Remove 1:30 - 1:45 (starting on the beat & the word "love").

2) Remove 3:02 - 4:05 from the newly-edited file.

No early fade is required; in fact, editing the version from the Janet Jackson CD, mine ends slightly early (again based on the label info), running 3:36.5.

My edit points are based on her lip-synch performance on American Bandstand. Solid Gold edited the middle section further, but they were doing an intro with talking over part of the song... I suspect the edit was in-house as opposed to a radio edit or something similar.

All labels, promo or commercial, on Discogs show a running time of 3:39.

I hope this helps somebody!

Wouldn't mind double-checking my edit; if you send it to me and my edit points are wrong, I'll update this post with correct edit points.

Thanks!
