"Love Light in Flight" - Stevie Wonder

Yes Todd, "Love Light In Flight" is on the Stevie Wonder box set. I actually just bought a copy of the 45(comes in a nice looking picture sleeve also) for my collection since I didn't previously own one. The box set has the full LP version. To my knowledge the single edit has never been issued on CD.

I do have the LP version on The Woman in Red CD soundtrack so I'd be willing to try to edit it to match the 45 version if I had a copy of the vinyl 45 to compare it with. (Hint, hint) ;-)

The 45 edit of "Love Light In Flight" runs 4:36, while the full length version runs 6:54. I haven't A/B'ed them to compare where the edit points are, but I'm pretty sure the single version can be extracted from the long version. There is a US promo only 12" remix of this track that is a bit shorter than the soundtrack version running 6:30, and is quite different. I'm certain that the 45 edit is not taken from this version.

John graciously sent me a dub of the 45 version from his "Love Light In Flight" promo 45. I used it as a guide for re-creating the 45 version from my "Woman In Red" soundtrack CD (by the way, the copy I used was the early Japan-for-US pressing on Motown MCD06108MD, which is not listed in the database).

The re-creation involves an out-of-sequence edit using the following sections of the LP version:

00:00:00 - 00:00:07.386
00:00:16.215 - 00:03:57.749
00:04:15.408 - 00:04:18.838
00:05:29.525 - 00:05:32.564
00:04:21.898 - 00:05:04.105
Apply a fade beginning at 00:04:53.938 (or 10.166 seconds from the end of the final edit)

The final cut should have edit points at:
00:00:07.386
00:03:48.919
00:03:52.349
00:03:55.388
fade begins at 00:04:27.429

Thanks again John!

I have a 45 edit of it made from a CD that someone gave me a couple of years ago.
