Kool And The Gang - Misled

   I noticed that the 1955-1996 edition of Pat's book says that the 4:57 versions on the Emergency and Celebration: Best Of CDs are LP length.

Actually, there's an edit near the end of the song.

The 45 can be recreated from the LP version with an edit at 3:37 and a 16-beat sinusoidal fade at 3:54.  The 45 does indeed run 4:06, not 3:59 as printed on the label - this is noted in the book.

The actual 45 is also about 0.4% faster than the LP version on CD.  (122.4/122.3 BPM at beginning/end of 45, 121.8 BPM throughout for LP version on Celebration CD)

The database should be LP version, not LP length.  (Again, I apologize if this is already in the database.)

	No, it still says "length." Excellent catch! Thanks for passing this info along. I'm going to check Very Best Of to see if they have the correct version with the edit. I'll post my findings shortly.

	Very Best Of does have an edit at (3:37) on "Misled," and it is also slightly faster than the LP version, so it looks like that disc has the correct 45 version. Edited by aaronk
