"Got to Have Loving" by Don Ray

I have "Got to Have Loving" on a different disco
compilation CD. However, it's one of those collections
where all of the songs are segued together, so I can't
give you an exact run time, only that it's a little over
3:00 (according to Joel Whitburn's "Pop Annual", the
single version clocked in at [3:32]). I also have Ray's
original 1978 album, "The Garden of Love", on cassette,
but unfortunately, it's packed away at the moment, so I
can't compare the album version to the one on my disco
CD. So what should I listen for on my disco CD to
determine if it's the single version you
seek???

Yes, I realize that the version on my disco CD is not
likely the *complete* single version. However, I just
thought that if it was the right mix you were looking
for, then perhaps it might still be possible to doctor it
w/ the 4:04 version you have already, using a software
editing program??? But if the differences are mainly in
the intro (as you indicate), then I can see how the
version I have probably won't help...

Fetta, thanks for the info. That will save me having to do another edit! And 80sMusicFreak, thanks for the offer! Since I'd be getting the long version from my friend, I just didn't want to trouble two people for this. But now it looks like I can get the edit on CD.
