CSN - Suite: Judy Blue Eyes

I just finished cutting my CD version to match the stereo 45 edit. This edit doesn't appear to exist on CD, so I figured some of you might want to try this yourself. Some of the cuts involve weird overlaps, so I'll try to describe this as clearly as possible.

Start at 0:00 on the LP, and:

1 - At (0:43) fade out on the first two beats of "hard", while fading in "hard" at (1:18).

2 - At "hard", cut from (2:01) to (2:46).

3 - Cut from (3:55) to (4:39). (This sounds messy on the 45, with a double-drum hit. I can't replicate the messiness; this sounds too clean.)

4 - Cut from the downbeat at (4:54) to "Chestnut brown canary" at (5:10).

5 - Fade out the strum on the downbeat at (5:52), while fading in the guitar licks at (6:21).

Your finished edit list should have edits at 0:43, 1:26, 2:35, 2:50, and 3:33, ending at 4:35.

And some on this board have told me that the actual 45 was mono. I'm assuming a stereo edit was not issued.

Anyone who can confirm (Jim? Ed? Pat?)?

What appears on the reissue 45? I seem to remember that on my reissue 45, this side is a stereo edit while the flip side, Marrakesh Express is mono. Unfortunately I can't double check right now as I'm in the process of packing everything up and won't get to my 45s until i get the new boxes i ordered to house my 45s.

I may have egg on my face -- I don't quite recall where my "stereo 45" source file came from, perhaps Skyline. I assumed it was that Atlantic reissue, but I can't verify that. If anyone wants to send me dubs of the mono and/or reissue 45s, I'm happy to double-check my findings for the board's edification.

Jim,

Is your reissue the older gold and black label, or the newer silver Atlantic oldies label? Reason I ask is I own a silver label reissue that is mono that I picked up maybe 15 years ago. I'm wondering if your copy may be a newer, revised edition by Atlantic (and may still be available some place)?
