Four Tops - MacArthur Park (Part 2)

   This one was only arguably a top 40 hit, peaking at #38, so I am curious to figure out what "Part 2" includes.

I see a picture of the label on Ebay, where Part 2 is listed with a time of 2:50-something (I can't read the last digit).   

Assuming you cut the album version to start at the second quasi-movement ("There will be another song for me"), it runs about 3:26, so maybe that's the break. 

Can anyone confirm?

	Thanks to Jim's dub of Pt 2, I recreated the edit as follows. Times are from the FOUREVER box set. 1. Start on the downbeat at (3:05). 2. Cut from (5:19) to (5:38) on the downbeats. The edit runs (3:07), with that edit point at (2:14). Then, the finished product should be pitched down by at 2.3%. The 45's actually slightly slower!
