Michael Murphey-"Carolina In The Pines"

the vinyl 45 CAN be edited down from the 3:56 lp
version...thanks david for the great edit...

Really quick and going off the LP version found on the "Blue Sky - Night Thunder" CD. Timings may vary...

Delete 0:00-0:04 (the single edit starts on the beat when the mandolin comes in).
Delete 0:58-1:07 (the instrumental following the vocal refrain only occurs once in the single edit)
Delete 1:47-1:56 (again the instrumental that follows the refrain only occurs once in the single edit)
Delete 3:10-3:19 (leaving only barely a second of the banjo lick that leads into the tempo change)
Delete 3:20-3:37 (the ending instrumental only occurs once and comes to a cold ending)

Interestingly, when this was re-recorded and released as a country single
(where I think it did pretty well, as I recall), I think the single was the full
version, without any edits like above. For a while this '80s re-recording/hit was
the only one available on CD, so I bought it. It's pretty faithful to the original.
It's amazing what passes for pop in the '70s passes for country in the '80s.
Anyway, the '80s version grew on me and I like both pretty equally. A while
ago, I edited the '70s version down to the 7" version, but kept the '80s version
intact. BTW, I love this song. This is one of my favorite songs of '75.
