Paul McCartney DJ Edits

Only a few of Paul McCartney's "DJ Edits" have appeared on CD, and I was wondering if anyone here was expert enough to know how one would go about cutting down the CD versions to recreate the edits for songs like "Band On The Run", "Jet", "Mull Of Kintyre" and "London Town".

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

I was able to get the accurate "Silly Love Songs" Edit thanks to an older thread here. This is a great forum!

I do not.

It's a US promo with a 3:31 edit of Mull Of Kintyre on side A and a 3:19 edit of Girl's School on side B (which HAS appeared on CD)

I'm hoping someone here is able to help. These are the only ones I need descriptions for:


Jet (DJ Edit) 2:49
Band On The Run (DJ Edit) 3:50
Mull Of Kintyre (DJ Edit) 3:31
London Town (DJ Edit) 3:48



Edited to remove:
Let 'Em In (DJ Edit) 3:43 < thanks to sriv94 :)

I believe the DJ edit for "Let 'Em In" cuts from the trombone solo to the last "sister Susie" refrain, then fades during the second of the three snare drum/flute interludes at the end.

I just found out that Paul McCartney's "Jet" has TWO completely different DJ edits. One runs (2:49) as Pat has listed in his book, and the other runs right around (2:42). The difference between the two is that the longer one has a :04 intro and fades out at the end, while the shorter one has an :08 intro and ends cold like the LP version.

I have a friend who used to own both copies, and he's checking to see if he still has the cold-ending promo to provide the deadwax info.

Or I can check tonight as well. Skyline has a version of the promo on their site, so I can check there (doesn't mean it's right, of course). I have the song on two McCartney CDs--All The Best and Wingspan, and in both cases the tune runs (5:08) and ends, well, sorta cold (one long held note at the end that quiets down eventually). I had always assumed that that was the commercial copy (I seem to recall the radio version fading, but 30 year memories can play tricks on me :) ).
