"You Took The Words. . ." - Meat Loaf

Here's another one for the class. While trying to find out some info about the single version of Meat Loaf's "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth," I ran across a DJ reservice 45 that was available (and me without a turntable). One side had an edit that runs (3:40) according to the label, the other has the (5:04) LP version. My question is:   Is there any way to construct the (3:40) version from the (5:04) version (and was the commercial single one of those two sides, or a different version entirely)?

Thanks as always.

Sure. Where's it from, for my own edification?

EDIT: Wow. 300 posts.

That would only shave about 48 seconds off the song length (I tried making an edit last night, just chopping off the opening, and wound up with a (4:16) length).

Although not in the database, this song peaked at #39 in Billboard, in 1/79. I only own a promo 45 for this. Unlike the (3:40/5:04) promo 45 that Doug said he browsed back in this thread's initial post, my promo has a listed (3:40) timing, for both the mono and stereo sides. The actual time for both sides, however, is (3:48).

Anyone know, perhaps, where the edit occurs in the song to bring it to 3:48?
