Friends Of Distinction-"Going In Circles"

Thankfully, as Steve jokingly opined, Pat no longer has the only copy of the
shorter, (3:40) on both sides promo 45. I have just finally picked one up;
deadwax info is exactly the same as what Pat states above. Strangely,
though, for as often as it has been referenced in this thread/how many of us
own the longer promo, existence of the listed (4:32), actual (4:25) promo 45
has never been added to the db. Pat, deadwax for the longer RCA 0204
promo is a faintly-pressed, machine stamped "WPKS 8342 5S". And, unlike
the shorter promo, the longer one has the also-charted-Hot-100 "Let
Yourself Go" on the flip side.

I already mentioned it upthread, but yes, my 4:32 DJ copy also lists LYG as the plug side.

Doug, I never replicated the short 45 version from CD, and while I do have the On The Radio Vol. 6 CD, I figured the more readily-available Rhino Soul Hits Of The '70s, Vol. 1 would provide a more useful source (which has got to be the CD I was thinking of upthread three years ago, since "Going In Circles" isn't even on any of the Nipper CDs.)

To answer your question: it is faded early, with no further edits.

Here are the steps, using the Rhino CD:

1. Swap the left and right channels.

2. Delete the 12.375-second segment from :12.728 to :25.103 (where the vocal starts.) Your results should sound smoother than the clunky-sounding edit on the short 45.

3. Fade from 3:24.225 to 3:36.712 (12.486 seconds.)

4. Stretch length by 101.678%. Final length should be 3:40.348.
