SHALAMAR - "Dancing In The Sheets"

the db states that the commercial and dj/promo 45 runs
3:44, but there are two actual 45's with different run
times.....this should be updated in the db...

The 3:44 promo 45 is an edit of the Jellybean 12" Remix. The full 12" mix is available domestically on the "15th Anniversary Edition" of the Footloose soundtrack. (It seems that the edited remix was also used as the main UK 45, and also
may have been released on later pressings of the U.S. commercial 45.)

To recreate the edit from the CD version of the 12" Remix, it's three snips and a fade:
1. Delete 31.247 seconds from the first true downbeat of the song (after the triple-snare intro) at 0:01.141 to the downbeat at 0:32.388.
2. Delete 7.814 seconds from 2:43.851 to 2:51.665. (This edit is in the midst of a stretch of repetitive instrumental vamping, so you may be able to adjust the edit point if you need, but this one felt the smoothest to me.)
3. Delete from about 3:46 to end of file, and apply a bell curve fade beginning at about 3:31, concurrent with the electric guitar lick that kicks in with the triple-snare run.

The Youtube video of the 45 being played referenced earlier in the chain is no longer available, but there are some others to be found. This is the one I used to help validate
the edits.

Hi Gene,

Sorry if the wording in my above post is confusing. The 15th Anniv. CD also
has the full 12" mix, not the edited remix. I will update for clarity when I go
back to my desktop (posting from my phone tends to break all my
formatting).
