Eddie Money - Walk On Water

   My copy of the 1955-1996 book lists this as "LP length".  

It should actually be "LP version", because the 45 has 

one edit and a slightly early fade, compared to the LP 

version.  (This may have been addressed in some other 

thread, but I couldn't find it.)

I have the 45 version on CD on a promo sampler called 

More New Stuff: Columbia Records Retail Sampler 

(Columbia CSK 1296, 1988), where it has a printed time of 

4:20 and an actual run time of 4:14, and runs at 118.1 

BPM throughout.

The easiest place to find the LP version is on the 1989 

CD Greatest Hits Sound Of Money, which is very 

inexpensive nowadays, and sounds very good.  (There's a 

differently EQ'd digital clone on the 2-CD Read The 

Hits compilation from 1994.)  It runs 4:37 on this 

disc, and runs at 119.0 BPM throughout.  I'll give 

editing instructions using that the GH disc's timings:

Keep 0:00.0 to 3:31.0 of the LP version.

Edit on the snare hit that begins the 2-beat fill before 

the downbeat.

Remove the 32 beats from 3:31.0 to 3:47.1.

Keep 3:47.1 to 4:28 (this piece extends into the LP 

version fade).

Put a 24-beat fade from 4:17 to 4:28.

Your mixdown will run about 4:11 with an edit at 3:31 and 

a 24-beat fade from 4:00 to 4:11.

I didn't check the actual 45, but if you really want to 

match the versin on More New Stuff, you can slow 

down the LP version by 0.7%.
