tony rich project "nobody knows

my commercial cassingle issued as laface 24115 states the version as the "radio edit" with no listed run time but actually runs 4:21....this cassingle info s/b added to the db...

Although I do not own the cassingle, I'm 99.9% certain that the no talking intro was a radio/promo edit only.

Yes. On the promo "AC edit" the :23 intro is just the instrumental.

I just pulled the promo CD singles I have for this one:

LFPCD-4115
1. Radio Edit (listed 4:22; actual 4:24)
2. Untouchables Flava Edit (listed & actual 4:21)
3. Rich Single Edit (listed & actual 4:22)
4. Eddie F.'s Untouchable Edit (listed 4:22; actual 4:23)
5. Album Instrumental (listed 5:08; actual 5:07)

LFPCD-4150
1. A/C Edit (actual 4:17)*

*This disc is a factory-pressed plain silver disc with no printing anywhere on it. The catalog number is indicated on the matrix/inner ring.

The A/C Edit takes the first :21 of the Album Instrumental and replaces the first :21 of the Radio Edit. This should've been a seamless edit, but the person who created it goofed and edited out half of a beat.

If you have the stock CD single with the Album Version and Album Instrumental, here's how to create the Radio Edit:

1. Remove the section from 4:01 to 4:23, making the edit just before the word "lonely" in both places.
2. With what you have remaining, delete from 4:24 to end.
3. Do a bell-curve fade from 4:04 to 4:24.

To create the A/C edit, starting with the radio edit:
1. Paste the first :21 seconds of the instrumental onto the same segment of the Radio Edit.
2. Remove the bongo at :21. Make the edit from the beginning of the bongo beat to the next guitar note.
