   Wanted to inquire about 2 of the tracks on Gordon's original list, since I'm working on some Neil Diamond tracks today.

"Say Maybe" - 45 label says 3:55 / digital length is 4:07.

"Beautiful Noise" - 45 label says 3:14 / digital length is 3:26 or so.

	In regards to "Beautiful Noise", I suspected from John's DJ 45 timing that the edits were in the intro. Looks like I am correct. Turns out, the stereo DJ/commercial 45 version is on the In My Lifetime box set. To create the mono DJ 45, simply edit out an additional 9 seconds from the 3:14 version. "Say Maybe" runs about 2 seconds slower than the LP, and is simply an earlier fade to 3:55. Edited by eriejwg

	"Don't Think...Feel" is a catchy tune that just missed hitting the top 40 in 1976. Too bad it never gets included on any of the dozens of compilations released the last three decades on CD. All I've seen is the LP version and never the 45 edit.
