	Really quick and going off the LP version found on the "Blue Sky - Night Thunder" CD. Timings may vary... Delete 0:00-0:04 (the single edit starts on the beat when the mandolin comes in). Delete 0:58-1:07 (the instrumental following the vocal refrain only occurs once in the single edit) Delete 1:47-1:56 (again the instrumental that follows the refrain only occurs once in the single edit) Delete 3:10-3:19 (leaving only barely a second of the banjo lick that leads into the tempo change) Delete 3:20-3:37 (the ending instrumental only occurs once and comes to a cold ending) Edited by LunarLaugh
	Listen to The Lunar Laugh!

	Interestingly, when this was re-recorded and released as a country single (where I think it did pretty well, as I recall), I think the single was the full version, without any edits like above. For a while this '80s re-recording/hit was the only one available on CD, so I bought it. It's pretty faithful to the original. It's amazing what passes for pop in the '70s passes for country in the '80s. Anyway, the '80s version grew on me and I like both pretty equally. A while ago, I edited the '70s version down to the 7" version, but kept the '80s version intact. BTW, I love this song. This is one of my favorite songs of '75.

	I was looking in the database at this song. And for all entries where it says "(original recording but not the hit recording)", I don't believe that's accurate. It's a completely different recording from the '80s that became a country hit. So (A) it wouldn't be the original recording at all. Plus, I don't feel that "re-recording" is an accurate description, as that usually refers to non-hit versions. I think it might be best to list those entries as the "hit country version from the '80s". What do you folks think?

	Perhaps "New version/country hit" might be a good descriptor. Released on the EMI America label, that new version of "Carolina In The Pines" peaked at #9 on the Billboard Country chart in August 1985. The picture sleeve for that 45 indicates "featuring John McEuen" [from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band] The song was released on the EMI America album "The Best Of Michael Martin Murphey" along with new recordings of three previous singles "Wildfire," "Cherokee Fiddle" and "Geronimo's Cadillac." The remaining 8 songs on that album were Michael's hits for the Liberty Label. The Liberty imprint transitioned to EMI America in late 1984. That same year Michael officially added his middle name and was subsequently billed as Michael Martin Murphey. "Carolina In The Pines" was Murphey's final single for EMI America before moving to Warner Brothers the following year.
