No, no... "easy" listening, as in carefree and don't you worry. Epic fail on my part. ;)

Point taken, Gordon, and I'm actually glad you brought that up: have you heard Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77's cover of "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing" from their 1974 Bell album, Vintage '74? You'd think Stevie had written the song with them in mind. I can't listen to Stevie's original *without* hearing that Brasil '66-bossa nova thing going on.

Actually, I always have because in the 80's, while I heard
this on the oldies station from time to time, I mostly
heard it on A/C stations. The Latin groove seems mellower
than his funk-based tunes. Either way, I always found it
irritating this got left off Stevie's best-of's at the
time.

No, I haven't heard this cover. I'll check it out. Sounds interesting.

With all this recent talk about Gordon Lightfoot, I
decided to go back and recreate the DJ edit for Carefree
Highway. I used the full 3:41 LP and commercial 45 version
from Sundown. After the 2 edits I made, (per Mark's
instructions, my file ran exactly 3:05 so I didn't need to
pitch down the file.

Perhaps, on the Sundown album the song is at it's
original pitch.

Mark's reported value of 13% of a semi-tone works out to about a 0.8% change in speed.

I would attribute it to a tape speed error in the mastering chain, and I'd recommend not taking the step of explicitly slowing down your file.

Most tape speed errors are a bit smaller than 0.8%, for what it's worth.
There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.
