I've come across a 2:37 radio edit of "Magic Man" that is not just an early fade; instead it cuts out approx. 2:26.2 - 5:16.7 from the album version, leaving the cold ending. I like it better than the early fade version.

Is this an actual record or just a file? Could have been someone's house edit. I agree, they could have done better than just an early fade. |

It was probably either an in-house or TM Century edit.
Wikipedia's article for "Magic Man" lists a 3:29 "single edit" and says "The album version of 'Magic Man' features an over-two-minute instrumental break which consists of a guitar solo and usage of a Minimoog synthesizer, while the single version of the song edits out most of this break, cutting it down from 5:28 to 3:29." But I can't find any proof of this 3:29 version existing. Another custom radio edit? |

Have never seen a 3:29 edit on any collector sites, so
has to be in house. WLS did a in house edit of "Magic Man" that runs 3:57. Nice job with edit. Here it is recreated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UwQfAZYzSg |

Although Wikipedia is a wonderful resource for information - I use it all the time - when it comes to more specific facts about things such as our hobby, it is sometimes in error. It is written by people, some of those not-too-well informed. I had actually updated the entry for KC & The Sunshine Band - Get Down Tonight to include info about the 45. Someone removed it, because I could not cite a source "publication". I told him about this website, and our collective/expert knowledge, etc., but he said it was not acceptable. I am no longer updating wikipedia... Edited by davidclark |

Dave, sometimes Wikipedia thrives on false info and the
arrogance is hand in hand with their attitude. They do not like correction, no matter what their goals say they are! |
