   There is a DJ reservice of the single that has the music 

beat instead of the bleep or the word edited out. My 

brother owns a copy of that 45 and it times in at 3:18, 

so it maybe the same edit of the b side of the stock 45. 

The Top 40 stations in Houston KILT and KRBE played the 

3:18 version instead of the bleep version because it was 

in stereo on issue. Hope I did not dupe a post. It still 

sounded a little weird though with the half second music 

drop in.

	I think there may be confusion about the stock 45 containing an edit on the B-side. In the database, there is a CD called It's Your Thing (Sony Music Special Products 22187). The CD lists the song as being "Part 2," but this is not correct. It's actually the stock 45 A-side with the first "s" word replaced by music (in a clunky way). The edit on this CD is not the same as the promo 45. They have edited in a different music segment to cover up the offending word. To my knowledge, all copies of the stock 45 with "Part 2" on the B-side simply contain the last 2:50 of the full-length LP version, which has no verses at all.
