"Money" - Pink Floyd

I also took the album version and selected the offending word in Adobe Audition and used the "vocal remover" feature in the software (basically a center channel canceler) and it was one of the cleanest removals I've heard.

A local classic rock station just cut out the two beats and it sounded VERY strange to my ears.

I don't know anything about the edit, though... someone else will have to help with that.

Here's a link to a censored mono promo that runs 3:12

In view of its mono configuration, I'm not sure which radio formats Capitol was targeting with the promo EP, but at least the college stations were serviced with it. With the album and the several "oops, we goofed" promo 45 mailings we'd already received at mine, we didn't see any need in programming the EP.

The crackly pressing quality was also a determining factor.

Here's the promo EP on Discogs:

Even with iHeart, a lot of entities that buy ad time on radio have rather "conservative" or "Christian"
values (or at least that's how they'd like the public to perceive them) so they tend to put the pressure
on the program directors when it comes to so-called profanity in the music that is broadcast. They
make their money from the ads and not from the music so that's the hand that doesn't get bitten.
