I believe I have this Q107 edit and I agree, it does
sound good. To recreate, cut 3:50 through 5:15 on the
downbeat then fade 6:57 through 7:07. Final length ends
up being 5:42.

Oh yes... edits of this.

The one the oldies station here plays is very similar to
one I heard when I lived in NY. I can't tell the exact
time because I always hear it in the car. It sounds like
it's more or less the single length, but then edits to the
finale/cold end. Must be a smooth edit because I can
never tell quite where it is.

I was wondering if such an edit was ever serviced (like
from TM Century) or are these stations just playing a
custom edit fed to them by the parent conglomerate?

I took a cross country road trip in Sept. '84 and remember
hearing the album version on a few stations (though I don't
recall which ones anymore).
I was doing a weekend shift on Q-106 in Claremont, N.H.
(maybe it was still WECM then) that
summer and we'd play the album version at night.

I have "Purple Rain" on TM's GoldDisc 132 (the first issue with red
font), and the disc has both the single length and full album version.
The single length on this disc runs longer than the actual 45 by about
10 seconds, but they corrected this error on the GoldDisc3 issue (black
font), where it runs about 4:04.
