Pat:

I have some useful information for the database regarding Neil Diamond's "I'm Alive":

==> Commercial copies of this 45 run (3:23), not (3:20) as stated on the record label.

==> The song should contain the comment: (LP version) next to the Heartlight (Columbia 38359) CD listing.

==> The song should contain the comment: (fades :05 sooner than the LP version) next to the In My Lifetime Box Set (Columbia 65013 and 85665) CD listing.

Todd, Does the single version differ simply because it's an edit or are there mix differences, too? Please elaborate on this.

Gordon:

The 45 version of Neil Diamond's "I'm Alive" is an edit of the LP version. If you're using Diamond's CD Heartlight as your digital source, there are two edits. The first one occurs from 0:05.676 to 0:13.561. The second occurs from 2:39.395 to 2:55.297. This should give you a perfect re-creation of the 45. And the nice thing about this edit is the song's ending fade matches that of the vinyl 45, so you don't have to worry about doing a custom made fadeout!
