Pat, I unexpectedly discovered tonight that my commercial 45 of this, which is stereo, and has a listed time of (4:42), has an actual time of (3:37)! My deadwax is "PHILA. INT'L, then "ZS7" crossed out, then "BA-ZS7-3521-3." This is, to my knowledge, the first stereo 45 appearance of a short version for this song, as my DJ 45 short version side appears in mono.

Does anyone know what is edited out on the DJ 45 short version? Thanks in advance.

Edit occurs at (2:05) and cuts to the verse that begins "well it's time for us to be leaving, it hurts so much, it hurts so much inside..."

Seems there were two 45 pressings of this. My 45 is the
full-length album version. It may depend on which side of
the country you lived on that determined what version you
got.
