Both sides of my promo 45 feature different edits of the LP Version. One side has the same edited, listed (4:15), actual (4:16) stereo version that appears on the stock 45. But the other side of my promo 45, which states "Compatible Stereo", but is absolutely in mono, includes a "more severely" edited version, with a listed time of (3:49) and an actual time of (3:51). I noticed right off that the bat that this shorter DJ 45 version clearly edits out the last part of his middle-of-the-song "scat" vocal (the best part, in my opinion!) Still, both sides DO end the same way, with a long-resolving final note. At some point, I'll have the very busy Aaron K give this one a listen, and I'm certain he'll be able to provide further, more specific "DJ 45 short version" details.

Aaron:
When you received Jim's 3:49 version, could you post edit points? This way, I'll have both the the 4:16 and 3:51 versions in my library...

Jim is absolutely correct about the middle "scat" section being shortened on the promo 45. There is only one edit, which removes the section from 1:55 to 2:21. The edit is on the downbeat. Wow, has it been 7+ years since this was first posted?!?
