...Just tell me when I'm posting too frequently. :)

Not having access to the one CD with the 45 edit, I used a YouTube video as my guide to chop up the album version of Shalamar's 1983 hit, "Dead Giveaway."

There are two edits:

1:55 - 2:33 = 38.725 sec in length

(after the 1st cut is made)
3:14 - 3:53 = 38.73 sec in length

That resulted in a 3:44 length file when let run to absolute silence on that last note's echo... which nearly matches the 45 length in the database.

The mix sounds identical, to my ears.

Hope this helps somebody!
