This one has two edits and an early fade.
If you're editing the LP version as you go:
Remove 0:06.6 to 0:18.2 (on the synth note -- the one that gets cut is low; the one you'll replace it with is up one octave and louder).
Remove 1:01.8 to 1:30.7 (this segment begins with two three-quarter notes, then a quick, high-tone two-beat, before the "So our mission...to bring a melody -- Ringin' voices...sing sweet harmony," which all gets cut out; the 45 instead jumps right from the first three-quarter note to the background vox singing "Ahhh" then the chorus "For you here's a song...").
Start your fade around 3:10 and end it around 3:29 or so (label says 3:30 -- I'd say it's a tad shorter than that).
For editing all at once on the LP version (same notes as above, just different times):
Remove 0:06.6 to 0:18.2
Remove 1:13.5 to 1:42.4
Start fade at 3:48-ish -- end at 4:09-ish
