Has anyone on the board ever tried to create the promo 45 version of "Like A Rock". Just picked up a cheap copy of the promo 45 and there is a weird edit at the end that is driving me nuts.

There is an out-of-sequence edit on the promo version for "Like A Rock." It's right near the end before the DJ 45 fades; they took a very short (but famous) section of the song and spliced it into an earlier part. It's the ad lib "ooooohhhh like a rock" that was heard in the Chevy truck commercial. If they had just done an early fade, that part would not have appeared on the DJ 45.

At about 4:10, the DJ version goes like this:

Carrying the weight
Like a rock
Oooooohhhhh like a rock
Oh, like a rock
The sun upon my skin

It's not a terribly difficult edit to do, but it's hard to do without hearing an actual copy of it.
