OK, here's another for the editors. One radio edit I've had some trouble reproducing is Mike & The Mechanics' "The Living Years." Most of my major problem is figuring out where exactly to edit to smoothly get from the line "in the living years" at the end of the first verse to the "say it loud" chorus (the commercial 45 and LP have a whole other verse in between). I gues the opening keyboard riff is a little hard to nail down as well (it sounds like the part that needs to be edited on the commercial version segues right into the opening note of the DJ version).
Anyone have any success? Or better yet, anyone got it?

Just listened to Ed's mp3 of the official "edit" version, and it's another one that sounds like an intern did the splicing. Very sloppy.

For future reference, to make your own edit from the 5:30 LP version:
Start the edit at the downbeat around 0:14.5.
Then the cut is from 1:05 to 1:44. The cut is close to the fourth beat, if you start counting on the word "Years" in "Wish I could've told him/In the living years" ending the first verse. Like Aaron says, it's pretty sloppy.
