Trying to pinpoint the edits for the promo version. Anyone have any ideas (pretty sure there are two edits--one during the intro and another toward the end, but I'm not sure)?

Doug: I will shoot you out a dub of my DJ 45 short v as soon as I can. You'll then be able to research/locate the exact edit points yourself, my friend.

My commercial 45 has a listed time of (3:58), but an actual time of (4:01).

Jim, I presume that your commercial 45 is the second issue with the longer "Swayin' To The Music" title (Big Tree 16094.) I have that also, along with two copies of the first issue on Soul City 008 as "Slow Dancin'." Here are the timings on the mono/stereo Soul City promo:
Mono - listed time (3:25), actual time (3:32). Stereo - listed time (3:58), actual time (4:02). I don't have the Big Tree promo, but the second edit at 2:43 on the mono Soul City promo sounds very awkward. Here are the edit points: 1. Delete intro segment from :06.369 to :11.909. 2. Delete segment from 2:43.264 to 3:09.802. Although not "correct," for a more natural-sounding second edit in mono: 1. (same as #1 above) 2. Delete segment from 2:45.746 to 3:12.276.

First off, Yah Shure, I was at like (4:01.9) on the actual time of my Big Tree commercial 45 for this, so I'm very comfortable going with the (4:02) you got on your pre-Big Tree Soul City 45 as well. I also believe your "iffy quality" short version comments are valid - so much so, my evidence is that when Big Tree picked the song up for national distribution, their promo 45 had the (listed 3:48; actual 4:02) version on BOTH sides of it, eschewing that Soul City early promo 45 short version entirely. Although FYI, we'd already gotten copies of this early promo 45 sent to our station some weeks earlier, so that shorter edit was indeed available as a 1977 radio airplay option.

Jim, we seem to have been on the same page: the Soul City clocked in at 4:02.8, but (4:02) will suffice. Just as a point of clarification, the Soul City record was nationally distributed through independent distributors. The Big Tree deal moved the distribution to WEA.
The odd mono edit on "Slow Dancin'" wasn't the first questionable thing that Soul City had done. White label promo copies of the Rivers single that had preceded it by a few months ("Ashes And Sand," Soul City 007, #96) had just been sent to the distributors, when it was discovered that the wrong take had been used. The 150 copies our distributorship had been sent were quickly recalled... all but three copies, that is. :) The rest were destroyed, and the silver, black and white-labelled replacements arrived soon thereafter.

I appreciate your scanned 45 label photos as always, Yah Shure. And it sounds like you might potentially have a valuable collector's item with that white label "Ashes and Sand" DJ 45!
Now, does anyone recall hearing or playing the short promo 45 edit of "Slow Dancin' (Swayin' to the Music)" on the radio? |

Pretty sure WLS in Chicago played the radio edit (although I think they actually carted up the stock 45 version first, then switched). |

If anybody has a digital copy of the promo edit of "Swayin' To The Music", I'd love to hear it!
