Little River Band - Help Is On Its Way

   I have searched but surprisingly I can't find an existing thread for this song.

The database states that dj copies of the 45 run 3:24, while commercial copies run 4:04.

Is the dj copy an early fade or an edit?  I only have the 4:04 version on CD so I'd like to recreate the short version.  Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

	Wish I knew the answer. I'd be interested in the specifics on this one as well.

	It's an edit. Several small ones throughout.
	Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken.

	Hi Doug, Do you remember where the edits are at?

	John was kind enough to share his DJ 45 replication as a template (I only have stock copies of the 45.) The following replication is based on the original (12-track) Little River Band Greatest Hits CD (Capitol CDP 7 46021 2). It needed just a very slight increase in speed to match that of the DJ 45. There are three nip-and-tuck edits (times are approximate): 1. Delete the 8.9-second segment from 00:04.7 to 00:13.7. 2. Delete the 8.975-second segment from 1:56.39 to 2:05.365. 3. Delete the 8.948-second segment from 2:32.8 to 2:41.75. Fade from 3:15 to 3:23.4.

	Thanks to everyone who chimed in on this one. Your help is appreciated. (I've only just caught up on your responses today as I have been on vacation since my initial post).
