Wang Chung - To Live And Die in L.A.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Stalled at #41 nationally but I heard it a lot in the NY 

area, and bought the 45.  It did make the database and 

seems only the LP version has ever been on CD so I'll 

post the simple editing instructions to make the 45 

version. 

LP version runs about (4:52) while the 45 has a listed 

(3:48) and an actual (3:49). It's 2 edits and an early 

fade. 

My edit uses the parent album / soundtrack CD. The edits 

shorten the choruses by half. 

First cut from 1:18 - 1:40. The edit is on the snare/clap 

beat just after the words "wonder why in LA". 

Then in that file cut 3:16 - 3:38. This edit is on the 

snare beat just before the words "...to live and die in 

LA". 

Then create a quick fade from 3:41 to 3:49. It's almost 

gone by 3:48, but the last faint audio is at 3:49.
