"Maneater" - Hall & Oates

   For the editors in the room, any way to extrapolate the DJ edit of "Maneater" from the commercial single, or are they two completely different mixes?

I'll hang up and listen for my answer.  :)

	Yes, it can be done. The promo 45 edit is two edits and an early fade, I believe. One edit is on the intro, and the other is in the middle of the horn solo. If I get a moment in the next couple days, I'll try to post the info. Feel free to send me a reminder if I forget :)

	Will do. I was trying to go by hazy memory, but I could never get either edit to sound right (especially in the sax break).

	There's a corner record shop here, and every once in a while I find a gem. Managed to pick up a near mint DJ 45 of this song 2 years ago for $2. :) Doug, will send u a copy for evaluation.

	John indeed shot it my way. As I told him in E-mail, not sure why I had such trouble making this edit (when you hear the finshed product it seems so simple). Thanks for everyone's help.

	While you can physically make the short DJ edit you may have to add a piece of reverb to the drum hit on the first edit to get the real DJ version. I created it once and the only way to get it to match the real DJ edit was to add that reverb.

	Does anyone remember if the promo is much slower than the 45? Making my edits and comparing against my promo 45 version. The version I am using to edit is from the import "Starting All Over Again...Best Of" and seems to be running pretty quickly as compared to the promo?

	The promo 45 is the same speed as the commercial 45 and the LP. The version on Starting All Over Again runs about 1.7% too fast. I have that collection, and while it's got a great track selection, be aware that some of the tracks run too fast.

	Thanks so much for that info. I couldn't understand why it was so much faster. I will use another source for my Hall & Oates edits. -Jeff

	Does this version appear on CD anywhere?
