"Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald"

Here's another one for the class.

When I started trying to make homemade edits about a year ago, one of the first ones I attempted was Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald." And I created a pretty seamless edit, however, I'm not sure whether or not I put the edit in the right place. I do know the edit occurs somewhere in the longer instrumental passage (which starts at about (4:45) of the LP version)--at least, I think it does. Anyone able to shed some light?

Give me some time and i'll find the one I did about five years ago.

   The 45 edit for the song is at approximately the 4:43 mark; just
cut out the instrumental break from 4:43 to 4:59. Then hack off the
end of the track from 5:56 on (before the instrumental riff repeats),
and put in a gradual-to-steep fade from 5:45 to the end.

Thank you Paul for the edit tip - it came out great.

Although not noted in the database, an earlier promo 45 was issued for "Wreck" that contains the 5:57 commercial 45 version (stereo/mono). In the runout groove of the mono side, it reads "RPS-1369 TCN-0135-DJ LW1".

The shorter 5:23 edit is designated by "RE1" in the runout groove. Also, the record label indicates "RE1" on the mono side and "RE1S" on the stereo side.
