Earth, Wind & Fire-"Can’t Hide Love"

   Although not in the database, this song peaked at #39 in Billboard, in 4/76. I only own a promo 45, and both the mono & stereo sides of it have a listed and an actual time of (3:28). I have checked my "Greatest Hits" and "Best Of, Vol. I" CDs. They both feature a version more than (4:00) long, which is probably the "Gratitude" LP Version. Assuming my promo 45 has the same version that's on the commercial 45 (can anyone confirm?), and unless it's on another CD, that I don't happen to own, it seems that either an edit or a fade will be required to get the 45v for this song.

	As I recall, there was an edit in the beginning & another edit on the vamp. (Going by memory only, I never owned the 45.) Andy

	"Vamp" is a term for the vocal fade-out that is different from the chorus.

	There are two edits during the 45, and it fades earlier than the LP length. The 45 edited version doe not appear on any CD, so I had to make one for myself.
