Am I correct in assuming that the single version cannot be created from
the album version? I think the fade out is unique, right? Thanks. |

Rich,
According to the database, the lone 45 version entry is available on GH 1 and II. |

Digital versions contain the LP version so you'd be
better off looking for a CD copy. |

At quick listen between the 2 versions, it sounds like
an edit of the LP version to get to the ending on the 45. |

I believe there are two edits to get to the 45. ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

Didn't they restore the LP versions with later CD pressings? I think you need an original fat-box CD copy to get the single edits. |

Yes, they did. It was remastered in the late '90s when "Greatest Hits Vol III" came out and they swapped out the LP versions for most of the songs. |
