Is it possible that the 4:47 version from The Essential John Denver is what's on Pat's DJ 45?
If I was able to recreate and match the 3:01 DJ edit that was on my short promo 45 and also, I presume, Jim's short promo 45 from the Essential track, then it may be the commercial/long DJ 45 version. |

Here is the information I can add regarding My Sweet Lady -- My dj 45 which runs (4:47) is identical to the version found on the Essential cd which is also identical to the version found on John Denver's "Greatest Hits Volume 2".

Thanks for looking into this, Pat. I still have two questions:
1) Is the long DJ 45 identical to the commercial 45? 2) If not, then what version is on the Very Best of (Heartland 3146) CD? Once we have answers to these questions, I think we may need to add database comments for each of the song's CD appearances running 4:46-4:48 since they do not all consist of the same version. |

The only copy of this I have is on the B side of "Thank God I'm A Country Boy", it's listed as 4:43.
I'm not familiar with the later release of this song to know if it's the same recording or not. This is not the first time RCA re-issued a former Denver B side. "Sunshine On My Shoulders" was originally the B side of "I'd Rather Be A Cowboy" (the 1974 re-release was an edit, the original was the album version). |

The version on the Very Best of Heartland CD is the live version from the An Evening With John Denver album. The database does not currently indicate this. It's taken a long time, but I think I've finally figured this one out: The original version appeared on the Poems, Prayers & Promises album in 1971, but was not issued as a single. In 1975, a live version appeared on the An Evening With John Denver album. This version was also issued as the B-side of "Thank God I'm A Country Boy". This is the version on the Heartland Very Best Of CD A brand new studio version appeared on the Greatest Hits, Volume 2 album in 1977. This version was released as a single and is the hit version. What confused me for a long time is that I own a number of Joel Whitburn publications that state that the 1977 hit version and the B-side of "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" are the same, which is incorrect. |

I want to make the dj single edit of "My Sweet Lady" from the CD. Can anyone tell me where the edit points are, or send a copy of the edit? And I'm a bit confused -the dj edit is of the studio version, right?

Gordon, were you ever able to figure out the short promo
edit? I can send you instructions if you'd like. |

I too would be interested in the edit points as I've just made another attempt to create the 3:01 DJ edit and I'm getting stuck at the edit at 3:47. I can't find it anywhere. The lyric is "...Lady are you crying do the tears belong to me..." but I can't find that anywhere. I'm using an m4a file with a picture of the 3:01 edit. Can anyone confirm that this is indeed the 3:01 edit?
