Why did god create single edits? I'll tell you why, to piss people off, that's why. They're good for nothing, and they just suck

Evidence

Get Back
Let it Be
Light My Fire
Mother (Lennon)


Need I go on?

Hate me, do it and do it again.
The reason they shortened them was because AM radio didn't play songs over 3 minutes or something. Hence Light My Fire was cut a TON.

But now-a-days, the radio doesn't even play radio edits.

The single versions of Let it Be and Get Back are so inferior to the album masters. Fact.

"Get Back" and "Let It Be" aren't really single edits, just different versions of the songs produced by two different people. Nothing was technically edited out, unless you count the guitar solo or that weird delayed drumming in "Let It Be". Plus the singles were released before the album versions, so does that really make them single edits, or is it album edits?

But since this is a discussion about those version, I'll go ahead and say I prefer those two to the album cuts anyway. They are quite superior, in my opinion.

And you're absolutely right. Radio does suck in these parts, and I do plan to never purposely listen to it again. :D

I call it the single edit, because the album one is superior, and the single one is an "edit" even though if you wanna be technical that's not true, because the single came first, but the single version of let it be's solo is pretty crappy, nothing compared to the raw emotion of the album master. The get back, the "Get back Loretta, your mom is waiting for you" isn't anything compared to the little commentary at the end and beginning. So therefore, the album edits> the single versions

Raw emotion coupled with a few sour notes... :unsure:

The version of "Let It Be" from Anthology 3 is not half bad at all. :ph43r:

I Want to Break Free by Queen has a better single version than the album version on The Works, in my opinion. Also the single version of the Kinks' Lola is different than the album version. The single version says "Cherry Cola", while the album version says "Coca-Cola". I think I like the Coca-Cola version better. Other than that, single edits suck. Know what sucks more? Different versions of albums in different countries...

i agree with that, but overall i like the single version because it seems to flow the best

just put the album solo back in and it would be perfect

the naked version is terrible tho

You want real cutting? On a version of vinyl called Pocket Discs, singles that were about the size of CDs, the folks cut Hey Jude down to three minutes!
