[Slowhand] 3 Cream questions

[Luke Pacholski]

Ok, I did some more listening and asked a few questions. Here's the deal:

The rest of the "jam" section exists as an edit piece, and had to be
edited in to the regular LP mix for the DCC and TWTD. Because the
"jam" is still fading as the ending starts, an edit couldn't be made
there. So the DCC and TWTD handled the issue in two different ways.
DCC simply edited out 2 bars, while on TWTD, 2 bars were copied and
pasted. Here's the analysis again, renumbered, including the (short)
LP mix:

LP: (1) jam (fades early) -> (2) 2 bars (4/4, 4/4; 8 beats) -> (3) 2
bars (4/4, 3/4; 7 beats) -> (4) 2 bars (4/4, 4/4; 8 beats) -> (5) "It
is a cold winter..."

DCC: (1) jam -> (3) 2 bars (4/4, 3/4; 7 beats) -> (4) 2 bars (4/4,
4/4; 8 beats) -> (5) "It is a cold winter..."

TWTD: (1) jam -> (4) 2 bars (4/4, 4/4; 8 beats) -> (3) 2 bars (4/4,
3/4; 7 beats) -> (4) 2 bars (4/4, 4/4; 8 beats) -> (5) "It is a cold
winter..."

Because #2 starts as the jam is still fading, it couldn't be used with
the cold ending of the extended jam. DCC just edited right into #3,
while on TWTD, #4 was copied and inserted right after the jam to mimic
#2.

Does that make sense?

Good catch!
