I have researched this for years.  Read every scrap of printed information I could find, scrutinized labels, and listened to old pirate copies of the acetate over and over again in 2nd-hand record shops.  Other collectors the world over (and even on this board) have probably been driven insane by this topic too, but I want to set it down in black and white to exorcise my own obsession with it.

Assuming you have a copy of the original HR mix (or Martin Bartosik's lovingly restored recreation), the result is this:

The track is simply an excerpt of Part 2.  Not a remix, not a re-recording.  You cut into the track at 2:36:05 and cut out of it at 5:46:40, including a 10-second fade-out.

The 8-second discrepancy is on account of the acetate being pressed at a slightly faster pitch.  The corrected pitch makes the track 3:10:35 in duration.

And there you have it.  On to the next obsession.

I didn't even know that part had a name. Thanks for the info, Bassman. I don't really understand it all, but the fact that it's 3AM for me makes a good excuse, I think.
