As I recall, making an edit of any kind to a song in those days was very
uncool. I personally admired the job 'RKO did on their many custom song
edits...in fact, I'd say that was a big factor in my becoming interested in
radio production.  I know I tried in vain to duplicate some of those edits
on my cheezy 1/4 track Ratshack reel-to-reel back then!
