King In London ), "Caldonia", but is listed as running 3:20 (as opposed to 4:00 on the original release) with all of the personnel listed as on the first release except Green. A note is included in the liner notes: "At the request of a participating artist, this is a shortened version of the master originally released." His playing was deleted from the mix, apparently at Green's own insistence, a sad statement to his career--and state of mind--eclipse."

I found out that this thread has previously been discussedd here, on the 'Ledge'. Sorry that I missed it, and bothered everyone by bringing it up again. I appreciate all of the new (to me) information that was offered. Thanks to the information provided, I managed to locate copies on Vinyl & CD. I was intrigued by Peter's request to remove his Guitar Solo, and as a crazed Collector, happy to learn of this. Thanks again, to everyone who helped.
Cheers, Don
