Because Verve/MGM believed listeners [and disc jockeys] wouldn't "sit through" the original 5:22 version featured on the album if it were released on "45" (especially Joao's Portugese lyrics and most of Stan's sax solo in the middle) in order for the song to become a hit, it was edited into its "choice parts"...and did become a hit record. Eventually, the full-length version WAS issued on "45" in the '80s....
the saddest memory in my life is related to this song <3 <3

Thanks for the info. I have several GB of music labeled "Stan Getz" but I never tried to figure it out. :-) Although, this is the album I like best.
