I have an edit of WTIL which is similar to the original mixes but a lot shorter, with a fade-out. It also has kinda 'live' drums a little like the Land of Oz version. I've mentioned it before on this list, as well as Mancentral. It was on an old bootleg CD called 'Bring the Beat Back' which was unfortunately heat damaged when mislaid down the back of a radiator at my local post sorting office! I never claimed compensation on the registered delivery (the CDR cost me £30.00 long before all these MP3s were available!) as it wasn't an, ahem, 'official' release
 
I ripped an MP3 of this way back and made it available to the AudioGalaxy KLF group (Thomas *might* remember) but I am trying to clean it up a little more as the heat damage caused some clicking and distortion. Oddly on some players it sounds a lot better so I might try a line-in recording with Soundforge or whatever. Unfortunately the index markers on the CD were also wrong so a couple of seconds of the start are actually on the end of the previous CD track! So there is a little work to be done, then I will upload to the ftp with, hopefully, some other 'new' stuff. Although not radically different, I prefer it to most of the pre-stadium house versions, it has heavy phasing and tweakin a little like the Power remix

That'll be a hard one as it's so repetitive yet subtly different.  I'm approaching this as if I were to edit it myself, so we'll probably argue (good naturally) over a few points.
 
My first thought would be to launch into the meat of the track early on - cutting out everything from about 16s to 57sec. Keep a little of the intro, but then the beat kicks in early on.  It sounds like you compressed the first minute into about 30s, which is more pleasing to listen to.
 
I think, however, your edit into what I call the meat of the track at 32s sounds a little abrupt but I've messed with it and I'm not sure how to make to sound smoother with what you've done to the first half minute of the track.  In that respect I think my edit works better; more natural sounding.
 
More later.
