My 12" single of "Major Tom" by Peter Schilling has a bunch of incorrect run times printed on the label, which made me wonder about the 45. Edtop40 just notified me that the 45 also incorrectly states (3:58), but it actually runs (4:11).
There are two CDs in the database that list "45 version but :10 longer" while they are actually the correct 45 version and they aren't really long at all. Those CDs are VH1 - More of The Big 80's and The 80s Pop Culture Box both on Rhino.

the caassingle "smells like teen spirit" by nirvana on dgc 19050 lists on the cassingle's face that it is the "edit" version and lists the run time as 4:30.........incorrect.........it runs 5:01 like the cd/lp version.......

Some inaccuracies I noticed on the following singles from Whitney Houston's "My Love Is Your Love" album.
The promo CD single for the song "My Love Is Your Love" (ASCD-3707) states on its back and CD itself a radio edit with a running time of 4:04.
But upon listening to the CD, that track runs for 4:23, same as the album version.
The exact same case with another single from that album:
"I Learned From The Best" promo CD (ASCD-3603) states a 4:09 radio edit, but it actually contains the 4:21 album version.
Little more accurate here but still a discrepancy:
The promo CD for "Heartbreak Hotel" (ASCD-3601) lists a radio mix of the song. In its denomination it is correct, the track is edited from the album version which is 4:41.
But the running time of the radio mix is listed as 3:59 on both back inlay and CD, while it plays for 4:06 minutes.
"It's Not Right But It's Ok":
I don't have the promo CD so maybe someone else can tell us if there are also discrepancies on it (I bet there are since they are found on the rest of the promo singles).
But there are discrepancies on the commercial 3 track CD single.
Track 1 states "Original Version" 4:15. Upon playing the CD, it actually runs for 4:25.
Also, I believe it has been incorrectly labeled original version, since the album version is 4:52 long.
Again, I don't own the promo CD, but I suspect the so called original version on this single is actually the radio edit.

Since your 45 states CH-3004-AS I would bet that you have a stereo 45 while I have a mono 45 but why would the stereo version be shorter than the mono version? Are you sure this is a US pressing of the 45?

OK Ed, I have just bought a stereo commercial copy of "Get Dancin'" and guess what, it runs (3:48) so there are at least 3 different versions of this 45 floating around!

Ambrosia - Holdin' On To Yesterday
I just finished editing the LP version down to the 45 version, and
unless the track was speeded up for the single, the 45 version times
out to 3:27, while the 45 label reads 3:19. Can anyone confirm that
the LP and 45 are the same speed?
