I'm sending you a file for comparison, Ron.

Thanks to Aaron, I can confirm that the US 45 starts at 109.3 BPM and ends at 109.1 BPM, with a tiny continuous drift in tempo from start to finish.
That matches the Turtles soundtrack version.

I should also note that the version on Hard To Find 45s On CD Vol. 15 starts at 107.8 BPM and ends at 107.6 BPM, which is about 1.4% too slow.

Ron, you probably noticed already, but my 45 copy is pressed very slightly off-center. (I didn't correct it when I dubbed it.)

Funny, my stock copy from 1985 had the same problem!
For that reason, I was overjoyed to get this one on CD in 1993, on the Turtles III soundtrack.

Thought I'd turn a critical ear on Eric's Hard To Find 45s On CD Vol. 15 80s Essentials And Beyond (2016).- RED RED WINE - UB40 (1988) - probably a digital clone of Labour Of Love; this is a differently-EQ'd and dynamically expanded (less compression) digital clone of Time-Life's Sounds Of The Eighties Vol. 24 Everything '80s (2002)
- IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE - Roxette (1990) - differently-EQ'd digital clone of Virgin EMI PolyGram UK's 2-CD Now 18 (1990), with intro trimmed, and faded early
- I'M GONNA BE (500 MILES) - Proclaimers (1993) - sound on par with other CDs with the song
- TAKE YOUR TIME (DO IT RIGHT) - S.O.S. Band (1980) - The real 45 version, for the first time anywhere! Sounds great, too.
- STEPPIN' OUT - Joe Jackson (1982) - differently-EQ'd digital clone of Rhino's Like Omigod (2002)
- THEY DON'T KNOW - Tracey Ullman (1984) - sound on par with other CDs with the song
- TARZAN BOY - Baltimora (1985) - runs 1.6% slower and a little shorter than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III soundtrack, which matches the 45 exactly
- WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE - Cliff Richard (1979) - first appearance of the 45 edit, sound on par with Razor & Tie Cliff Richard collection
- MOONLIGHT SHADOW - Mike Oldfield (1983) - sounds fine (I don't really know the song)
- NOTHING'S GONNA CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU - Glenn Medeiros (1987) - runs a second or two shorter than the version on Sony's compilation Feel The Love
- ONE MORE TRY - Timmy T. (1990) - differently-EQ'd digital clone of LP version on Quality's Time After Time (1991), same as "Radio version" on promo CD single
- JOEY - Concrete Blonde (1990) - sound on par with other CDs with the song
- NIGHTSHIFT - Commodores (1985) - differently-EQ'd digital clone of Hitsville U.S.A. Vol. 2 (1993) but somehow doesn't clip and fades a few seconds earlier
- PASS THE DUTCHIE - Musical Youth (1982) - differently-EQ'd digital clone of Priority's Rock Of The '80s Vol. 9 (1993)
- SATURDAY LOVE - Alexander O'Neal Featuring Cherrelle (1986) - sounds very nice
- WOULD I LIE TO YOU - Charles And Eddie (1992) - differently-EQ'd digital clone of "Radio Edit LP Version" on promo CD single
- AFTER ALL - Cher And Peter Cetera (1989) - seems to be new analog transfer; not based on Hitmakers
- INTO THE NIGHT - Benny Mardones (1980) - promo 45 version
- RIGHT HERE WAITING - Richard Marx (1989) - differently-EQ'd digital clone of Greatest Hits (1997)
- I'D DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE (BUT I WON'T DO THAT) - Meat Loaf (1993) - differently-EQ'd digital clone of Hot Hits Pop Vol. 23 (1993) and, probably, promo CD single
Overall, the sound on this CD is flawless. Great dynamic range, nice EQ, no noise reduction anywhere, and no truncations on the fades. I couldn't have done it any better myself.
The true 45 version of "Take Your Time (Do It Right)" alone is worth the price of the CD.
Really, quite an outstanding job, and big kudos to Mark, Aaron, Ed, Jim, and everyone else involved with the project.
