Both my commercial 45 (which is stereo), and my promo 45 (which is mono), have a listed time of (3:40), but both have an actual time of (3:36). The only database CD currently listing this time, and not the much more common (3:39-3:40) length, is on the remastered edition of "Singles 1969-73." To my ear, I am 99% sure that the 45 has simply been sped up, which likely accounts for this time difference.

in addition to the speed issue...the intro on the cd
versions are in the wrong channel as compared to the vinyl
45...the vinyl 45 has the piano intro in the right channel
while cd versions from "classics vol 2" and "singles" have
the into in the left channel....

Well, it's no secret that Richard Carpenter
constantly tinkered with all of the Carpenters
material since the dawn of the CD age...

I know its a pipe dream, but I would love to see a domestic true singles collection of the Carpenters.
If not there's always vinyl! Happy New Year gentlemen!
