My commercial 45 (confirmed as Reprise 0803, is vinyl, with deadwax of "L-6859-1A") has a listed time of (2:45), but an actual time of (3:19). Time-wise, this adjusted info now brings the song much closer to the two current database CDs featuring the song's original recording, which are both stereo, run (3:22), and likely runs slightly slower than the 45 does.

Not initially, Ed. Reprise 0803 was originally issued as "Woman Helping Man"/"I'll Know My Love." The A-side charted on Billboard's AC and Hot 100 charts on Feb. 1, 1969, but it quickly ran out of gas, limping to a #47 peak (#6 AC.)
As soon as it realized the single was stiffing, Reprise yanked the original B-side in favor of "No Not Much," which first bubbled under the same week "Woman Helping Man" peaked.
