The running time on this as listed in the database can range from 2:40 to 2:47. Whitburn lists 2:45. What is the actual 45 running time?

For what it is worth, I only have the Metromedia reissue of the 45 and it runs (2:45).

I thought I'd bump this thread back up to the head of the pack to see if anyone can come up with actual vinyl 45 and/or LP run time info for Bobby Sherman's "La La La (If I Had You)".

My commercial 45, which is stereo, has a listed time of (2:44) and an actual time of (2:45).

Thanks, Jim! Now if anyone has Bobby Sherman's 1970 vinyl LP Here Comes Bobby and can time "La La La (If I Had You)" on it, we can determine if there's a 45 length/LP length issue here. But if the song's 2:46 run time on the 1995 CD reissue of Here Comes Bobby on K-Tel 3428 is any indication, then it would appear the 45 and LP run about the same length.

I thought I'd bump this thread back up to the front of the line since the database was never updated to reflect that the commercial 45 and LP time of Bobby Sherman's "La La La (If I Had You)", which is 2:45. As Brian pointed out earlier, CD run times for this song range from 2:40 to 2:47.

I'm not sure what is going on with the 2:40 versions on CD, I don't own those. I did a comparison of the song comparing the mono DJ side to a stereo stock to the K-Tel "Here
Comes Bobby CD".
Unlike "Little Woman" which has a big speed difference on the mono DJ side, and sounds like a dedicated mono mix, "La La" sounds like a fold down on the mono DJ
copy, and runs only .1% faster than the stereo stock. Might just be a dubbing machine difference. But it wouldn't surprise me if they notched up the speed slightly for AM
radio.
The K-Tel "Here Comes Bobby" CD needs to be sped up .4% to match the DJ Mono single pitch, .3% to match the stereo stock copy.. so the CD is slightly slow.
K-Tel - Dominion licenses these tracks so they are the parent label at this point, they may have dubbed these tracks from tape without referencing the 45s.
