Does anyone have a run time of both the commercial and promo 45/CD single for this song? I know it's not in the database, but the version on the Reflections set runs about 30 seconds shorter than any other versions I've seen.

+1 I was interested in knowing if the 45 is simply an early fade of the
album version or is edited throuhgout the track. Labels on both
promo and commercial vinyl 7" show a 3:58 run time.

It's an edit. It's towards the end, but I'm not exactly sure where. I'll
check a bit later on.

Sriv94, if you could check actual run time that would be great as
well, I wonder if the Reflections version that eriejwg mentions is the
true 45 or an edit for that compilation.

I don't have the 45, Johann, but the version on Reflections jibes with my memory of what I heard on the radio. The edit strips out (3:18) to
(3:39) of the LP version, then is faded about eight or nine seconds early.

And feel free to call me Doug. Only the good people do. :)

So-is the version on "Reflections" the actual single version (in that the 45's both reflect an inaccurate run time)? (3:58 (45) vs 4:27 (Reflections version).

Promo 45 AS1-9619 (deadwax AS 1 9619 SA-1 on both sides) has a listed time of 3:58 and actual time of 4:22. It is Stereo both sides.

Interesting. Wonder if the 3:58 edit is reflective of
the stock 45 or is a 'neither."

Or, whatever the edit length was on Reflections
was. I don't have the file in my library anymore.

Based on Smokin' Tom's post, I'm not so sure a (3:58) edit exists. I'm almost positive the (4:22) version is the 45 version.

The UK 7" commercial single features the 4:22 edit (label
shows 4:20). It is misleading as there is no mention of
what version is included on the label and it reads "taken
from the album" instead of "original version from the
album". It seems 3:58 is just a misprinted time on the US
single and the 4:22 running is the true 45 version.

4:22 is the true 45 version. Ive noticed many label times for Carly Simon are inaccurate to the actual running times.

An off-topic comment to an off-topic thread :)

My exposure to "The Stuff That Dreams Are Made of" was constantly seeing the music video on VH-1 - it was an excerpt from her "Live at Martha's Vineyard" concert, which was
released commercially at the same time.

And when I bought the "Coming Around Again" CD especially for this song, I was surprised at how slow the studio-version of "Stuff That Dreams ..." was, compared to the live version I
was so used to. In fact, it was so much slower that I didn't even use it for my collection - I used the live version, probably taking it from my VHS tape. Though I really wished the studio
version was, to put it simply, as fast as the live version.

Well, decades later, we now have things like Izotope RX, so I took the studio version from CD and increased the BPM to be the BPM of the live version, without changing the pitch at all
(which would have made Carly sound like a chipmunk). So I now finally have what I was hoping I would find on that CD I bought back around '87! :)
