The 45 and album versions are the same, running 3:55, plus or minus a fraction of a second for mastering speed differences. The fadeouts end at the same spot. But the 45 starts its fade much later, thus is a much faster fade.
The last vocals are "(laughter)... Feels so good... When I think of you... yeh-e-yeah". The album version begins fading on the downbeat ("1" beat if counting 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4) before the "yeh-e-yeah", and the 45 version begins fading a couple beats after that last vocal line is done.
The 45 version (YouTube link) can be found on the 1986 German compilation CD High Life - Himmlische Tophits. And maybe elsewhere, I don't know.
The album version (YouTube link) is of course on the Control album.

Hi Mike,
Interesting catch. Unfortunately, the German compilation
wouldn't appear in the database due to being an import CD.
I wonder if any other domestic CD's have the rapid fade?

So, I checked Qobuz and I don't know how it pertains to any
CD release of the album. On Qobuz, The song on
Control with a release date of February 4, 1986 has
the rapid fade like the 45. The song on Control with
the release date of January 1, 1986 has the earlier fade.

I agree that the Control CD starts fading two beats before the "yeah-ee-eah" ad-lib, which is around 3:47. The YouTube video with the 45 playing starts fading on the beat just after this ad-lib, which is about 2 seconds later. I don't know if I'd necessarily call that "much later," but given the relatively quick fade on both the Control album and the 45, I suppose that argument could be made.
