I finally acquired a 1980, Nemperor
7527 promo 45 copy. Both sides state
stereo, "AA-AF", "ZS9 7527-3", and a listed time of
(2:56) on the label.
Actual contents? Something I wasn't expecting:
One side runs (2:55), with deadwax of "AE-ZS9-7527-
3".
The other side runs (2:38), with deadwax of "AF-ZS9-
7527-3".
So my promo copy has the best and worst of both
worlds! I'm afraid this
might now mean that the (2:38) "Chipmunk Version"
qualifies as an
official radio edit! Makes me wonder if either Steve's
and Tom's promo
copies are the same, and they just happened to play
the correct-speed
side first, or if their copies included the correct
speed versions on both
sides. Other than playing them/reading the deadwax
info, there's no way
to tell which side of my copy is which speed, going by
just the labels.

With my copy now in storage, it's hard to say what
mine actually has, but I believe I had played both
sides and that they were both at the normal speed. I
see a listing on 45cat for the promo 45 which gives
1979 copyrights on the labels but has AA-AF on them
and a label time of 2:56 on both sides... perhaps this
has the chipmunk version on both sides.

After seeing this thread, I checked my own
stock 45. Like Paul Haney's early in the
thread, it says 2:56 on the label but
plays closer to 2:54. The label has the
title on two lines (WHAT I / LIKE ABOUT
YOU).
The trail-off is AB-ZS9-7527-3 with
STERLING also stamped in the wax and what
looks like a stamped P for CBS's Pitman,
NJ pressing plant to the left of the
matrix number.
