My copy of the 1955-1996 book lists this as "LP length".
It should actually be "LP version", because the 45 has
one edit and a slightly early fade, compared to the LP
version. (This may have been addressed in some other
thread, but I couldn't find it.)
I have the 45 version on CD on a promo sampler called
More New Stuff: Columbia Records Retail Sampler
(Columbia CSK 1296, 1988), where it has a printed time of
4:20 and an actual run time of 4:14, and runs at 118.1
BPM throughout.
The easiest place to find the LP version is on the 1989
CD Greatest Hits Sound Of Money, which is very
inexpensive nowadays, and sounds very good. (There's a
differently EQ'd digital clone on the 2-CD Read The
Hits compilation from 1994.) It runs 4:37 on this
disc, and runs at 119.0 BPM throughout. I'll give
editing instructions using that the GH disc's timings:
Keep 0:00.0 to 3:31.0 of the LP version.
Edit on the snare hit that begins the 2-beat fill before
the downbeat.
Remove the 32 beats from 3:31.0 to 3:47.1.
Keep 3:47.1 to 4:28 (this piece extends into the LP
version fade).
Put a 24-beat fade from 4:17 to 4:28.
Your mixdown will run about 4:11 with an edit at 3:31 and
a 24-beat fade from 4:00 to 4:11.
I didn't check the actual 45, but if you really want to
match the versin on More New Stuff, you can slow
down the LP version by 0.7%.
