On all CDs containing Diana Ross' 'Gettin' Ready For Love' listed in the database, the running time of this song is 2:44-2:45. The database indicates this as the LP length, but this is also the length of my 45 (matrix M1427F-64925-S-RE2-06A). The printed time is 2:45. Joel Whitburn's Pop Annual 1955-1999 gives the running time as 2:55.

My commercial 45 has the exact same deadwax info, and I can confirm all of Paul C's other details as well. Further, both the mono and stereo sides of my promo 45 have a listed time of (2:45), and also come in with an actual time right between (2:44) and (2:45). It would appear that an actual (2:55) 45 version for this song does not actually exist, unless a 2nd commercial 45 was put out for it.

One final note, before we put this one to bed: I did a poor job of explaining one detail. Although both my stock and promo copies have an actual time of (2:45), my commercial 45 DOES state a listed time of (2:55). So, to consistently apply Pat's long-established standards in this case, something like "commercial copies list a time of (2:55), but actually run (2:45)" should be added, to alert folks to the bogus stock 45 listed time.

Pat, since I first posted about this 4 years ago, I noticed in the db that both
the 45 & LP versions run around the same time. What is the tipoff for you
between one and the other? Because I now own two promo copies for this;
both mono/stereo, all listed times (2:45). One has an "RE-2" on both sides,
while the other has an "RE-3" on both sides. I'm wondering if one of my
promos might actually include the LP version on it. Finally, if anyone
happens to own a promo 45 with either no "RE" designation on it, and/or an
"RE-1", perhaps they could pass along its details, for full assessment
purposes.

Jim, I have the RE-3 dj 45 and on this version there are handclaps on the introduction which are not found on the LP version. I do not have a commercial copy to check and see if there are handclaps present so can you listen to your commercial copy to see if there are handclaps present on the introduction?
