A beloved and hard-to-find track, to be sure.
The LP version on the Some Tough City LP (also denoted as "Long Version" on Side 1 of the promo 12" single) has a printed and an actual run time of 3:45. It's played by a live drummer to a click track, and both the LP and promo 12" have a tempo of 116.4 BPM.
The 45 version (also denoted as "Short Version" on Side 2 of the promo 12" single) has a printed and an actual run time of 3:28. The 12" single runs 116.4 BPM, and the 45 is imperceptibly slower at 116.2 BPM, meaning that it probably runs a fraction of a second longer.
The 45 version has one simple edit in it, and can easily be created from the LP version:
Keep the first 17 beats from 0:00.0-0:09.0.
Edit on the snare after the piano roll.
Remove the 32 beats from 0:09.0-0:25.5.
Keep 0:25.5-3:45 (end). The 45 and LP have the same fade.
You mixdown should run 3:28, with an edit at the 9 second mark.
I have to switch computers now, and I'm going to try and scan in a whole bunch of labels. If not tonight, then tomorrow...

As promised, many Tony Carey scans...
I have no idea where this next single came from, or if it's from an album at all...
I found the CD packaging for this, but no disc. Rats! So here's proof that it exists...

Pat: The running time of "The First Day Of Summer" on the db is indicated "4:24" now.
FYI, The actual 45 running time of "A Fine Fine Day" is "4:24"

Both Tony Carey tracks are terrific!
Thanks for the scan of the 12 inch "First Day of Summer". I forgot I had that one.
I also have a double album from Planet P that was pressed on pink vinyl. That was a Tony Carey project too. I have never listened to it.

Pat:
The lone CD appearance in the database of Tony Carey's "The First Day of Summer" should contain the comment: (LP version).
