"You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" is some seriously smooth Philly soul.
The LP version runs about 4:27, plus or minus a second or two.
The oldest CD I have with the LP version is Priority's Mega-Hits Dance Classics Vol. 2 (1989). It's mastered a little loud and clips a bit, and may possibly have noise reduction. The EQ is a little brash-sounding. There's a differently-EQ'd digital clone on Time-Life's 2-CD Body Talk Vol. 1 Forever Yours (1996).
There's a different analog transfer on Razor & Tie's 2-CD Disco Fever (1991). Nice dynamic range, wimpy-sounding EQ, no noise reduction. I hear a little crackle on the fade - is this taken from vinyl? There's a differently-EQ'd digital clone on Razor & Tie's 2-CD Break Up To Make Up (1999), which is also mastered too loud and clips a bit.
And then, there's Cema's Lou Rawls disc Ten Best Series, which sounds just fine, even if it runs a tiny bit faster than all of the above. Ten Best is my choice for the LP version.
The 45 edit runs 3:31, according to the database.
The oldest CD I have with the 45 edit is Connoisseur Collection UK's 5-CD 100 Dance Hits Of The '70s (1988), which sounds better for this track than a lot of other tracks on this set. Few others in the U.S. own this box, though.
A far more common, and slightly better-sounding, version is on Rhino's Didn't It Blow Your Mind Vol. 18 (1995), where it runs even faster than Ten Best. Sounds great here - nice EQ, great dynamic range, no evidence of NR. The same analog transfer is used for:- Time-Life's Solid Gold Soul Vol. 11 1976 (1996; differently-EQ'd digital clone)
- Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 23 1976 (1996; mastered a little loud and clips a bit)
- Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 44 '70s Dance Party 1975-1976 (1997; differently-EQ'd digital clone of AM Gold)
- Rhino's Behind Closed Doors '70s Swingers (1997; digitally exactly 1.4 dB quieter)
My recommendation for the 45 version: Rhino's Didn't It Blow Your Mind Vol. 18 (1995)

Seriously smooth soul is right on the money! This was another 45 that I played the heck out of as a 10 year-old.

I must have a Philly bone somewhere in my legs b/c I always enjoy this and the other not so easy to find, "Lady Love" by Lou Rawls. Lady Love is the more popular with
me. I seem to gravitate to a lot of the "Philly" sound in my personal preference. Is there a 45 and an LP version to this song, Lady Love?"
Edit: I seem to forget sometimes that I subscribed to the database. Ugh!

It really is a great record. I'm not sure if my mono
promo single of it is a fold down or a dedicated mix. I
just know that it sounds good. Of course, the stereo mix
is very good, as well. I have the 45 edit from the
"Didn't It Blow Your Mind" disc.

The only place I can find a digital copy of "Lady
Love" is as a download. I have it on the parent vinyl
LP.
