Joel Whitburn's book lists the single time as 4:24, my Capitol 45 lists the time as 4:29. Both are wrong; my 45 runs 4:33.
I have the 5:07-ish LP version on three CDs:- Sounds Of The '90s - 1990 (Time-Life R814-01, 2001)
- These Dreams - Heart's Greatest Hits (Capitol CDP 553376, 1997)
- The Essential Heart (Epic/Capitol/Legacy E2K 61557, 2002)
The mastering on all three of these is really pretty awful - the sounds is horrendously compressed/maximized. I don't know how the original Brigade CD is mastered, but I found the sound on my Capitol 45 to be far preferable to any of these CDs.
The 45 lists "Edit" next to the title, and here are the instructions for creating the edit, based on the LP version on Sounds Of The '90s:
Keep 0:00.0-3:55.5 of the LP version.
Edit on snare, after the words "to you" and before a "c'mon" that gets edited out of the 45.
Remove the 32 beats from 3:55.5-4:14.2.
Keep the 65 beats from 4:14.2-4:52.1.
Put a 24-beat fade over 4:38.1-4:52.1.
In your mixdown, you'll have an edit at 3:55.5 and a 24-beat fade from 4:19.4-4:33.4.
The 45 runs at 102.7 BPM, and the LP versions are all 102.9 BPM, so the true 45 runs about 0.2% slower than the LP.
I don't know how the sound on the promo CD single is, but if it's maximized like the LP versions I mentioned above, I prefer the vinyl 7".

Crap:
I have both the Heart Brigade CD and the "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" promo CD single and I can attest that the audio levels are far better on these sources than on the CDs you mention. I attribute the reason for this being that both of my discs were produced in 1990, about five or six years before recording engineers adopted the ill-advised modern-day practice of remastering recordings with ridiculously loud and overcompressed audio levels.
While we're on the subject, here is the track listing for the "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You" promo CD single on Capitol DPRO-79909 along with the actual run times (listed times are in parenthesis):
1) (Edit) - 4:33 (CD label states 4:29)
2) (LP) - 5:07 (CD label states 5:05)

I agree, as I used the version from Brigade to match Ron's edit points. I also have the These Dreams - Greatest Hits. In Audition, to see the differences in compression between the two was pretty amazing.
