My commercial 45 has a listed time of (3:14) and an actual time of (3:13). I only post this info because the 9 current database CDs that feature this song have run times ranging from (3:10) to (3:17).

As an aside, I met Rex Smith a few years ago (he's now doing the Broadway musical touring company thing). Nice guy. It's not often I meet people who have had Top 10 singles.

The version on Swingin' Singles runs significantly slower than the 45 (about 1.5% slower). I wonder if we have a case where the LP speed and 45 speed differ.

I just timed my dj 45 of "You Take My Breath Away" and it runs (3:14) while the LP length is (3:16) and yes the 45 runs slightly faster than the vinyl LP.

According to what Aaron and Pat say, does anyone know if
version 45 was released on a cd?

If you take the song from Sooner Or Later and speed
it up by 1.4 percent then the song runs the correct 45
length of 3:14.

If the versions I have on CD are correct, the 45 versions differ in both speed and length.
I have the LP version on Realm's 3-CD Ultimate Love Classics Vol. 2 (2002), where it runs 3:17.
I have the 45 version on Rhino's Have A Nice Day Vol. 22 (1993), where it runs 3:11. There are digital clones (all digitally exactly 2 dB quieter) on:- Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 26 1979 (1997)
- Time-Life's 2-CD Body Talk Vol. 20 Heart And Soul (1998)
- Madacy's Rock On 1979 Heart Of The Night (1998)
- Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 28 Teen Idols Of The '70s (1999)
- Time-Life's 2-CD Seventies Music Explosion Vol. 3 Miracles (2005)
The Rhino version does indeed run faster than the Realm version, by about 0.8% at the beginning of the song to about 1.3% at the end of the song. One of the two (maybe both) has tape drift, but I'm not sure how to tell which one.
Also, the fade of the Realm version runs about 4 beats longer than the fade of the Rhino version, which seems to fade to tape hiss fairly abruptly.
