The actual commercial 45 run time for Linda Ronstadt's "How Do I Make You" is 2:19, not 2:25 as stated on the record label. (This info comes courtesy of Jim a.k.a. "jimct".) At present, the song's CD appearances in the database run from 2:16 to 2:24.

Does anyone have the parent LP Mad Love from 1980 on the Asylum label who can tell us the run time for "How Do I Make You"?

Thank you for the LP run time confirmation, Yah Shure. I realize the Mad Love album is out on CD, but I've found that sometimes a song will run a slightly different length on a CD reissue than on its vinyl LP counterpart. Once albums started getting released on vinyl and CD simultaneously in the mid-'80s, it appears there were far fewer cases of a given song's run time differing in length between the two recording media. I presume this is because vinyl and CD releases were dubbed from the same master at the roughly the same time.

On the listing for this pressing on Discogs of this track
the original poster stated that the version is an edit of
the album track. Does anyone have this pressing to confirm?
The track is only 2:25 so I'm not sure what would be
edited.
