The actual commercial 45 run time of Jerry Reed's "When You're Hot, You're Hot" is 2:17. (Timing info courtesy of Jim. The printed record label time is 2:18.) I'm reporting this because database CD times run from 2:13 to 2:18.

As the database indicates, on the 1995 release The
Essential Jerry Reed, both of Jerry Reed's Top 40 hits,
"Amos Moses" and "When You're Hot, You're Hot" are stereo.
In 2015, a different compilation with the same title was
issued only digitally by Sony Music Nashville. On this
digital-only The Essential Jerry Reed, both songs
are mono, as were the original 45s.

I discovered the updated Essential collection a couple of
years ago and now use the mono files from that collection
for the 2 big Top 40 hits in my library.

Did any promo copies have (possibly an unlabeled) stereo
version?
Reason why I ask: The FM Top-40 station in my market only
played it in stereo - I remember clearly because of the
alternate-panned hi hats that I thought were cool. I
just assumed that the stock 45 was stereo because at that
time most RCA 45s were stereo (and some didn't even have
a mono promo such as "Grazing In The Grass").
Of course, it could have been dubbed from an LP.

I've had two different promo 45s for this,
one pressed for pop radio (yellow label), one
pressed for country radio (green label), both
were definitely mono.

Thanks Tom!
Yeah, I'm sure in the early days of stereo Top-40 radio
albums were played or dubbed to carts.

Probably played it from the LP (assuming one existed) or if the station was important enough maybe they got a
stereo dub from the label.
As has been discussed here many times before, the early 70s were a mixed bag for stereo 45s. While RCA was one
of the earlier adopters of stereo 45s they, like most other labels were hit or miss. There were mono promos
where the commercial singles were stereo (Nilsson's "Without You" is one), and I think all Elvis 45s prior to
"Burning Love" were mono.

The vinyl LP in 1971 was stereo.
