The actual commercial 45 run time of Al Green's "L-O-V-E (Love)" is 3:04. (Thanks to Jim for providing the timing info. The printed record label time is 3:03.) Database CDs containing this song (with the exception of the lone "live" entry) have times ranging from 2:59-3:09.

I have a bunch of CDs that seem to have tape misalignment issues (they sound warbly when summed to mono; the left and right channels are a little out of sync). They're from a hodgepodge of different analog transfers, and don't tell a coherent story:
  • Motown's You Can't Hurry Love (1986)
  • Time-Life's 2-CD Heart Rock (1988; faded early, too)
  • Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 16 1975 Take Two (1991)
  • Cema's Rock-N-Roll's Greatest Hits Vol. 5 (1995)
  • Time-Life's 2-CD Body Talk Vol. 6 Only You (1996)
  • Time-Life's Solid Gold Soul Vol. 10 1975 (1996; differently-EQ'd digital clone of Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 16 1975 Take Two)
  • Time-Life's 2-CD Body And Soul Vol. 16 Romantic Interludes (1999; differently-EQ'd digital clone of Body Talk Vol. 6 Only You)
  • DCC's gold disc of Greatest Hits
One disc that doesn't sound warbly when summed to mono is Demon UK's The Supreme Al Green The Greatest Hits (1992).

Even better is The Right Stuff's Greatest Hits (1995), which sounds magnificent, and doesn't have any tape misalignment issues. There's a digitally identical clone on Time-Life's Legends Of Soul Vol. 5 Al Green (2001).

I recommend The Right Stuff's Greatest Hits (1995), which is virtually flawless from start-to-finish.
