I found out where the 3:46 version first appeared on CD (denoted as faded :16 earlier than the 45 or LP).

It turned up first on a 2-CD set called Sessions Presents Night Beat (Warner Special Products OPCD-4515, released 1988).

I found a few digital clones on After Hours (Warner Special Products, 1990), Sounds Of The Eighties - 1982, and Solid Gold Soul - '80s Rhythm And Grooves (Time-Life, 2001).

I found others with sound quality extremely close to the above (based on the same analog transfer), on Only Dance 1980-1984, Starland Music Presents Rockin' USA (1994), and The "A" List - Disc 12.

They all come from Night Beat.

The commercial 45 is labelled 3:46, but runs 4:02. I don't know if there was an early fade on a promo 45, or if the producer of Night Beat was trying to match a 3:46 time and faded the track early.

I also wondered about whether there was a promo that actually ran (3:46). My radio station of choice at that time carted the song and it faded at about the (3:46) mark (as to whether they faded it themselves to match the label or if there was a shortened promo I do not know).
