my commercial cd single for the swv (sisters with voices) song "rain" issued as rca 65402 contains the below tracks
1-rain (lp version) (4:25 listed; 4:21 actual)
2-lose myself (lp version) (4:38 listed; 4:41 actual)
it's odd that the db states a 4:12 run time version as the "45 version" when it should be the cd single version running 4:21

I believe the database states 45 length and LP length Ed. Joel Whitburn reports the cassette single as running (4:16) so do you have the cassette single to time and verify that there really is no "version" issue here just a "length" issue? The cassette single (not the cd single) would be the proper format to use when determining either "length" or "version" since this song charted in 1998.

Joel Whitburn lists the cassette single as the Billboard official 45 version.
