my commercial 45 for the brian hyland song "gypsy woman"
issued as uni 55240 states the run time on the label as
2:35 but actually only runs 2:27.....if you fade the
greatest hits cd version for 0:08 from 2:19 to 2:27, you'll
effectively re-create the true vinyl 45 version.....both
the cd and 45 are in mono

Good catch, Ed!
All domestic CD appearances of Brian Hyland's "Gypsy Woman" run a little bit longer at 2:31-2:34, which I suspect is the LP length. Does anyone have Hyland's self-titled parent vinyl LP from 1970 who can pass along the song's actual run time? (By the way, I didn't realize until now that the Hip-O Select label reissued that album on CD for the first time in 2006. The CD appears to still be available at the Hip-O Select website, though the album and tracks can also be downloaded digitally at major online retail stores.)

Ah, so there is indeed a 45/LP length distinction. Thanks, Kent!
By the way, I'm amazed "Gypsy Woman" was never mixed in stereo. (Still a terrific record regardless!)

It is a terrific record. Do wish that there had been a Stereo mix available. I got lucky yesterday and found an unplayed 45 RPM promo copy. Cost me $2 and sounds superb. My other copy is a MCA Clouds label reissue.
