My commercial 45, which is stereo, has a listed time of (3:29), but an actual time of (3:36).

Pat:
All CD appearances in the database of Stevie Wonder's "Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You)" currently contain the comment: (LP version). However, I just compared a vinyl 45 dub to the song as it appears on Wonder's At the Close of a Century box set and found that the 45 is simply an early fade of the LP. Unless you've noticed other differences between the 45 and LP, you might want to change the (LP version) comments in the database to instead read: (LP length).

Here's a case where I disagree--and think "version" is more appropriate. Given the vast time disparity between the 45 and LP, and the fact the extension of the LP length almost morphs into a different song for the last few minutes, I think "version" is an appropriate desgnation. I always thought of "LP length" as "the song ends similarly as the 45, but it's just a little longer." Similar to the way I feel about Foghat's "Slow Ride."
YMMV. And prolly does. :)

We have this discussion from time to time on various songs and I believe Doug has quite adequately expressed my feelings on this matter. I know -- not everyone will agree!

If the general public only knew all these years that if you faded the LP version to 3:36, you'd have the 45 version!

Thankfully, we have this message board to discuss our findings in such situations. There aren't an overwhelming number of cases where the database lists an LP version that can be faded to make the 45.
