On the various CDs listed in the database that contain the song 'Round And Round' by Perry Como, the run times range from (2:28) to (2:34). I timed my U.S. commercial 45 (RCA 6815) at (2:31).

My copy of this is on RCA Victor WBY-50 b/w "Tina Marie". It's also labeled as being a Bluebird children's record.
It's clearly some sort of re-issue since the two songs charted separately 18 months apart. Anyone know the story on this? I was a child when I got this, so it was definitely issued in the 50s.
There is no listed time, actual time is 2:31.

At present, the database incorrectly has the actual 45 run time for Perry Como's "Round and Round" at 2:41 (which is likely a typo).

I also have a few surviving Bluebird kiddie records from my childhood days, as well as a couple of the yellow-label Columbia Children's Series 45s. If memory serves (a half-century later) the retail price point was 49 cents for kiddie records vs. the 98-cent full-price lines. I have a yellow-label Columbia Jimmy Boyd "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" kiddie 45 that falls into the same category of recycled hits aimed at the kiddies for a discounted price.
One of the Columbias I had as a kid was the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. At a record show many years ago, I happened upon a stone mint copy of the same record, immaculate condition picture sleeve and all. I still knew the record by heart, but had no memory whatsoever of the picture sleeve, which I'm sure I immediately annihilated back in the '50s. :)
