My commercial 45 for this is mono, has a listed time of (2:40), but an actual time of (2:37). Except for one database CD, which states a time of (2:52), all of the other current database CDs for this state a time of (2:54). Pat, it appears we may have to take a closer look at this one, to sort out the :17 second time difference here (2:37 vs. 2:54).

After comparing the 45 and LP appearance of this song it is obvious how the printed and actual timing difference came about on the 45. The orginal intent was to fade out the LP at the 2:40 mark for 45 release but then someone made the decision to speed up the 45 by :03 and so we ended up with a running time of 2:37.

Is it my imagination in the 45 version, they sing Ce-Cilia but, in the LP version, it sounds like Cilia?

Yep, that's true. And the mono hit mix has never been issued on CD

I played the 45 and then i played the version on the expanded Bridge Over Troubled Water cd as part of the complete columbia studio recordings box set, and I kept trying to hear for "celia" verses "ce-celia", however to my ears it sounded as if both versions sounded exactly the same. Is there a specific point in the song where i should be listening to for a difference? I may have to fold the album version to mono and play it side by side in headphones to hear a distinct difference....but I honestly have not been able to pick that out...they both sound like they're singing celia and then cecilia.
