The database currently states the following general comment for Chicago's "Wishing You Were Here":

(dj copies of this 45 ran (2:54) and (4:26); commercial copies were all (4:34) not (4:26) as stated on the record label)

Given the discrepancy between the printed and actual commercial 45 times, I suspect that the long DJ 45 length of 4:26 is probably the printed label time but not the actual run time. And considering the lone database CD appearance of the short DJ edit runs 2:59, it's very possible the database's listed 2:54 time for the short DJ 45 side is inaccurate as well. So does anyone have a copy of the "Wishing You Were Here" DJ 45 who can report the actual run time of both sides?

Mine timed out to 3:00 exactly.

Steve, I just double-checked mine and it still came out to 3:03. That's with the fade-in and fade-out maximized in the wav editor to pinpoint the exact start and end; however, for all practical purposes - i.e. carting it up for radio play in 1974 - 3:00 would be the more realistic figure.

Perhaps there's a difference in the promo pressings. Mine's a Terre Haute copy, although its typical "TI" designation is etched only on the long version side of this one.

I created a file running 3:03 using the 40th Anniversary
short version and part of the intro/the ending from the
longer version.

My copy does seem to be from another plant..."short version" is in a different font, and the "black sun" (or whatever that is) is in a different place. Then again since both the surf intro and the sustained ending fade slowly, maybe the :03 difference just gets lost in surface noise (surface noise on a Columbia single...who 'da thunk? ).

Not up on my pressing plant codes, but mine has a TMS-S stamped in the run-out area on the short version side and TMS-M on the long version. Both sides are stereo.

TMS I think is actually TML (The Mastering Lab) mastering studios in California. S and M are lathe codes. Doug Sax being their best known mastering engineer.
