Jim, Aaron, you both are correct. Aaron came through with the dub, confirmed the label misprint, and now I can confirm the single version (with no known shorter radio promo) runs 3:37 and is an edit of the LP version.

If you don't have "New Wave Hits Of The 80s," you can replicate the edits by removing (timing based on newly edited file each time):

1:15 - 1:22
1:22 - 1:29
3:20 - 3:27

Thank you, everyone, for your help!!]]> Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:24:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7708&PID=39233&title=missing-persons-walking-in-l-a#39233 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7708&PID=39232&title=missing-persons-walking-in-l-a#39232 Author: aaronk

Yes, the stock 45 also runs an actual 3:37.]]> Wed, 25 Sep 2013 20:28:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7708&PID=39232&title=missing-persons-walking-in-l-a#39232 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7708&PID=39231&title=missing-persons-walking-in-l-a#39231 Author: The Hits Man

So, the printed time on the 45 label is wrong.]]> Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:23:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7708&PID=39231&title=missing-persons-walking-in-l-a#39231 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7708&PID=39227&title=missing-persons-walking-in-l-a#39227 Author: jimct

Gene, both sides of my promo 45 are exactly the same: stereo, a listed time
of (3:30), an actual time of (3:37) (which exactly matches your "New Wave
HIts Of The 80's" CD timing), and deadwax info of "S45-B-5212-98216A-
Z1", and then a faint "#2" at the end. ]]> Wed, 25 Sep 2013 08:26:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7708&PID=39227&title=missing-persons-walking-in-l-a#39227 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7708&PID=39224&title=missing-persons-walking-in-l-a#39224 Author: aaronk

Gene, I'll shoot a dub of the stock 45 to you momentarily.]]> Tue, 24 Sep 2013 22:28:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7708&PID=39224&title=missing-persons-walking-in-l-a#39224 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7708&PID=39223&title=missing-persons-walking-in-l-a#39223 Author: NightAire

I'm baffled by Missing Persons' "Walking In L.A."

I have a 4-minute version that is (I assume) the album length.

I also have a version from Can't Get Enough - New Wave Hits Of The 80s which cuts out part of the instrumental near the one minute mark and then takes out some of the "nobody's walkin, walkin, walkin" at the end to get to a length of 3:37.

This single says on the label that it runs 3:30, but I have no way to check that.

The mix of the 4-minute and 3:37 versions are identical, it is a simple edit. The video version is the 4-minute version.

Does anybody know the real length of the single version, especially the DJ promo single, and if it was a simple edit of the LP version or a different mix?]]> Tue, 24 Sep 2013 21:00:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7708&PID=39223&title=missing-persons-walking-in-l-a#39223
