The on-line database indicates that the 45 version of "Don't Let Go" runs ~(3:55), while the LP version clocks in at ~(7:17). So is the 45 version an edit or remix of the LP version??? Or perhaps this is even one of those examples where Pat uses the "version" designator in the database even though it's actually just an early fade, like w/ "Owner of a Lonely Heart", "Slow Ride", "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel", etc. (as aaronk pointed out he sometimes does)???

I realize the 45 version can be had on several CDs, so I'm not looking for a complete dissection, although because it seems that no one has ever brought this one up on the chat board before, perhaps others may be interested. This is one of those songs I first discovered as a result of collecting those good ol' V/A compilations from K-tel & Ronco back in the mid '80s, lol. I don't ever remember hearing this one on the radio back in 1979-80, but as a fan of classic funk, I fell in love w/ it the first time I heard it. So imagine my surprise when about 12 years ago while watching VH-1 Classic one day, I discovered that he'd actually made a video for this song back in the day!
