I can confirm that the promo CD single runs exactly 2.0% faster than the LP version. All else is basically the same.

The very tail of the fade on the promo CD single runs about 5 beats longer than the version I have on Time-Life's Rolling Stone Collection 1988-1989, but I don't know if the Time-Life disc shortened the tail of the fade from the Bonnie Raitt full-length CD.]]> Sun, 28 Aug 2022 12:34:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61661&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61661 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61659&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61659 Author: promojunkie

If you go to youtube, the official video matches this promo
single regarding speed and length.   I have no idea where
the 4:04 version that is on her greatest hits comes from. 
Could be the original was trimmed down for the 1989 cd and
all pressings at that time and left in tact for the hits
album.  Just a theory, not fact.]]> Sun, 28 Aug 2022 09:38:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61659&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61659 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61658&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61658 Author: PopArchivist

Yes. The promo CD runs 3:47.]]> Sun, 28 Aug 2022 09:33:30 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61658&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61658 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61657&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61657 Author: kaqueno

.



The version included on the TM Century album (799A), has
a real running time of 3:42, i'm not sure if it's a
version that runs faster than the album version or has
some editing.

I was able to get a few copies of the versions included
on the TM Century HitDiscs, thanks to Dave and can say
the following:

CD 799A: 3:29 - with a real time of 3:42, bpm 121

CD 837A: 3:36 - with a real time of 3:50, bpm 118

version The Best Of Bonnie Raitt: 4:04 - with a real time
of 4:04, bpm 119


Perhaps there is another more expert member and can give
more details]]> Sun, 28 Aug 2022 06:48:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61657&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61657 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61655&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61655 Author: eriejwg

Closing the loop on this. Aaron send me a dub of the promo
cd and the single version is indeed pitched faster for a
track duration of 3:47 instead of the LP speed and duration
of 3:50.]]> Sat, 27 Aug 2022 14:14:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61654&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61654 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61546&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61546 Author: eriejwg

Is the 3:44 version an earlier fade of the 3:49 or is it
sped up to run 3:44?]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2022 09:33:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61546&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61546 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9837&PID=61544&title=bonnie-raitt-nick-of-time#61544 Author: prisdeej

I think I might have solved the mystery. I have an old
cassette tape that I made back in the early 90's that has
this song on it and most likely from the promo cd during my
radio days. It does run faster than the LP version. I
think this is a similar situation to Peabo Bryson "If Ever
You're In My Arms Again" where the radio version was sped
up to appeal to top 40 radio. Maybe if someone on the
forum has the promo cd single they can confirm.

All of the fades start in the same place, but the tail of the fade is shortened or truncated on a few of them. I'm willing to bet that the difference in timings is due to where the fade is truncated. I grabbed a YouTube dub of "Nick Of Time" from The Best Of Bonnie Raitt On Capitol 1989–2003, and it runs 0.37% slower than the Nick Of Time album, which is real but insignificant. But the tail of the fade goes on about 30 beats longer than the Nick Of Time album, which is quite real and quite significant. The fade is over 30 seconds long on The Best Of Bonnie Raitt On Capitol 1989–2003! I can see why someone shortened it for the 1989 releases.

I have the 1990 Hot 100 hit running 3:50. Since it is 1990, one has to turn to the cassette for that era. That appears to run 3:52. No reason to believe the promo runs shorter either (DPRO-79721)

The 45 might have a few second fade which would explain the 3:44. But lately I can attest discogs has not been as accurate as one would think...
