Looking into the correct running time of Betty Lou Got A
New Pair of Shoes by Bobby Freeman. 45 shows a run time of 2:15 and CDs range from 2:16 to 2:26. The sources I have seem to differ as to where they are faded. Does anyone have the 45 to verify true run time, as well as final words on the fade? |

2:22 |

The various stereo mixes don't all sound the same either...subtle differences.
Likely having been mixed to stereo in the CD era... |

Thanks Ed. Can you tell me which words your 45 fades out on? |

Like Ed's, my copy also states 2:20 but runs 2:22. Or at least the music does. The song has what sounds like Western Recorders' indented pot abrupt step-downs in volume as it fades. The final words are "Ah, kick it, kid!", followed by one guitar strum. That takes it to 2:21.
Following the abrupt dump of the song, there are two faint tones. If you include those, the total run time is 2:22. If not, then 2:21 it is. |

Thanks John. The final words are actually "Ah, dig them
kicks" keeping in line with the shoe theme! |

As they say: "Upon further review..." ;) You are correct, sir! It was kind of hard to tell on the vinyl 45, since that's where those abrupt step-downs (yet another shoe reference, perhaps?) were getting in the way.
