Cheap Trick - The Flame

Here is a 45 playing for reference -

Based on what Ron said above, it seems that the LP version and 45 version are different edits of a longer take. There are spots in the LP version where an edit is audible, so that seems plausible. Also, regarding the Billboard disc, not only does the entire song run too slow, but also the first 4-5 seconds run even slower. The song picks up speed at that point, and the pitch seems fairly constant for the remainder.

Now that you mention it, the first few seconds of the
Billboard disc sound like tape drag maybe?

And now to give everybody a headache, I'm going to make a correction. :)

The 45 can be edited from the LP, there is no mix difference but a simple out
of sequence edit.

The sound you hear at 4:14 on the 45 version is not, I repeat *not* a
tambourin, it is simply an extra note from the Roland D50 synth that appears
throughout the song. This is very obvious if you're listening with headphones,
as it's right there in your left channel. After Robin sings "you" the synth plays
four notes followed by a fifth note and the down beat.

This does appear on the LP version, listen closely at 5:06 seconds and that
extra note is right there, it also appears at 5:16.

So Segment #2 can be made just take 5:02 to 5:06 and paste it.

Sorry, radiofan16, but I agree with Aaron. The 4:10-4:14 segment of the 45 version is different from the 5:02-5:06 segment of the LP version.
