Diamonds - Words Of Love

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Just wondering if anyone has the actual 45 run time for The Diamonds version of "Words Of Love" from 1957. The listed time appears to be 1:53, but the lone cd in the database states the time as 2:12. My only copy of this song is from the Rhino LP "Best Of The Diamonds" released in the 1980's, and on here the song runs 1:57.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Jon O.

	Thought I'd bring this up again because I still haven't found an answer. Hoping somebody here knows? I would feel the need to purchase the Diamonds cd or the 45 if the run time is indeed 2:12. (I'm hopeful someone can save me some money!) Thanks, Jon O.

	jono, I just checked my copy of Mercury 5327342 "The Best Of" CD and it runs 1:57. I think the confusion may be a simple typo in the database listed time. MM

	Mark - Thank you so much. I'm thinking that my Rhino LP contains the correct version then. Much appreciated! I guess this means we'll have to recheck the runtime on The Diamonds' Best Of cd. I can't imagine that there would be any difference in the 45 vs. the LP, if there even IS a version of this song on an original album. Jon O.

	Thanks, Ed, for checking your 45. Much appreciated! Mark, I'm sorry I misunderstood your earlier comments. For some reason I thought you were referring to your 45, even though you specifically mentioned your copy of The Diamonds' cd. Boy, for a guy who prides himself on noticing things, I sure missed the obvious! I haven't checked, but I'm sure Pat will fix the database, if he hasn't already. Well, I guess that does indeed answer all of my questions regarding this song. Thanks again, gentlemen! Jon O.
