i just timed my cassingle of "the one" and it is exactly 5:52, just like the full length cd version........no where near the 5:40 length paul haney references......can someone else check the run time of their cassingle.....paul, can you check again if your pitch control was compromised?.....if not, then we must have two pressings of the cassingle with no way of knowing the differences because, as far as i know, unlike 45's there is no place for run out groove type etching.........very unusual....

Ed, thanks for timing your copy! I timed our copy on 2 different tape decks that have both been perfect on numerous other cassingles. I'd guess that our copy is defective and simply runs too fast. I've seen it happen a few other times in the past. I'm going to correct the running time to (5:52) in our database for the next Pop Annual (which should be out later this year).

I don't think that's really necessary. Like I said, I think we've just got a defective copy. Whoever timed it back in 1992 got a run time of (5:42) and that was on a third tape deck. I had a few other cassingles that had this same problem back in the day.
