Eric Carmen-"Make Me Lose Control"

Pat, my commercial 45 has a listed time of (4:45). Your current database notation states that "commercial copies all run (4:45), even though the record label states (4:35)". Perhaps this commercial 45 was issued with two different listed times.

Pat, my stated (4:45) commercial 45 is also on Arista 9686, but mine has a matrix number of "AS1-9686-SAL-SP-1".

My promo CD single for this is Arista ASCD-9686, released
1988, with just one track, denoted as "Single Version",
printed 4:45, actual 4:46.

To promo 45 version has found its way onto at least one
commercially available CD. I have it on Quality Canada's
This Is Music 5 (1989).

To recreate the promo 45, it's one easy edit from the LP
and commercial 45 version. Using timings from my promo
CD single:

Keep 0:00.0 to 3:24.4 of the LP/commercial 45 version.
Edit between in the middle of the word "go". The edit
occurs right at the first tambourine hit, so that it goes
edit-snare-second tambourine hit-downbeat.
Remove the 32 beats from 3:24.4 to 3:42.0.
Keep 3:42.0 to 4:46.6 (end) of the LP/commercial 45
version.

Your mixdown will run 4:28 if you don't put an early fade
on it, with an edit at 3:24.

My copy on This Is Music 5 fades at 4:20, but I
don't know if the true promo 45 fades at the same place,
or if This Is Music 5 fades early. I've seen many
other early fades on this series, so it wouldn't surprise
me if it's an artifact of this Canadian CD.

Everything runs at 109.0 BPM, so no pitch differences.
