On a couple CDs listed in the database, the hit "Do I Do" by Stevie Wonder is listed as "45 version" with a run time of (5:01). The note at the top says commercial copies were all (4:56), which is a five second discrepancy.

Do the (5:01) versions have an incorrect fadeout? The reason I ask is because the fade is quite awkward. Just as the song goes to only percussion (and coincidentally right after 4:56), there is a very quick fadeout. Can anyone verify?

Thanks to Jim, I was able to verify that the 45 time listed in the database is incorrect. The actual 45 time is (5:01), just like the CDs containing the 45 version. The fadeout of the 45 matches the fadeout on the CDs containing the 45 version; it's a very quick 3 or 4 second fade, starting right after the breakdown where there's only percussion.

I also have a 2nd promo 45 for this. Below the title and artist, it clearly states "WITH HARMONICA SOLO", and has both a listed and actual time of (5:18). Aaron has compared this version to the 10:00+ LP version, and informs me that unique audio not found on the LP exists on this 2nd promo 45. Aaron, feel free to provide more specifics on the unique audio segment.

Just FYI, the 5:18 version was released commercially on the B-side of the Motown Yester-year Oldie Series single of "That Girl".

Yes, Jim is correct. There is a short section right before the harmonica solo on this DJ version (and commercial reissue) that is nowhere to be found on the long LP version.

When they made the edit, essentially, they removed Stevie's talking from the mix when he introduces Dizzie Gillespie, and this short instrumental part precedes the harmonica solo on the edit. Also, the LP version has a slight overlap of Dizzy's horn solo and Stevie's harmonica solo. For the edit, the horn solo was removed from the mix.

And if all that isn't enough, I just discovered that the version on "Definitive" contains two glaring sections that aren't on the 45. From about 3:25 to about 3:36 and again from about 4:23 to somewhere around 4:48, where it resumes. Maybe Pat should change the DB to "...really crummy edit with the wrong stuff." OK maybe something shorter, but it "definitely" ain't the 45. The only other 45 listed is on "Motown Year By Year 1982." Does anyone know if it's the correct one?

Robert, are you using a promo 45 as the reference? The promo 45 version "with harmonica solo" is different than the commercial 45. That much is certain.

No, I used the commercial 45. The funny thing is that it isn't just an edit, it's an insert of different material, then it resumes and times out to the 45.

Maybe there are two 45 versions. What does the different material consist of?

Has anyone confirmed that the now lone 45 listing in the database is indeed the 45 version?
