	I know it exists because I had a copy. I don't seem to be able to find it now, however. IIRC, the 4:08 version just faded early.

	Hmmm, the database indicates that all commercial copies were the longer, LP length, and that the 4:08 version was the dj edit. Is it possible there were different pressings of the commercial 45 with the shorter and longer versions? I don't have the 45 of this song to reference.

	Judging by abagon's comments, it looks like there could very well be two different commercial 45 pressings of "Freeway of Love". Abagon, could you please provide us with the matrix number that's etched on the runout grooves of your commercial 45 copy?

	I didn't ever realize "the matrix number that's etched on the runout grooves". My 45 is stated "AS-1-9354-SA-DJ-RCA..." I couldn't realize "DJ copy" because this 45 is not stated "promotional copy not for sale" on the label. I apologize that I was confusing,everyone. Dear Todd Ireland: Thank you very much for letting me know. And I'm happy that my knowledge increase.

	No problem, abagon, and thanks for passing along this technical information. It is often helpful in determining the existence of multiple 45 pressings for a particular song.

	As always another great thread. I recall my brother and I each buying that one and I had the edit, he bought the full length. Neither realized there were two different 45's. Great observations.
	the way it was heard on the radio

	Dear Pat Downey: I could have a great hobby for myself because of the TOP 40 MUSIC ON CD 8th edition. It is worth for me though the shipping to Japan cost about $40 several years ago. Thank you very much. This stated on the record label is "4:09". The running time is 4:08 (or 4:09)
