"You Belong to the City" - Glenn Frey

Regarding Glenn Frey's "You Belong to the City", the database currently states that commercial copies are all 5:51. This must be based on the time stated on the record label because abagon reports the actual run time is 5:49. I know this is a minor :02 difference, but the 5:49 time is in line with most of the song's database CD appearances.

Incidentally, should the two CD entries of "You Belong to the City" running 4:22-4:23 contain a "this is the DJ edit" comment?

I like having the information repeated, because it's easier to spot when glancing at the list. Also, in 98% of all the other cases where a DJ edit appears on CD, you do indicate "this is the DJ edit." It just keeps the database consistent.

my commercial 45 issued as mca 52651 states the run time as 5:51 but actually runs 5:49 like most of the db entries...

It's on at least one Various Artists compilation whose
title escapes me. I don't think it's ever been on any of
Glenn Frey's albums or compilations. I think you're also
correct about the trimming of the intro and early fade on
the outro.
