Database lists both a censored (3:17) version and an uncensored (3:30) version... which was the single version?

Brian, the 45 was issued in both versions which is why there is no distinction made in the database!

Pat, can you tell us the history of that? Sounds like it was issued full-length, then reissued edited when people noticed the offending line.

Appears right after the instrumental break:

One of a kind love affair
Makes you want to love her
you just have to f*** her, yeah

Then comes the "lame man walk, blind man talk about seeing again" verse.

What's interesting about this song is I can't tell if lead singer Phillipe Wynne really does sing the f-word on the offending lyric, or if radio stations and listeners incorrectly perceived it that way. To my ears, the lyric sounds like this:
One of a kind love affair
Makes you want to love her
You just got to hug her, yeah.

(You can judge for yourself at the 2:40 mark of the song if you have the Spinners Very Best of CD on Rhino 71213.)

Nonetheless, Atlantic quickly responded to the complaints by reissuing the song with the three verses edited out and thus the "One of a kind love affair makes a lame man walk, makes a blind man talk about seeing again" lyric was placed right after the instrumental bridge.

I have listened to this over and over, and i'm certain he uses the "f" word.

I know I'm resurrecting a long-dormant thread, but I've always heard the offending line as "You just have to hurt her". This is also how the line is given on various lyrics sites.

Paul C, Pat does an excellent job in the database for this one. 19 CD appearances; 12 are the "censored" version, and 7 are the "uncensored." Probably the most common CD featuring the "uncensored" is their Rhino GH. I don't doubt what you've heard, and what the lyric sites say, but I have BOTH 1973 promo 45 issues for this: Atlantic didn't come right out and say it on the 2nd promo; they just put "New Version", on both the mono/stereo sides of promo 45 #2. I was in high school, not radio, back in 1973, but I was there when we were refurbishing our library in '79. Our MD specifically pulled out our station library's original "uncensored" promo 45, and INSISTED we dub from THAT version, not the "censored lyric" one, then found on their GH LP. There was NO doubt, at least from a radio standpoint back then, WHAT was being said. I'll be curious as to your opinion, once I'm sure that you've heard the "uncensored" version.
