Gladys Knight Where Peaceful Waters Flow

The only CD I own containing the song "Where Peaceful Waters Flow" by Gladys Knight & The Pips is the Rhino release Soul Survivors: The Best Of. In at least parts of the song, the guitars on the CD are different than on my U.S. commercial 45 (Buddah 363). For example, for about the first half minute of the song, the only guitar present in the right channel on the 45 is an acoustic guitar. This acoustic guitar is not present on the Rhino CD, on which some kind of soulful electric guitar is heard in its place.

Has anyone come across the correct hit version of Gladys Knight & the Pips' "Where Peaceful Waters Flow" on an import CD? It's hard to believe this song has never appeared in its 45/LP version form on a domestic CD release!

does anyone own the vinyl lp 'imagination' that contained
the song originally that could verify the actual running
time of the original album version?

i reviewed this one again and listened to the first 0:30 of
the song and they sound pretty consistent to me......if
there is any difference, certainly not enough to warrant an
'lp/45' difference notation.....i'm sorry guys, i'm just
not hearing it....

I've once again compared my U.S. commercial 45 with the common CD version, and there is definitely an extra guitar present throughout the song on the CD version that is not on my 45. The only change I would make from my initial post is that the extra guitar on the CD version is there in addition to the acoustic guitar and not in place of it. Since the difference is not subtle (it's obvious from the very first note) and Ed doesn't detect it, it looks like there were two different commercial 45s.

The matrix number on my 45 is not easy to read, but it appears to be BDAS-363A followed by a 2 in a circle. Elsewhere in the runout groove there is a triangle followed by 91660.
