Brenda Holloway - When I’m Gone

   My commercial 45, confirmed as Tamla 54111, has both a listed & actual 

time of (2:05). Deadwax info begins with a handwritten "WXL-114312", 

followed by a machine-stamped "S4KM-0728-1  E". 9 of the 12 current 

db CDs that include this song do have run times very close to my 45's 

length, at between (2:04) and (2:07), including the Complete Motown 

Singles "original version". However, the other 3 db CDs run either (2:09) 

or (2:10), including the Complete Motown Singles set's "2nd version".

I do happen to own a 1965 promo 45 for this song as well. It also has a 

listed & actual time of (2:05), and has the same exact deadwax as my 

stock copy, exact that it omits the final "E".

So, at this point, it would seem as if the longer, (2:10)-ish "2nd version" is 

rarer, and that the shorter "original version" seems to be much more 

common, at least based on my stock & promo copies. If anyone owns the 

longer length 45 version of Tamla 54111, particulars for it would be much 

appreciated.
