another one...

anyone can tell me if the 45 actually ends at 4:59 as per Joel Whitburn, or does it end cold and run 5:08 or so like most stereo CD appearances?

The correct running time of the 45 is (5:08) not (4:59) as stated and it does fade out.

I have to check my 45, but mine doesn't fade out. It is the exact same as the version found on Rhino's "didn't it blow your mind" Volume one.

By cold, you mean it's when they sing the line "Oh happy...daayyyy", just like the end of a church hymn, right? That's how my 45 ends. There's no fade.

I was six or seven when that song came out, and at the time I felt like it was the longest record I had ever heard from what I grew up with up to that point.

My bad, Grant. "Cold" means quick and abrupt. I should've used the word "ends" instead. My stock 45 finishes up exactly as you describe it.

The version found on Rhino 70781 is the same version as my 45 but that is definitely a fade with a piano note being held for about 4 seconds after the last words of the song which are "oh happy day" while slowly fading out.

Here's what I was taught about describing song endings:

FADE - the song fades out, not on an "end" note
COLD - the song ends abruptly
COLD FADE - the song hits an "end" note, and that note fades out

Although I'm not familiar with this song, it sounds like Pat is describing a cold fade.

The version in my station's library runs about 3:35. I remember editing it myself, cutting the 5:08 CD version to match the short version on some compilation LP. There was at least one cut within the song (i.e. not just faded early).

Of course, now I can't remember what album that came from - it may have been Dick Clark's 20 Years/20 Hits compilation - but I'm not sure. Was this 3:35 version released anywhere?
