I have seen 45s of "Downtown Train" by Rod Stewart that have a printed run time of (4:30) and say "fade" next to the time on the label. My copy of this song from TM Century actually runs (4:30). Currently, there is not a notation next to the song in the database.

Do the 45s actually run (4:30) or is this a misprint on the label?

Hey, Aaron!

The "Downtown Train" cassette single actually does run 4:30 and is just an early fade of the album length. I could be wrong but I don't think the song was ever released on a vinyl 45 format.

Todd, thanks for the info. Yes, there are vinyl 45s of the song. Several are for sale on ebay right now.

I did purchase a white sleeve 7" single back when the single was released, the B side was "The Killing of Georgie" as I can recall.

Yep, commercial 45 has a picture sleeve and "The Killing Of Georgie (Parts I & II)" on the flip on Warner Bros. 22685. In fact, all of his 1990s commercial singles output is also on vinyl.

actually, no. 1999's Faith Of The Heart wasn't on vinyl. it was a CD single (possibly a cassette single as well)

Yep, you guys are right about "Downtown Train" having been issued on vinyl 45. I didn't see the "(v)" designation in Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles 1955-1999 book so I assumed there must not have been a vinyl single release. Evidently, all I needed to do was spend about 30 seconds doing an eBay search to see otherwise!

Actually, "Broken Arrow" wasn't originally put out on a 45 during its chart run, but was released on the format several years later on an "oldie series" single. Remember those?

Nothing to do with the subject at hand, but welcome to this board, Ian! (I've known Ian for a while, as we're participants in another pop-culture BBS.)
