Marmalade-"Reflections Of My Life"

Pat, just to clarify your current notation for this, my commercial 45 DOES state a listed time of (3:12), and does indeed actually run (4:16) - you specify (4:18), but why quibble? Just wanted to bring to your attention the major timing error that appears on at least some commercial 45s.

Some pressings had the right time, some wrong. Some original pressings had it wrong, and some re-issues. I think the DJ edit time was accidentally put on some of the full length 45s.

John, at the present time I believe, despite the fact that commercial 45s state times of both (3:12) and (4:18), that, so far, all actually appear to feature the longer version. So what you've requested may not exist, although one eventually turning up would not surprise me. I do have TWO different promo 45s for this. Both include the commercial 45 flip, "Rollin' My Thing" on one side of them. One promo has a listed (3:12), but an actual (3:17) version. On the label, it states "DJ-DR-46191-B", but the ONLY inscription contained in the deadwax is a triangle, followed by "79679." My other promo, with a listed time (4:18), and an actual time of (4:16), states on the label "DR 46191." The deadwax has exactly the same info, with a "dash" appearing at the end. My commercial 45, with a listed time of (3:12) but an actual time of (4:16), also has "DR 46191-" in the deadwax, even though THIS label states "DR46191-B" on it. As you hunt at your next record show, John, stay away from all "DR 46191-" deadwaxes, regardless of what the label states, and try to focus in on the "triangle79679", or who knows, maybe you'll find new, unique deadwax details, which may be worth taking a flyer on. Good luck.

First, info like this that is available nowhere else is why I joined this site (and now forum).

I've been trying to track down this promo myself for my own Top 40 (70-71) personal CD-R collection. So I took a chance on the reissue 45 and here's what I can report.

It's on "London Timepieces" 882 104-7. Rainbow is on the flip. You can't miss it as being a reissue as it has a barcode on the label.
Interestingly, it times out at 3:33 with the same into and fade but with the guitar solo (1:43 - 2:23) edited out. So I'm not sure what it is.

Hope my questions like this don't annoy any of you...LOL.

Can the 3:12 version be recreated? Indy500 mentions a guitar solo edited out. Are there any other edit points?
