DeFranco Family-"Save The Last Dance..."

   My commercial 45, which is stereo, has a listed time of (2:58), but an actual time of (3:03). Unfortunately, the only current CD for this song in the database runs (3:16). Hopefully, the 45 is just an early fade of the "2 LPs on 1 CD" version.

	I'm not sure what's odder - the fact that I have 2 pressings of this commercial 45 or the fact that they are different. Both versions have a listed time of (2:58), and one, like Jim's copy, runs (3:03). But my other copy runs (3:16), due to a longer fade. I don't see any visible differences between the two different 45's, other than the run-out groove # on the short version is easily legible "T M2088 AS-1" and the long version # is (I think) "T (Cursive)M 2088 AS-1 (Superscript)TML(?)". I would guess the longer 45 is the same as the LP version. Oh, and the short version came in a picture sleeve while the longer version had a regular paper sleeve. Jon O. Edited by jono
