The actual commercial 45 run time of Madness' "Our House" is 3:18. (Thanks once again to abagon for the run time information. The stated time on the record label is 3:20.) The reason I post this is because database CD appearances of this song go 3:21-3:25. This suggests to me the LP might run a little longer than the 45. That said, does anyone have the Madness Presents the Rise & Fall vinyl LP on Geffen from 1982 who can pass along the timing info of "Our House"?

Back in '83 when that song was current, one of the Boston CHRs played a slightly different version of this than I've ever heard anywhere else. Just as the song faded out there was the line "our house, just can't wait to get away". This version is not on either the album or 45. Any idea where it came from? That one line kind of changes the meaning of the whole song.

The 12" version ends with line "Something tells you that you've got to get away from it," but this wording differs from what you remember. Plus the 12" version ends cold with this line--not with a fade.

It may very well have been the 12". This station did play a lot of 12" versions. Only heard this version a couple of times, and it's been 25 years so it could have been as you described.
Don't think I ever ran across a 12" of this...I'll have to keep my eyes open for a copy.

I worked at an album rock station in West Virginia in 1983 when this song came out. All we played was the 12".

I do believe the 12 inch was played at 45 rpm.
That would cause a problem from time to time.
"Addicted To Love" from Robert Palmer was also a 12 inch at the 45 rpm speed.
the way it was heard on the radio

So was the 12" for Robert Plant's "Big Log." I know, I cued it up the day I debuted it on air. A 45rpm 12" playing for the first 3 seconds...at 33rpm. OOPS! LOL.

I don't, but I do have "Our House" on the 1983 Geffen LP Madness. Both the listed and actual time is (3:21).

Was Madness' self-titled LP the parent album of "Our House"?

Yes. Madness reached #41 on the Billboard LP chart, the group's only LP to crack the upper half of the 200.
