   According to the database, CD appearances of Jimmy McGriff's "I've Got a Woman (Part 1)" runs anywhere from 2:23 to 2:32.  Does anyone have a commercial 45 copy who can report the actual run time?

	Todd - My Sue 45 (Record No. 770, SR-1061) states a run time of 2:27 and by my timing runs 2:27. I may be off by 1 second because of the fade (2:28??). Coincidentally, the flip side is Part II and it also states a run time of 2:27 (actual time unconfirmed). Jon O.

	Thank you very much, jono! "I've Got a Woman (Part 1)" is one of the last remaining handful of Billboard Top 20 hits from the '60s I don't yet have on CD, so your information will be very helpful in helping me track down the 45 length I'm looking for. Thanks again!

	15 years later.... I just compared my stereo version (from "Complete Pop Instrumental Hits Of The Sixties Vol. 3: 1962") to what I have in mono (unknown source, timing 2:33). The ending is different! Comparing "Complete ..." to 45 dubs on YouTube, they end the same - the ending fades on "lower key" organ hits. My mono version has "higher key" organ hits. Maybe not the best explanation, but hearing is believing. These YouTube versions are the incorrect one: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=Ve5DdwP7c5w&list=OLAK5uy_kTtpD3Ge1V5lzD5MBYpTgTqa3C9OJAV2s &index=31 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjKUDfaMJEc Does anyone have (2:32) EMI 80932 Sue Records Story to listen to the end - that could be my incorrect source. Does anyone have (2:26) Collectables 5123 Best Of Sue Records to check that one out? In summary, I need the correct mono 45 version (Todd, did you ever get it?). Edited by davidclark
