Jay & The Americans-"This Magic Moment"

Pat, my commercial 45, which is mono, and confirmed as United Artists 50475, has a listed time of (2:50) and an actual time of (2:49). Besides a wide range of database CD timings currently existing for this song, I post this info because your current database note for this song states "actual 45 and LP running time is (2:38) not (2:50) as stated on the record label". I can't speak to your LP findings, Pat, but my actual 45 timing came in :11 seconds longer than you have specified. FYI, my 45's deadwax info is simply "UA-2915". There is also an "11-4-68" written to the right of it, and a reversed "16117" written to the left.

Well shame on me as I timed the reissue 45 which does run (2:38). Database has been updated to reflect the correct 45 time.

Sure, John. The fade begins at 2:30 (audible at 2:32) and is out at 2:50.

what about the version on "The Complete United Artists Singles"? does
it fade later than the 45 or is it a speed issue. I do not have the CD...yet.

I don't hear a lot of difference between the mono 45 and
the original LP mix. However, whenever I've heard this song
on the radio within the past 10 or so years, it's been the
remix on the Capitol Collector's Series CD (noise reduction
and all).
