"Day Dreaming" - Aretha Franklin

Jim was helpful once again in reporting to me that his commercial 45 copy of Aretha Franklin's "Day Dreaming" has an actual run time of 2:46 (the printed time on the record label is 2:45). The only reason I post this is because, to date, both database CD entries with a "45 version" comment clock in :03 shorter.

All I have is the 45 version on the Rhino Billboard Hot Soul Hits - 1972 disc. That's good enough for me. If you need a copy for reference hit me up.

The DJ 45 on this title is... rather interesting. The actual times on my copy are (2:46) on the mono side and (2:42) on the stereo side. The stereo side runs at a slower speed, at least to begin with. Just before the :28 mark, there's a strange, slight edit on the mono side, during the ascending run-up to the beginning of the vocal. It sounds like a mistake, more than anything else, particularly since the same edit does not appear on the stereo side. Between the speed differences and the editing glitch, the mono vocal comes in approximately 0.78 second sooner than it does on the stereo side.

But over the course of the record, the stereo side picks up speed, to the point where the two sync up at the 2:35 mark, and the stereo side ends up winning the speed race by a nose or two... until it dumps out rather abruptly at 2:42, with a bit of a "clunk" as the trail-out groove immediately kicks in. The mono side continues on until 2:46.

We never got back to this one - seems the 2:46 mono 45 is MIA.
Anyone have a dub or can make one?
