Great stories! I compared the 45 version that someone supplied me with the version I have on Radio Daze - the Radio Version runs 3:52. The Radio Daze version runs 3:56. It looks like it might be a fade difference.

I guess I did mix up the two tracks (not all pretty girls are nice girls). I do have the Radio Daze disc so I guess that is the one I will go with if that recent Arista Singles set has the song at a slower speed. This is what happens when the folks that compile these CDs don't have the vinyl 45s to compare the tracks to. It's no wonder they often have incorrect speeds and/or lengths (simply because they use the listed time on the single instead of the actual time).

If it's not an edit but simply an early fade then I'm fine with a good sounding track that runs just a few seconds longer than the 45 (I'm not a stickler if the file is simply four seconds longer than the single was).

As far as MM's "Arista Singles" set on Real Gone Records, I do know they were diligant about trying to use single mixes. I know because someone involved with the project reached out to me and asked me to supply 3 45 transfers to make sure what they had on tape matched the singles. So I know that was the case, but I can't speak for "Pretty Girls".
