   My 1969 commercial 45, which is stereo and confirmed as RCA 0161, has a listed time of (2:43), but an actual time of (2:40). Current database timings for its "original recording" CD appearances range from (2:40) to (2:50).

	i agree jim, my vinyl 45 also runs 2:40....if you fade the 2:49 running version for 0:09 from 2:31 to 2:40 you can effectively re-create the proper vinyl 45 version......pat..the db note needs to be updated as the db states the 45's run time is 2:44....

	Could the 2:44 run time come from the earlier RCA 45 from June 1968, RCA Victor 47-9544 ? I see it is mono and has a different matrix number than the May 1969 pressing, RCA Victor 74-0161, which is stereo.
	Live in stereo.

	[edited] for those of you liking oddities, I have a version of this song that is mixed different from the standard stereo version. It is from a 1989 UK CD on Teledisc titled "Our Generation" (shown in Discogs). Most interesting is that the vocal "wooah, woah woah woahs" starting at 1:11 is single tracked, whereas in the normal version it is double-tracked. I wonder if the European version was different, or if it was remixed for this CD. Edited by davidclark

	Yes, my running time of (2:44) was the running time of RCA 9544. I will make note of the two different releases and their different running times in the database.

	I don't know if the version on "Our Generation" to which davidclark refers is the same one as appears on the UK TRAX release "Sixties Vol 3 Baby Boomer Classics" BBCD1005 but it is definitely different than the US popular release. It is a different mix and sounds like a different take. Actual time is 2:30 and is in stereo.

	I believe I can answer my own question. Someone sent me the song from the new "The RCA Albums Collection" box set. The "dumped second voice & remixed" version is from his 1971 LP "Aerial Pandemonium Ballet". It's the same version I have on the UK CD all these years. Edited by davidclark

	Pat, the mono version of this onThe RCA Albums Collection contains echo on his lead vocal. Is that the original 45?

	I have an original yellow-label promo 45 from the first issue and it does indeed have echo on his vocal.
