On all CDs containing Diana Ross' 'Gettin' Ready For Love' listed in the database, the running time of this song is 2:44-2:45. The database indicates this as the LP length, but this is also the length of my 45 (matrix M1427F-64925-S-RE2-06A). The printed time is 2:45. Joel Whitburn's Pop Annual 1955-1999 gives the running time as 2:55.

My commercial 45 has the exact same deadwax info, and I can confirm all of Paul C's other details as well. Further, both the mono and stereo sides of my promo 45 have a listed time of (2:45), and also come in with an actual time right between (2:44) and (2:45). It would appear that an actual (2:55) 45 version for this song does not actually exist, unless a 2nd commercial 45 was put out for it.

One final note, before we put this one to bed: I did a poor job of explaining one detail. Although both my stock and promo copies have an actual time of (2:45), my commercial 45 DOES state a listed time of (2:55). So, to consistently apply Pat's long-established standards in this case, something like "commercial copies list a time of (2:55), but actually run (2:45)" should be added, to alert folks to the bogus stock 45 listed time.

Pat, since I first posted about this 4 years ago, I noticed in the db that both
the 45 & LP versions run around the same time. What is the tipoff for you
between one and the other? Because I now own two promo copies for this;
both mono/stereo, all listed times (2:45). One has an "RE-2" on both sides,
while the other has an "RE-3" on both sides. I'm wondering if one of my
promos might actually include the LP version on it. Finally, if anyone
happens to own a promo 45 with either no "RE" designation on it, and/or an
"RE-1", perhaps they could pass along its details, for full assessment
purposes.

Jim, I have the RE-3 dj 45 and on this version there are handclaps on the introduction which are not found on the LP version. I do not have a commercial copy to check and see if there are handclaps present so can you listen to your commercial copy to see if there are handclaps present on the introduction?

There are versions of this song found on CD releases that have no handclaps on the intro.
However, there are versions of this song found on CD releases that do have the handclaps on the intro.
Pat reports above that his DJ 45 has the handclaps. It appears the LP version has no handclaps on the intro.
The online database may need to be updated to indicate which US CD releases have which version.
We also may still need a 1978 commercial 45 to see what version appeared on that (with or without the handclaps).

I have a dub of the promo 45 on my hard drive, and it does not contain the handclaps. I'll grab my copy of the commercial 45 to see what's on it, but it might take a few days before I can get to it.

I have 3 copies of 'Gettin' Ready For Love' by Diana Ross on Motown 1427 RE-2 and all 3 have no handclaps. However, on my re-issue of it on Collectables/Motown 749, it does include handclaps. Figure that out. Hmmm. -Bill.

Bill, are your three copies of "Gettin' Ready for Love" all identical commercial 45 pressings?
