I only own a mono/stereo promo 45 for this. Both sides state a running time of (3:06), as does my Whitburn book. The actual time for my mono side is (3:11), and the actual time for my stereo side is (3:08). Database CD runtimes go from (3:14) to (3:29). Could a kindly commercial 45 owner perhaps get us a "definitive" timing?

The commercial 45 is mono and runs 3:11.

An answer in five minutes. How's that for service!

interesting....my commercial 45 issued as atlantic 2852
only runs 3:09......the run out groove info is 'A-21042-11'
'AT/DK'...it IS possible that the add'l 0:02 is buried in
the surface noise, but i can't hear any music or lyrics at
all....paul, can you re-time your 45?...if you fade to 'man
and half' cd version or 0:10 from 2:59 to 3:09, you can
effectively re-create the vinyl 45 version....
