I was wondering if anyone could please furnish some 45 and/or LP run time information for the following Top 40 hits by Peggy Scott & JoJo Benson because a wide range of run times exist on CD for each:

Lover's Holiday - CD run times range from 2:36 to 2:49.

Pickin' Wild Mountain Berries - CD run times range from 2:38 to 2:50.

Soul Shake - CD run times range from 2:41 to 2:46.

Do any or all of the above songs have different 45 and LP lengths that should perhaps be reported in the database?

Todd, my master book says I do own a commercial 45 for "Lover's Holiday", but it is not in its proper place at the moment - perhaps good-hearted Paul Haney can come to our combined rescue for that one. Here's the scoop on the other two, from my commercial 45s:

-Pickin' Wild Mountain Berries--listed time (2:50); actual time (2:53), which unfortunately puts it outside the database's current (2:38-2:50) CD time ranges.

-Soulshake--listed time (2:24); actual time (2:22), which puts all database CDs between :19 and :24 seconds longer than the actual 45 length.

I have posted some LP running times for these 3 songs in the database. Todd the times in the database for Soul Shake are completely different than what you are reporting above - are you sure you mean Soul Shake?

Pat, simply for database bookkeeping purposes, my commercial 45 shows the title as "Soulshake", not "Soul Shake."

Our commercial 45 copy of "Lover's Holiday" has a listed and actual time of (2:34).

Pat:

Apprarently, I must have been looking at some other song entry in the database when I reported the CD run time range for "Soulshake". Not sure how it happened, but somehow I recorded the wrong run times. Sorry.

'lovers's holiday' issued as sss int'l 736 lists the run
time on the label as 2:34 but actually runs 2:37.....the
run out groove info is '711-278'...paul, can you re-check
you timing, maybe there are two pressings??....
