All three of the current database CDs that state "45 Version" for this song state a time of (4:10). However, my commercial 45, and both sides of my promo 45, have listed times of (4:04) and actual times of (4:05).

Jim, my dj copy of this 45 states a running time of (4:04) but runs (4:07). Matrix number is ST-E-69564 A4 then R-15295 A4.

Pat, both sides of my promo 45 have the exact same matrix number: "ST-E-69564 A5"; mine doesn't have a second group of letters & numbers after it. So, I'd say that we have two different promo 45 lengths, sir. Some that actually run (4:05), and some that actually run (4:07). FYI, my commercial 45 also contains the exact same matrix number as my promo 45 has. And since the actual (4:05) version appears on both my stock & promo configurations, I'd say that your current listed (4:04), actual (4:07) database notation is a bit misleading.
