| The run times listed in the database for this song vary by as much as seven seconds, with the longest being 3:45 on "AM Gold: 60s Generation." Most seem to run about 3:40. Anyone own the 45 that can time it for me (or send me a dub)? Thanks. |

| Brian, I have just pulled out my original 45 for you. It has no listed time at all on the label, but it has an actual time of (3:40). If you still need me to shoot you out an mp3 dub, to assist you with your "Mellow Yellow" research, just let me know. |

Epic, for some reason did not list the time on their commercial 45s until mid-1967. Time was listed on promos though.
Any idea why? Other CBS subsidiaries/distributed labels listed the times. |

A million thanks, Jim! If you've already got the dub on your PC, I'll be glad to take it. If not, don't bother doing it again. |

It was probably just their policy, perhaps to have less clutter on the label (or maybe so you wouldn't feel cheated buying a 1:34 Dave Clark Five single.) :) Those Pearl Jam commmercial labels with the retro yellow Epic logo looked very clean, especially with the UPCs printed on the sleeves instead of the labels. More music, less clutter: Columbia and Epic commercial 45s also rarely stated the publishing credits that were listed on the promos. |
