| My promo 45 has a "Short Version" on one side of it, with a listed time of (3:34), an actual time of (3:37), and appears to be just about identical to Abagon's commercial 45. However, the other side of my promo 45, the "Long Version", has a listed time of (4:15), but an actual time of (4:10). Current database CDs which state "LP length" for this song range in time from (4:01) to (4:07). The last few seconds of my (4:10) promo 45 are barely audible, but they are definitely there. And just for the record, this 45 side simply includes a few extra seconds of the song's instrumental ending than the "LP length" sources do. |

The actual LP running time is (4:10) as well as Jim's promo 45 report. All the "LP length" CDs on the database are shorter than the vinyl LP. (title "Partners In Crime" - Infinity INF 9020. The listed time 4:15 on the LP record label.)

Was this single on Infinity? I recall some pressings of Escape (the Pina Colada Song) and Him were on MCA Records. This LP and the hit singles were released right when Infinity Records folded. ------------- I turn up the good and turn down the bad! |

I've never seen a copy of "Him" on Infinity. |

| Infinity was merged into MCA as "Escape" was heading up the charts, I thought it was odd that a label went defunct with a number one record on the chart. So I doubt that "Him" was ever issued on Infinity. |

Exactly what I thought, wild seeing a label with a #1 hit as it folded. Like some late ABC Records hits which hit peak on the charts after MCA took over. ------------- I turn up the good and turn down the bad! |
