The actual commercial 45 run time of Pat Benatar's "Promises in the Dark" is 4:45, not 4:48 as stated on the record label. (These timings are courtesy of abagon.) Pat, the database currently states: "commercial copies were all 4:48", but I suspect this may be based on the timing info Joel Whitburn supplies in his Billboard Record Research publications.

If anyone has the DJ 45, it would probably be a good idea to check the printed vs. actual run times on it as well.

The DJ 45 has the promo-only edit on one side and the LP/45 version (referred to as "Long Version") on the other, only the labels are pasted on the wrong sides.

The DJ Edit just made its CD debut on the new 2 CD compilation Pat Benatar: Ultimate Collection.
