Regarding Prince's "When Doves Cry", the database currently states that commercial copies are all 3:49. This must be based on the time stated on the record label because abagon reports the actual run time at 3:47. I know this is just a two second difference, but the 3:47 time is in line most of the song's database CD appearances with the "45 length" comment.

Promo copies of this had the album verson on one side and the early-fade 3:49 version on the other.

I was all set to post label scans, but then remembered with whom we were dealing. So, for a limited time only, and with a wee bit of artistic license...

(Time's up. Scans deleted)
