The actual commercial 45 run time of Marvin Gaye's "How Can I Forget" is 2:03. (Timing info once again comes courtesy of Jim. The printed record label time is 2:04.) I post this info because database CD run times range from 1:55 to 2:02.

Does anyone have the Marvin Gaye parent vinyl LP That's the Way Love Is from 1970 on Tamla who can verify the song's run time on it? I ask because the "How Can I Forget" runs 1:55, :07 shorter than the 45, on both of the album's CD reissues in the database. This leads me to believe there's a significant difference between the 45 and LP length.
