The database notes the Association's "Six Man Band" has an actual 45 run time of 2:24. At present there are two CDs with a 2:24 run time, yet both contain the comment: "LP version but :12 longer". Not being familiar with the 45 version, can anyone point out the main difference(s) between the 45 version and the "LP version but :12 longer" entries?

Sure, Todd. The tipoff occurs at the end of the very first line:

Well, I'm a day at a time (baa-daa, baa-daa)
I'm a day at a time...

The two group harmony "baa-daa"s at the end of the first line (and continuing over the first part of the second line) are present on the LP version, but are absent from the 45.
