My commercial 45, confirmed as Parrot 40012, has a listed time of (3:28), but an actual time of (3:35). Right off the bat, my 45 sounded noticably slower than the CD I used to dub onto my iPod from, and have heard on there recently. My 45 is styrene, with deadwax info of "DR 39546-BW".

my commercial 45 is the same as your jim's with the same
listed and actual times of 3:28 and 3:35.....my run out
groove info is almost the same as yours but is 'DR 39546-
LD'.....i don't detect a pitch difference, but the vinyl 45
runs longer than the cd dub i have which only runs
3:29...the last lyrics heard on my cdr dub is 'i wanna go
home, come on'.....while the vinyl 45 goes on as 'i wanna
go home, come on woman, i wanna go-o-o home, whoa-a-a-
a'....

does anyone have the LP on which this song originally appeared ("Funny
Familiar Forgotten Feelings" in the US and "Green, Green Grass of Home" in
the UK) to verify the runtime there?
