not a Top 40 hit but peaking at #60 in 1975, the 45 states a run time of
3:07, but the version on "20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection"
runs 3:19. Anyone can confirm if the single states an incorrect run time
and/or if the "20th Century Masters" version is the 45?

I timed my 45 at (3:06). It looks like they were trying to recreate the 45 version on the 20th Century Masters CD, but missed one edit. On the 45 version there is an additional edit from (2:43) to (2:58), give or take a second. The version on the CD fades out a second or two earlier, resulting in the net time difference of thirteen seconds.

This song was a much bigger hit in Canada, reaching #16 on the RPM chart.
