The only CD on which I have the song 'Run Sampson Run' by Neil Sedaka is All Time Greatest Hits. The first six seconds of the instrumental intro heard on the CD are not on my US commercial 45 (RCA Vuctor 7781).

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this but it appears Run Samson Run first appeared on a Neil Sedakla LP titled "Sings Little Devil And His Other Hits" and on that LP they used the full length introduction so every appearance to date features the LP version of this hit.

On "All Time Greatest Hits" RCA 6876-2-R the instrumental intro is, in fact, there. On "The Very Best of Neil Sedaka" 2 CD Set Universal Music TV 564-645-2 the instrumental is not there. It starts out with the vocal "In the Bible one thousand years B.C.". Time is 2:42. This is an English import CD.
