In Pat's database...although all entries are noted as the 45 version..the timings range from 3:48 to 4:03...quite a difference.

The version on RGM's singles collection is 3:48, which was vetted by Aaron K.

So what are the others? And...if they're also single versions, why not a notation such as "runs xx seconds longer than the 45 version?"

I've seen discrepancies like this on other titles, too. Some have been addressed here; some have not.

I've bumped up the other threads for this song.

Not sure, but I think the answer's in there somewhere!

From what I can gather, the full LP length is 4:03, the
commercial 45 length is the LP length faded to 3:51. The
promo 45 length fades the song even earlier to 3:48.

There were definitely 3 or 4 different times
thrown around for commercial 45 releases...
