   I know this one is on both Pat's and my own "want lists", and I have just sent a PM to the person who I consider to be this Board's #1 DJ 45 expert for the 60s/70s, Gary Mack. Two years ago, a friend of mine got a dub download, from someone he trusted, of what is supposedly the DJ 45 short version, running (2:53), but I cannot confirm its authenticity - anyone? I've also heard Friends Of Distinction had a DJ short v of "Going In Circles", but a friend of mine thought that version may have been put out at a later time, as a subsequent 45 "re-release." Finally, still looking for any DJ 45 short v info on "Suspicious Minds", as I often heard DJs begin to talk over the end of the song, as if it were fading out, at around the (3:00) mark.

	Not that this helps you any regarding "Suspicious Minds", but when I worked in AM radio we talked over the end pretty early since the limiter reduced the effect of the fade in/out and otherwise it's just eight bars looped.

	Gary Mack was kind enough to respond to me via PM. He states he played all three of these as currents, and did NOT play a shorter version of ANY of the three on-air. Now I'm REALLY wondering where that 2:53 version of "In The Summertime" that my buddy got sent on-line came from....Thanks VERY much for your valuable (as usual) info, Gary.
