addrissi bros--slow dancin don’t turn..

anyone know if the 45 version of the addrisi bros hit "slow dancin' don't turn me on" is on cd........all the cd versions run about 3:12 in length while the 45 runs 3:21, even though the 45 face says the run time is 3:12...........it really runs 3:21.........

<the 45 face says the run time is 3:12...........it really runs 3:21.>

I know record labels often purposely shorten the time printed on the label (to get more stations to play it), but in this case, I wonder if it was simply a case of dyslexia of the typist. Whatever the case, as a result, the people behind the Buddah box saw a 3:12 run time listed on the 45, and thus shortened the album version to 3:12 for the CD.

This reminds me of what happened on the J. Geils box set with the studio version of "Where Did Our Love Go." The 45 runs 3:00, but the tape source used for the CD was very slow. As a result, the song would have run 3:06 at this speed, but the sound producer must have seen the single time listed as 3:00, and this slow version ends exactly at 3:00, too, and as a result, we're missing the last 6 seconds which has a unique piano ad lib that can't be found anywhere else. I wish Bill Inglot, or someone else involved with that project, would have A-B'd the tape source with the 45 and realized the speed issue and when the 45 actually ended.

Anyone ever confirm if the US 45 actually runs 3:21 or 3:11? Also has the longer version that runs 5:30 ever appeared on an import CD? This longer version was the b-side of the commercial 45.

So possible case where the 45 was issued in two lengths?

ed,

we need you to check your 45, as you seem to be the only one reporting this
longer runtime.
