The database contains running times of between 5:57 and 6:03 (not including the slow versions), with the 45 timing indicated as 5:53. I have a version where the end fades on the guitar at about 6:00, while another has the sound effects of the next track (from "Greatest Hits") over it beginning at about 5:51.
How did the original 45 and LP end, and how long did they actually run? Whitburn's Pop Aunnual timing is 5:58. At any rate, database should be updated to refect the conclusions reached. Edited by davidclark |

I can't help on dc1's question, but while we're at it, I'm curious about the
promo (4:05ish) edit. I remember someone mentioned picking the promo up recently. Can anyone describe the edits? I made one for my station, based on some guesswork, but I'd like to know how Epic did it. Thanks - Eric |

Is it possible the version from the Don't Look Back CD from 1978 would be the same length as the original stock 45? Haven't looked in the database, but that's a guess.

My U.S. commercial 45 has a printed run time of 5:53 but actually runs 6:00.
A while ago, I purchased the track from the Don't Look Back CD from iTunes and it is a couple of seconds shorter due to the fade-out being truncated. I don't have the full Don't Look Back LP/CD, so I don't know if the sound effect during the fade-out bleeds into the next track. It is audible near the end of the fade-out of the 45, but the 45 has a clean fade-out (not truncated). The only physical CD I have on which the song appears is the Rock America CD. To my ears (and stopwatch) this version is identical to the 45 (same length, speed, and fade-out.) |

There's no break on the LP. The audio continues across the band during the segue between the fade and the sound effect, so there's no exact point at which the tracks change. |
