"Open The Door To..." - Darrell Banks

Thanks, Paul. This is helpful because two of the database CDs containing "Open the Door to Your Heart" run at the correct 45 length, while all other CDs run :06 longer.

There must've been a commercial 45 pressing variation for this 45, as my
timing info disagrees with Paul Haney's report of Mr. Whitburn's 45 at RR. My
copy of Revilot 401 is on the pink label, is vinyl, with handwritten deadwax
info of "ZTSC-107683". Like Paul's report, my copy has a listed time of
(2:37), but my copy actually runs just (2:25).

I will soon have Aaron compare my 45 against either the Eric or Rhino CD,
both of which I own, and both of which run (2:28) like Paul's, so I can find
out what's missing from my 45. I likely own a rarer pressing.   

You know what, Tom? I think you're right about that. I've never seen a
Revilot stock 45 that wasn't on styrene, either! I am suspicious. I am soon
sending it out to Aaron, for his analysis. I will get back to you. Thanks for
the assist!

Of late, I have been trying to acquire the *very* few remaining, missing
Top 40-peaking, stock 45 copies from my 60's collection. The problem?
These songs are rare, collectable, pricey, and still in demand. As such,
songs in this category are more of a risk to be bootlegged. As I was only
in 3rd grade back in 1966, I had to use my milk money for milk, not 45s!
:) So I'm now almost done, playing "catchup" on acquiring the last of
these. Please forgive me if the eBay gremlins throw me an occasional
"curve ball" in the process. We'll smoke 'em out!

my commercial copy runs 2:28 and has the etching 'ZTSC-
107683-4D' and then on the opposite side running the same
parallel 'T/1' in the run out groove......my commercial 45
has the underlining of 'revilot records' on a slant and not
on the same plane as the lettering of the title of the
song.......mine is also grey and NOT pink.......do i have a
bootleg version?.......paul haney, is your copy pink or
grey?

so...the question still remains....which color was the
originally issued version....the grey or pink?....
