ike tina turner proud mary

my commercial 45 for the ike & tina turner song 'proud
mary' states the run time on the label as 3:15 but actually
only runs 3:12.....if you fade the 3:20 cd version for 0:05
from 3:07 to 3:12 you'll effectively re-create the vinyl 45
version...

I believe you can if you shorten the slower intro section
by removing a section of the verse and then remove an
entire verse from the faster section.
IIRC, the correct short edit appears on Time Life's Sounds
of The Seventies 1971 but I could be wrong.

I have an edit that fades out at 3:15 on a VA compilation called, "Dance Sixties" on the JCI Label from the late 80's. If the 45 runs 3:12 like Ed mentioned, I suppose the edit on this comp could be the same as the 45, just 3 seconds slower.

As a side note, I'm curious as to why this song is on a compilation called "Dance Sixties" when it was released and became a hit in 1971.
