HALL & OATES - Did It In A Minute

"Did It In A Minute" :by DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES (1982)
My stock 45(RCA PB-13065) actual running time is (3:25)
not (3:37)as stated on the record label.
This tune on vinyl LP "Private Eyes"issued U.S.'s running time is (3:36)
This single is simply faded earlier than the LP.

Confirm,please.

I'm in the process of digitally re-creating the 45 fade of Daryl Hall & John Oates' "Did It in a Minute" out of one of my CD sources. Abagon is absolutely correct that the 45 is an early fade of the LP. Pat, you might want to add "LP length" comments next to each of the song's CD entries in the database for the benefit of your subscribers.

Fourteen years later... The 45 is a unique mix, but the differences are subtle.

I played my promo 45 today, and at the very beginning there is something that sounds like a splice during the first note. This immediately stood out to me, and it made me want to investigate the entire song a bit further. To my surprise, I found that the 45 puts the electric guitars and piano in the center, while the LP mix has them slightly panned. There are other places where the 45 version mixes the vocals a bit louder, especially during the last part of each verse during the key change.

Presumably the stock 45 has the same mix, but I'll have to pull my copy to double check.

It's not the LP mix narrowed, because that was what I initially thought. The guitars and piano are dead center, while the vocals and drums still have stereo panning.

To my knowledge no it has not made CD.
