Pat, your current database comment for this song states "actual 45 time is (3:56) not (3:34) as stated on the record label". Perhaps there were two different commercial 45s for this song issued, especially since mine includes an "RE-1" suffix. My stock 45, confirmed as Motown 1462, has both a listed and actual time of (3:59). My 45's deadwax info is "M1462F 65605-A-RE1-14A".

I just had a chance to analyze both 45 versions, and the differences are very subtle. Basically, the RE-1 issue pushes the lead vocal and horns back in the mix ever-so-slightly, while the bongos are brought forward.
There is no new instrumentation or vocals, and no added reverb that I can detect.
Which version is commonly found on CD?

For what it's worth... In situations where two mixes of a song differ very slightly like in the case of "The Boss", Pat typically doesn't list or distinguish them as separate versions/mixes in the database (though correct me if I'm wrong, Pat).

Very true, Todd. That's why I thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone knows of any differences between the CD versions.
