It was probably just their policy, perhaps to have less clutter on the label (or maybe so you wouldn't feel cheated buying a 1:34 Dave Clark Five single.) :)

Those Pearl Jam commmercial labels with the retro yellow Epic logo looked very clean, especially with the UPCs printed on the sleeves instead of the labels.

More music, less clutter: Columbia and Epic commercial 45s also rarely stated the publishing credits that were listed on the promos. ]]> Fri, 30 May 2008 18:46:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3558&PID=16732&title=donovan-mellow-yellow#16732 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3558&PID=16729&title=donovan-mellow-yellow#16729 Author: Brian W.

A million thanks, Jim! If you've already got the dub on your PC, I'll be glad to take it. If not, don't bother doing it again.]]> Fri, 30 May 2008 18:32:55 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3558&PID=16729&title=donovan-mellow-yellow#16729 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3558&PID=16726&title=donovan-mellow-yellow#16726 Author: Hykker

Epic, for some reason did not list the time on their commercial 45s until mid-1967. Time was listed on promos though.
Any idea why? Other CBS subsidiaries/distributed labels listed the times.]]> Fri, 30 May 2008 17:36:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3558&PID=16726&title=donovan-mellow-yellow#16726 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3558&PID=16719&title=donovan-mellow-yellow#16719 Author: jimct

The run times listed in the database for this song vary by as much as seven seconds, with the longest being 3:45 on "AM Gold: 60s Generation." Most seem to run about 3:40. Anyone own the 45 that can time it for me (or send me a dub)? Thanks.]]> Wed, 28 May 2008 14:52:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3558&PID=16681&title=donovan-mellow-yellow#16681
