The 45 pictured in the YouTube video is a UK 45. Is it
possible it ran longer than the U.S. 45?]]> Sat, 13 Mar 2021 12:16:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=57660&title=car-wash-rose-royce#57660 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=57657&title=car-wash-rose-royce#57657 Author: VWestlife

The answer to my own question is yes -- I found a 45 of "Car Wash" on YouTube and it starts fading after 3:00, while the Billboard CD version keeps going a while longer before fading.

However, the database says the actual time of the 45 version is 3:13 (or 3:12 for the promo), but on this 45 it actually does run to the stated time of 3:18:

Is the ":18 longer than the 45 version" copy of "Car Wash" on "Billboard Top Hits 1977" simply a longer fade than the 45 version?

Jim informs me his commercial 45 copy of Rose Royce's "Car Wash" has an actual run time of 3:13, not 3:18 as stated on the record label.]]> Tue, 26 May 2009 08:48:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4956&PID=22356&title=car-wash-rose-royce#22356
