Pat, just FYI, I have recently acquired a commercial 45 for this song. And as I had thought in my earlier post, it does indeed feature the exact same, listed (3:28)/actual (3:42) version that is also on the shorter side of my promo 45.]]> Mon, 13 Sep 2010 21:59:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5685&PID=27774&title=james-browndont-be-a-dropout#27774 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5685&PID=26593&title=james-browndont-be-a-dropout#26593 Author: jimct

I only have a promo 45 for this song, which is confirmed as King 6056, and is vinyl. And, although neither one is correct, both sides have a listed time of (3:28). The shorter side of my promo has a white label, deadwax info of "K-45-12213", and an actual run time of (3:42). Although I don't own a commercial 45 for this song yet, I suspect that it is the same as this side of my promo is. Can anyone confirm this for me? The other, longer side of my promo 45 has a yellow label, and deadwax info of "K-12213   A". Just above the title on this side, inside a jagged rectangular box, it says "(A short personal message by James Brown"). This short, spoken message by JB at the start runs :25 seconds, and is immediately followed by the song itself. If I just added :25 to the (3:42) song length found on the other side, the total song length would then come to (4:07), which was my "expected, actual time". But instead, the actual time for this longer promo 45 side is longer still, at (4:13). So, for some reason, JB chose to also include :06 extra seconds of "song" to the side of his promo 45 that included his message. The Hip-O Select Singles Volume CD including this song runs (3:43), so that timing matches up with the shorter side of my promo 45. But the only current database CD featuring the "complete" version of the song (Star Time), runs (4:31). This is :18 longer than the long side of my promo 45 is, so anyone desiring to own the correct DJ 45 long version on CD has some editing work ahead.]]> Sun, 23 May 2010 10:16:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5685&PID=26593&title=james-browndont-be-a-dropout#26593
