   although not in the db because of it's low billboard chart 

peak position of number 33 in 1975, my commercial 45 for 

the al martino song 'volare' issued as capitol 4134 lists a 

run time on the label as 2:54 but actually runs 

2:53...you'll need to pitch up the 2:56 cd version to match 

the vinyl 45....thanks guys, for providing me with the 

source material!!

	I have just acquired a special 7" "disco", late 1975 promo 45 for "Volare". This version has the same stock # as does its 7" commercial copies (Capitol 4134). Both sides are stereo, have identical deadwax info of "S- PRO-8253-H-1", start with a cold intro, and have both a listed and actual time of (4:53). Between 11PM and 1AM on the top of this 45's label, it contains the five clear bold letters "DISCO", which Capitol typically utilized during the 1978/79 peak era of producing 12" disco singles. However, I don't think I'd ever seen it appear on a promo 7" before, until this copy. Since it was already 18 months after "Rock The Boat" crossed over from the discos to be a #1 hit, Capitol was clearly looking to exploit the then-breakout genre. So when 12" singles started popping up by 1977, they used the same logo they had for the surely few-in-number disco 7" promos, like this one.
