Gary’s Gang-"Keep On Dancin’"

I have two different commercial 45 pressings for this. The first one I bought has a listed time of (3:45), but an actual time of (3:36). Deadwax info is "ZSS165323". But my other commercial 45 has both a listed & actual time of (3:45), with deadwax info of "ZSS 165323-2A".

You are correct. Todd. At long last, that was my last 1970's post, at least for the time being. Although I still don't own/can't find about 1% of the Top 40 peakers of the 1970's at this moment (and I'm currently working to reel in a good many of those, as we speak, so some future 70's song posts will no doubt still be trickling in from me.) It's honestly taken me a tremendous amount of time and effort, especially when you consider that about 75% of the 70's 45 did fall within the Board's established ":00-:01-:02 listed/actual time differences are not noted" category. Refecting back, I believe that Pat's original policy, to "post time differences of :03 or more", has really done what it was supposed to do here. Becuase of it, many subtle edit/speed differences have been uncovered, thanks to these "borderline-insignificant" :03 or :04 time variations (like with the "Every 1's A Winner" (3:35 vs. 3:39), :04 "incorrect edit" difference, that Aaron has just solved for us!) But, for me, the same amount of time and effort had to also go into figuring out when there weren't differences, that (thankfully) didn't require posts, unless the database CDs had time variances. Like you, Todd, I believe it to be impossible to be certain that what we think we may already have on CD as the "45 Version" of actually IS, unless the original 45 is closely examined first, in all cases. And since I happen to own 99% of these 45s, and realizing that fact that most of you guys don't, it became apparent to me that I would need to "step up" here, for the cause. Thanks for the kind words, Todd - they are very much appreciated.

Amen to that!

FYI, the (3:36) version is just an earlier fade of the (3:45) version.
