1984 SISTER CHRISTIAN  dj copies of this 45 ran (3:55) and (4:04); commercial copies were all (4:04); actual 45 time is (4:14) not (4:04) as stated on the commercial and dj copies

I just received a dub of the DJ 45 (the version without the guitar solo), and the actual run time is (3:59).  Without having the actual 45, I cannot say if this has the printed run time of (3:55), but if so, that time would be incorrect.

	I have the commercial 45 and the DJ 45 (which states on label "without guitar solo"). They are not the same edit. My commercial 45 does time out to 4:14. My dub of the other version timed out to 3:59. Edited by cmmmbase

	Chuck, you are correct that the actual time is (3:59). I didn't take off the blank space at the beginning of my dub. However, Pat's info would need to be updated as the (3:55) printed time is off by four seconds.

	on another note regarding this song.....i have the "big 80's" vh1 cd and it has the proper 45 version, but this song on this cd is very very hissy....the fade out is almost unlistenable.....does anyone else have a cd with the 45 version on it that are not hissy.....i see there are some time life cd's which have the correct 45 version....

	The Rhino Omigod box set has a much less hissy version, although it runs slower than the 45 version. If I had to make an educated guess, I would say Rhino made an edit of the LP version to match the 45, as the box set version runs at the LP speed. More evidence: My copies of the LP version are far less hissy than that VH1 CD.

	bumping this one up to the top for the new viewers......does anyone have the proper 45 of this song that's not so hissy......i just reviewed the song again and the big 80's vh1 cd version is unbearable to listen to....unbelievably hissy....or can the 45 version be extracted from the lp version and matched for the correct speed??

	I have 2 promo singles of this, and both are very hissy sounding (the no-guitar version especially so). Indeed, the VH1 Big 80s CD is pristine by comparison. I wonder if anything cleaner even exists.
