My good friend Jim reports the actual and printed commercial 45 run time of Grand Funk's "The Loco-Motion" is 2:45. I'm passing along this info because database CD appearances of this song without additional studio talk run 2:40-2:46.

I've been trying to confirm something about this song for a while now, and was hoping someone here come help me.
I swear I remember Casey Kasem telling a story on AT40 about the distorted guitar solo. He said it was a result of a tape accident in the studio, where the deck "ate" the tape and after saving and playing it back, the band decided to leave it that way. I've looked online over and over, and can find nothing to verify my memory on this. Anyone here ever heard this? Or is my memory just flat out wrong? |

I just listened to every intro of "The Loco-Motion" on AT40 and there was never any mention of a tape accident in the studio. |
