That K-Tel compilation seems to have the same listed
running time for the song as the one on "Greatest Hits".
Has anyone determined if the 45 is just an early fade of
the 3:47 version, or if it's a different mix?

I did an A/B comparison of the LP version from the Greatest
Hits cd and a 45 dub I received a while back. Assuming the
45 was recorded at the correct pitch, it appears you need
to speed up the LP version by approx 0.75% and the fade
starts about 7 seconds earlier on the 45 vs LP (fade starts
about 3:27.5 on 45 and approx 3:34 on the LP) These timings
are not precise but a close approximation.

The 3:47 album version on the Show Me and Greatest Hits CDs run exactly the same speed; the latter is just mastered louder (slightly brickwalled, DR 8 instead of 11).

YouTuber HitsTownUSA plays the 45 on a 1200 which I would assume has the pitch slider at the zero mark. In another one of his videos you can see the green LED for 0% pitch is lit up.

His dub runs 0.67% faster than the CDs. After trimming intro silence, the fade begins right after "actions speak louder than words" at 3:28, ending halfway through the last me "me" in "show me, show me" at 3:39.8; you can hear the snare+clap at that moment, but nothing after.
