Billy Paul-"Me And Mrs. Jones"

   Pat, I unexpectedly discovered tonight that my commercial 45 of this, which is stereo, and has a listed time of (4:42), has an actual time of (3:37)! My deadwax is "PHILA. INT'L, then "ZS7" crossed out, then "BA-ZS7-3521-3." This is, to my knowledge, the first stereo 45 appearance of a short version for this song, as my DJ 45 short version side appears in mono.

	Edit occurs at (2:05) and cuts to the verse that begins "well it's time for us to be leaving, it hurts so much, it hurts so much inside..."
	Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken.

	Seems there were two 45 pressings of this. My 45 is the full-length album version. It may depend on which side of the country you lived on that determined what version you got.
