eurythmics "love is a stranger"

my commercial 45 issued as rca 13618 lists a run time on the label of 3:43 but actully runs only 3:40, and is identical to the version from the below cd

(S) (3:39) Arista 8680 Greatest Hits   


....this should be noted in the db....

FWIW, I just discovered a CD called "The Very Best Of Pop Music 1983-84" from 1996 in Denmark, and it has the longest tail on the single/LP version of this song I've found in my collection. Compared to the actual single/LP release, it adds almost 4 seconds to the end.

I realize that isn't accurate to the original release, but for completists I thought you might want to hunt this down. Since there was never an extended version of the single/LP mix, I don't know where they obtained these extra few seconds. Sound quality is excellent, with no obvious digital limiting or compression. Fade is clean but I don't hear noise reduction. All it really adds is a few instrumental bars, as Annie stops singing at 3:35. This version plays a hair faster than the version in Ron's library, but that likely has to do with mastering differences. This version runs from downbeat to final audio, 3:43.167.
