Before I thought to check the database, I wanted to create the 7" edit from my Cosmic Thing CD. I guessed at it about a year ago and still wound up about 15 seconds over.
Tonight, I realized I had the 45 so I sat down to figure out the cuts, in case anyone is curious. Here's how you piece it together - lots of little cuts miniaturizing the song. Much easier to buy the single somewhere. Remember, all times are from the long CD version:
1 - 0.00-0.03 (cut at the beat before "If you see")
2 - 0.07-1.09 (cut during the chorus)
3 - 1.16-2.16 (Cut during "whole shack shimmies")
4 - 2.25-2.52 (Cut from the 2nd riff to "Hop in my Chrysler")
5 - 3.00-3.32 (Cut from the 2nd horn toot to "Love...baby, that's where it's at")
6 - 3.40-3.47
7 - 3.54-4.02
8 - 4.17-4.26
9 - 4.33-END -
Then fade the applause at 4:18 (not 4:15 as listed on the record.)
This one has been relatively tricky to find - I believe the , as it's not

The edited 45 version is also available on a UK double CD compilation "The Greatest Hits Of 1990" (tcd 2439).

Unless I'm missing something, isn't the 45 available via several Rhino
comps?

All of the good signatures have been taken.

It is - on several discs!
In retrospect, I guess my post was (1) a lesson on the importance of checking the database before spending time chopping. Whoops. And:
(2) To help anyone interested in editing a CD version to time, rather than dropping a couple dollars on the edited version.
Nothing groundbreaking here, folks. :)

There was a commercial cd single with the 45 versions of both "Love Shack" and "Roam"

According to abagon, the actual and printed commercial 45 run time of the B-52's "Love Shack" is 4:15 and states "Edit" on the record label. At present, the database notes only the DJ CD single info.
