My promo 45 has a listed (3:30), but actual (3:27) version on one side, which matches up with the 3 CDs lengths currently found in the database. Despite the fact that, by 1985 standards, this really wasn't that long of a song in the first place, the other side of the promo 45 states (Edited Version), and has a listed and actual time of (3:02). This was one of my very favorite 80s "Coulda/woulda/shoulda been, but wasn't" a smash Top 40 hit - IMHO, I always thought it to be a perfect pop record.

As a supplement to Jim's informative promo 45 info... Abagon reports the actual commercial 45 run time of Greg Kihn's "Lucky" is 3:27, not 3:30 as stated on the record label.

Anyone know how to edit the 3:27 version down to its 3:02 promo counterpart?

Very simple edit on this one, removing from 1:50.159 - 2:15.094.
