Has the 45 version for this song showed up on CD anywhere? If Whitburn is correct, it runs the same length as the LP version, 4:21. Was the single a different mix?

My white label dj copy of "Round And Round" runs 3:45 while Whitburn lists the running time of the commercial 45 as 4:21.

I checked into this one a few months ago. My friend has a copy of the DJ 45, and it contains both an edited version and the LP version. There is no difference in the mix between the versions on the 45 and the version I have on CD. I can't say for sure, but I believe commercial copies all have the LP version.

By the way, there is only one edit, which is at the guitar solo, and it fades a little earlier than the LP.

Oh... I'd assumed you'd listed the 4:21 version in the book as "LP Version" because the commercial 45 was different. Good to know it's not a different mix.

So what's the official consensus? Is the commercial 45 of Ratt's "Round and Round" the same version that has appeared on all CDs so far? In other words, is the edit only found on DJ copies?
