Another valuable contribution comes to us from abagon... The actual commercial 45 run time of Spandau Ballet's "Only When You Leave" is 4:45, not 4:48 as stated on the record label.

Thank you Bill C! I wasn't even aware of this until you brought it to my attention. I always thought the 4:45 was it even with the crazy long beginning intro.

It is one of my favorite songs yet it never hit top 40.

No problem. It's one of my favorites, too.

I'm assuming that the opening edit is the removal of the
repeating melody,so this fades out during the "Take This
Soul
Away" line with "Away" being the last thing heard in the
fade? It seems to be such a poor fading point.
