Just wondering if anyone has the actual 45 run time for The Diamonds version of "Words Of Love" from 1957. The listed time appears to be 1:53, but the lone cd in the database states the time as 2:12. My only copy of this song is from the Rhino LP "Best Of The Diamonds" released in the 1980's, and on here the song runs 1:57.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thought I'd bring this up again because I still haven't found an answer. Hoping somebody here knows? I would feel the need to purchase the Diamonds cd or the 45 if the run time is indeed 2:12. (I'm hopeful someone can save me some money!)
Thanks,
Jon O.

jono,
I just checked my copy of Mercury 5327342 "The Best Of" CD
and it runs 1:57.
I think the confusion may be a simple typo in the database
listed time.

Mark -
Thank you so much. I'm thinking that my Rhino LP contains the correct
version then. Much appreciated!
I guess this means we'll have to recheck the runtime on The Diamonds'
Best Of cd. I can't imagine that there would be any difference in the 45
vs. the LP, if there even IS a version of this song on an original album.

my commercial 45 for the diamonds song 'words of love'
issued as mercury 71128 list a run time on the label as
1:53 but actually runs 1:56.....the cd i have of the song
on a portugal import titled 'the diamonds: little darlin';
25 golden hits' issued as remember rmb 75072 contains the
proper mono vinyl 45 version....

Thanks, Ed, for checking your 45. Much appreciated!
Mark, I'm sorry I misunderstood your earlier comments. For some
reason I thought you were referring to your 45, even though you
specifically mentioned your copy of The Diamonds' cd. Boy, for a guy
who prides himself on noticing things, I sure missed the obvious! I
haven't checked, but I'm sure Pat will fix the database, if he hasn't
already.
Well, I guess that does indeed answer all of my questions regarding
this song. Thanks again, gentlemen!
