I was revisiting this #83 Beach Boys "hit" from 1980 and
I realized that the version on Greatest Hits Vol 3: The
Best of The Brother Years runs noticeably faster than
all the other versions that I have. Does anyone know
offhand if this is the true 45 speed or just an anomaly?

It's pretty darn close to the 45 speed. The CD track does run faster than my DJ 45, but certainly not by a very noticeable amount: the difference is about 1.079 second.

However, the tip of the fade is about six-tenths of a second shorter on the 45, clipping off the final drum beat heard at the end of the CD track. In the end, the speed difference isn't really significant.

Timings:

DJ 45: 2:58.4
CD: 2:57.9

Thanks for the 45 timing. The timing for the version on
the Good Vibrations Box is 3:01.5, so there's a 2% speed
difference between the CD versions.

By the way, the Made In California Box is pitched the
same as the Good Vibrations box, but dumps the fade a
few seconds early.
