This 45 hit #1 in my area in '68. Both my promo and stock 45s say (2:25), actually run a second longer than that. I thought the (2:19) CD versions ended too early! I'll leave it to the Board to determine if the mono 45 is a unique mix - could be, though.

Jim, the LP running time is (2:18) so I am sure that is where the (2:19) cd running time comes from.

The version on CD is about 2% sped up compared with the vinyl 45. If the LP also runs at the same pitch/speed as the CD, then probably a comment like "LP speed and length" would be appropriate. As Jim correctly points out above, the 45 length is (2:26). Other than stereo/mono differences, the mixes are the same.
