According to the database, CD entries for Elvis Presley's "If You Talk in Your Sleep" range anywhere from 2:25 to 2:33, yet there are currently no associated comments to help explain the run time discrepencies. If anyone who has the vinyl 45 or the parent LP could kindly relay the song's run time info, it will help me determine if there's a length, edit, or speed difference between the 45 and LP.

Couple of points:

My 45 run time appears to be 2:26, with 2:25 on the label. HOWEVER my copy is an RCA Gold Standard Reissue 45, not an original.

If mine matches the original 45 though, there is no speed difference with the second CD issue of Elvis' Greatest Volume 5 with the 2:33 run time. It's just a longer fade out.

HOWEVER there is a mix difference on the fade out. The reissue 45 has Elvis popping back on with what appears to just be the word "name". (At this point of the fade out it's just the girls singing). On Elvis Volume 5 he does NOT pop back in. That really sounds like a mistake anyway but I suppose now we need to find out what happens at the fade out of Promised Land (which I don't have) or other issues.

The longer CD issues probably all mix out this oddity on the fade out which I suppose either makes them a different version or a remix.

If my Gold Standard 45 matches the stock 45 of course.

OK I'm passing the ball.. Who's next?

Todd, my 1974 commercial copy of this has just come in, and it also has the same listed (2:25), actual (2:26) length that was found on Bill's RCA Gold Standard reissue 45.

I wanted to bump this thread back up to the front of the line since the actual 45 run time of "If You Talk in Your Sleep" that Jim reported hasn't yet been updated in the database. Most of the song's CD appearances run :07 too long.

I just noticed the version I have from the first issue of "Gold Records Volume
5" is missing the reverb on Elvis' vocal that the 45 has. Don't know if any other
CDs are missing this reverb, but it is glaringly obvious.
