"This Time" is indicated "commercial copies were all (4:18)" on the db. However my stock 45's actual running time is (3:57) as the listed time is "4:18"

"Jack And Diane" This actual 45 running time is surely "4:16". I am distinctly audible until 4:14, and I am hard to listen to the 4:15 mark. However I could clearly listen to "the clapping sound" at "4:16".

I provide the info of his 45s reached Top 40 on the 80's decade only. Please, Post the 70s & 90s info etc.too.

Thinking the time discrepency for "This Time" is too large, I timed my promo copy which states a running time of (4:18) and it actually runs (4:16). The flip side of my dj copy states (3:56) and runs (3:56). Anyone else have a commercial copy of this 45 that can confirm the running time?

It's an edit.

Pat, like you, all I currently own for it is a promo 45, but I'm goin' "45 shopping" all this weekend; I'll keep an eye out for a stock copy, and report back if I'm successful in tracking one down.

my notes show that my 45 issued as riva 205 lists a run time of 4:18 but actually is a fade and runs 3:58.....which would line up approximately with abagon's...aaron..i will send you an mp3 of the 45 to see who's right...is it and edit or fade.....
