Thanks Aaron,   I wondered if someone here had scooped
it up as the last post and Discogs sale date in 2015
were very close. I've had that happen too where the
seller lists the wrong item for sale. I ask them to
check the catalog number now before purchasing.     I'll
let you know if I come across it.

Any thoughts on this Canadian reservice 45 "cut at the correct speed"?

Was there really a wrong-speed pressing released?

Discogs is showing two releases:
• one with A-side "3:44"
• one with A-side "3:52" like the one on Reddit

I'm curious to know what happened here.

I'd never heard of a 45 pressing at the wrong speed for "Lay Your Hands On Me", so I checked all the versions I have.

All the versions on commercially available CDs seem to be the proper speed. The UK mix runs about 102.1 BPM. The US mix runs about 102.9 BPM. All the CD versions I have of the song are in this range.

I have the UK 12 inch single version, from an unknown source, running at 101.8 BPM, which is close enough to the UK mix.

And finally, the TM Century library has the US 45 version (track no. 00020597, 3:52, with cold ending) running too fast at 103.5 BPM. I clocked it as being 0.65% faster than the 45 version in my folders (which Aaron dubbed or recreated). It looks like this track was added to the TM Century library after 1999, based on the track number. I don't know what source TM Century used.

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.
