    What are the 12" lengths for these songs?

    I would like to know the 12" lengths (?:??) of the following:

    "On The Beat" by the The Brooklyn, Bronx & Queens Band, "It Seems to Hang On" by Ashford & Simpson, "Hold Tight" by Change, "Boogie Nights" by heatwave, and "Do You Love What You Feel" by Rufus and Chaka Khan. Thank You!

    My 12" of Boogie Nights clocks in at 4:49, at least according to the label.

    i could of swore there were 2 versions of on the beat.
    the 5:50 and change one is the one we all know. but there was a second one that was a little less polished and more "live session" but still pretty good. that might be the one k bee is talking about.

    Thank you

    Thanks everyone! Your help has been great. To the last reply, I have found the 7:02 version of "On The Beat," by BB&Q, on the CD album, 'I love Disco, Vol. 2.' Going to order it right away; ah an absolutly beautiful 12"! Thank you again.

    Groovin',
    about the 7:01 version of on the beat:

    It has a long instrumental intro and they don't start singing the 1st verse until about 2 mins in. There's also plenty of decay and delay effects used, especially on the sax part. The intro also has some percussion underneath the drum beat that i don't recall being in the other versions.

    I wouldn't say that it has that unpolished "live" like feel that somebody talked about though

    hope that helps :)
    There was life after disco!!
