I'm happy that someone noticed the song play is 4:24 according to Discogs and other sites too. Anyhow, I'm hoping this isn't another case like Rock And A Hard Place "rock version" which apparently doesn't exist.

The running time of this special vinyl version of Mixed Emotions with organ intro (from this Boxset only) is definitly 4.51. Discoqs shows the running time of the normal album version.

Normal album version is listed at 4.24 or 4.37, not sure why though. Error maybe?

Which runtime is printed on the inner sleeve of the 2018 HalfSpeed-Master?

4:37, it means nothing again

Seems the 1989 artwork was re-used then in 2018.

Are we sure Chris Kimsey did the 2020 mix (4.51)?

There was no re-mix in 2018 (nor 2020). It was a half-speed mastering done by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. He got digital flat-transfers of the master-recordings - [www.AbbeyRoad.com] . This special 4:51 version must then have been on the archive hard disk.

That half speed mastered Mixed Emotions from LP from 2018 vinyl box runs 4:52. It is different mix/edit. Easy as that.
Discogs (as any wiki-type) data base is full of bugs and misleading information.

So then we're saying this special mix is from the "box set" not the Abbey Road Half Speed Master? Just to be clear.

It's on both - the 2018 Vinyl-Box and the 2020 separate sold Vinyl-Albums (both are the half-speed masters).

Okay cool, thank you lrix. I will find the record then. To be honest I shyed away from these because I wasn't happy with VL and ABB, the only two I bought. Ended up practically giving them to a friend.
