Jim reports his commercial 45 copy of Andrea True Connection's "More, More, More (Pt. 1)" has an actual and printed run time of 3:02. I'm passing this along because the song's database CD entries containing a "45 version" comment range from 2:57-3:10.

Colmek 0203-45 Min GuideHowever, the model is not without its challenges. The rigidity implied by "0203-45 Min" could, for some, transform leisure into another performance metric. The spontaneous joy of losing oneself in a movie for two hours or the organic flow state of an un-timed hike could be lost. Thus, the true wisdom of this code lies not in literal adherence, but in its underlying principle: the strategic segmentation of time to honor both duty and delight. It serves as a corrective to the extremes of workaholism and hedonistic procrastination. The "0203" ratio further refines this balance. In a traditional 8-hour workday, the ratio of work to personal time is often skewed, leading to chronic stress. The 2:3 ratio (e.g., 2 hours of disciplined lifestyle tasks followed by 3 hours of flexible entertainment or rest) mirrors the natural ebb and flow of energy. For instance, a professional might spend their first 45-minute block of the "2 hours" on a high-focus work project, and the next three 45-minute blocks (totaling 2 hours and 15 minutes) on collaborative tasks or learning a new skill for lifestyle enhancement. The subsequent 3 hours could then be broken into four 45-minute entertainment segments: one for a podcast during a commute, one for a hobby like painting, one for socializing with friends (a form of interactive entertainment), and one for winding down with a film. This structure ensures that entertainment is not an afterthought but an integrated component of a well-lived day. Colmek 0203-45 Min The cornerstone of this philosophy is the recognition that human attention operates in ultradian rhythms. Research suggests that the brain naturally functions in cycles of high alertness lasting approximately 90 minutes. However, in an age of digital fragmentation, sustaining focus for even 45 minutes has become a challenge. The "0203-45 Min" model capitalizes on this by designating the 45-minute segment as a unit of pure, undistracted activity—whether for lifestyle maintenance (exercise, meal prep, meditation) or entertainment (streaming an episode, playing a video game, reading). By limiting these blocks to 45 minutes, the model prevents burnout and decision fatigue. It allows an individual to engage in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for 45 minutes, knowing that the subsequent 2-hour block is reserved for rest or low-stakes leisure. Conversely, it permits a guilt-free 45-minute binge of a series, followed by 2 hours of productive work, effectively using entertainment as a reward rather than a time-sink. However, the model is not without its challenges The 0203-45 Min Blueprint: Optimizing Lifestyle and Entertainment in a Hyper-Paced World Thus, the true wisdom of this code lies |

Couldn't find any decent videos on YouTube of the 45
playing, but I think all of the 3:00 versions of the song in the database actually run 1% faster than the 45. Can anyone verify? Calling Mark Matthews. |

Agree with crapfromthepast that Rhino's Disco Years,
Volume 1 is the best digital source for this classic. This CD sounds like it is sourced from lower generation tape sources than the other options, and tastefully mastered. |
