   The version I have on the early 90's cd is 2:10 long & the music fades out by   
   2:07 with 3 seconds of silence at the end of the track.  Don't really hear   
   anything unusual about the fade out.  I just believe it is your typical mid -   
   '60's fade out on a    
   rock 'n' roll record.  Perhaps engineers weren't as much into the "aesthetics"   
   of the music as they were later.  Plus, if you wanted your record to be played   
   on the radio back then it was best if your tune was 2:20 long, the perfect   
   length according to    
   radio programmers at the time.  ITBOMM beat that time by 10 seconds.
