So what's the verdict on the mono singles (short and long)? My guess is that it's a stereo fold down, probably with a CSG mono result.
Does anyone believe it's a dedicated mix?

It is a fold down, but not CSG, Equalization adjusted to
the needs of AM radio playback.

I just did a comparison of the 1971 short single, comparing the Mono/Stereo DJ side to the mono stock. As expected, the DJ mono side matches
the stock 45. But that mono release is 0.83% faster than the stereo side of the DJ 45. Both sides have a label time of 2:43 but a run time
of 2:45, with the mono side fading out ever so slightly later in the performance than the stereo side, due to the speed difference.

Bill,
In assembling 1972's top 40 from what I have read in this thread, both the mono 45 and mono radio edit, and stereo 45 and stereo 45 edit were released versions? Based on the list for 1972 that was posted on the board awhile back that lists the stereo and mono, it has it as mono only notation. Should that be changed to stereo and mono?
My understanding was that for 1972 only, both the 45 and the radio edit were stereo only releases, not mono. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance for clarification.

Rich, the stereo long and short versions were issued only on promo
45s. The 1972 list is correct: commercial copies were only issued in
mono.

The mono is not on CD is it? I take it that this is another one of those revisionist "it's in stereo only" tracks, similar to Elton John's Your Song that get released on numerous compilations leading everyone to believe it came out in stereo, not mono?

No mono on CD for "Layla," but as others have pointed
out, the mono is not a dedicated mix; it's a simple
fold-down of the stereo.

In '11, on a Princess Cruise headed back from Alaska,
they had a British rock show that opened with a version
of Layla that stayed till the piano part, then when that
had been on for 45 seconds, faded..making that around
4:45! (didn't pay attention to the intro there..)

There is a 1999 UK CD release with this song on it that
runs 2:46 but all they did was an early fade and missed the
early edit that the original short 45 has. This 2CD set is
Music Of The Millennium (a Universal Music/Virgin/EMI
release).

Can anyone confirm it is a fold-down. Assembling my 1972 jukebox and realized that the only versions out on CD of the 7:10 are in stereo.

I compared the mono 45 to a fold-down of the stereo a few
years ago, and I didn't hear any differences.

"Layla (piano exit)" (3:52) appears on the Goodfellas Soundtrack - which is
basically part 2 of the song, the whole piano piece. Prior to this CD release in
1990, does anyone know if this edit ever existed back in the day? It would have
made a great AC single, being a piano based instrumental (even though it
didn't chart AC back then). I also wonder if Part 1 & Part 2 were ever split into
2 sides of a 45 (maybe even an import), like so many other 7-8 minute songs
have done. Does anyone know of this shorter version existing in any way back
then?
