another question for the master...
Pat, I notice the LP version distinction for all occurences of this except for the new box set " God Bless Tiny Tim" where a 1:47 45 version is indicated.
What's the difference between the two?

The LP version has a longer instrumental introduction.

So if I were to edit the LP version introduction, would I essentially end up with a stereo 45 version? Or are there additional unique mix differences between the 45 and LP?

I was 9 years old in 1968 when this song was released. To this day, I've never been able to understand the novelty.
Had it not been for Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, would the song has been as popular?

John, I don't think "Tip-Toe" would have even been recorded if it weren't for Laugh-In. 1968 was one of the most turbulent years in U.S. history, and Tiny Tim provided a welcome break from the norm. The timing was right, the country's mood was right, and it all came together at that moment. Here you had this freakish-looking character singing in falsetto, playing an ancient tune on a ukulele, on a TV show with a huge audience where the offbeat was expected. With Tiny Tim's first performance of the tune on Laugh-In, "Tip-Toe" was an immediate audience hit before the record was even out.
