Many thanks Grant! It'll never be a sonic wonder but considering the source is a Dunhill 45, it's pretty good!
A tip of the hat from the KISN Good Guys!...

A tip, the original Canadian RCA issue of this track does have the real mono 45 version on them.

upthread is identical to the original

stock 45, I'll refer to both of these as the
"Dunhill 45" in the following comparison of the key
differences between them and the MCA reissue 45:
1. The Dunhill 45 is mono; MCA is stereo. Ditto
for the "Born To Be Wild" sides on the reissues:
original Dunhill Goldies 45 is mono; the MCA 45 is
stereo.
2. The intro on the Dunhill 45 is edited and begins
at full volume. On the MCA reissue, it
fades in like it does on the LP version.
3. On the song's first line of the Dunhill 45,
John Kay sings the word "dream" as "dree--eeam"
using two notes, with a higher pitch on the second
half of the word. On both the LP version and the
MCA reissue 45, "dream " is sung with a single
note, without a raise in pitch. |

Also, of course, orig. and tan reissue Dunhill 45,
right after a line that ends "Flies far/goes near",
unlike the original LP version onwards and MCA
reissue 45 (and possibly the just plain "goldies
45"(small letters as such) yellow label), "Goes
far/Flies near". ;)

Our local station has a recreated edit (NOT MIX, though, given the different recordings), which has a (I think fake) colds ending, which MAY be one of the reissues, maybe the 1970s "goldies 45" reissues (mine is the original Oct.1968 hit issue :)).

Steve if your local station is part of iHeartMedia, that
edit with the cold ending is probably mine. Since the final
chorus on both the single and the LP version is actually a
spliced in repeat of the first chorus,(although a different
sing on both, they both do the same thing) I was able to
create that cold ending by using more of that first chorus
at the end of the song. The single actually ends cold if
you crank it up all the way. So I figured what the heck,
I'd end it cold... it's not a real version of the song
anyway. But it's better than that MCA butcher re-issue.
