Just FYI, apparently stock copies were
made in both mono
and stereo. I have 2 copies of the original grey-label
Bell 45318 in the red sleeves.
The mono copy deadwax # is 1592 - 2
The stereo copy deadwax# is 1592S - 1
On both copies the B-side is in mono.

Interesting, Mark! Do the stereo and mono versions have
the same running time?

Is the stereo a fold down or is this a dedicated mono
mix?

I should say ... can you fold down the stereo version or
is this a dedicated mono mix?

Oh, I forgot to get the times last night - will check that when I get home.
erie, to answer your Q the stereo 45 has the same stereo mix as Lp's and CD's. The mono 45 is a dedicated mix that has a louder keyboard (organ?). When you fold the stereo to mono the keyboard is way too low and the guitar is too loud.
Even though I found a stereo pressing, I think it's safe to say the mono is far more common.
I noticed that a few Cd's in the DB have it in mono, but 3 are Original Sound Cd's that are tainted with that horrid Waring FDS ("Full of Distorted Sounds") .. and the other is mastered from vinyl.
I'll take the vinyl any day over FDS.

I have a mint 45 dub in my library. Looks like that's
exactly what I need.

Time report:
The actual time on my stereo pressing is (3:28). Interesting because I noticed that is longer than any CD in the DB.
The actual time on the stereo pressing is (3:17).
I'll add that the stereo copy is at a noticeably slower speed than the mono one.

Did you mean the mono pressing is 3:17? You said
"stereo" for both run times.

Yup, sorry 'bout that, I meant the mono one is (3:17).

So is this enough to qualify a version designation?

The only appearance on CD in the database for mono is oldies but goodies but that runs to 3:17.
Is that the correct 45 version? No designation is given by Pat to clarify.

I saw a Readers Digest version in the database:
(M)(3:17)Reader's Digest RBD-243 20 Years Of No. 1 Hits 1956-1975 (Box Set)
But, it also says it was mastered from vinyl.
