The database specifies "U.K. mono mix" on the album "Crazy World of Arthur Brown." What is the difference between the British and U.S. mixes? I would assume the U.S. single was mono.

Brian,
The U.K. mono mix is drier, has less instrumentation (no horns), has some noise over the intro and ends different (with an electronic sound and a gong!). Would you like an MP3 to take a listen to it?

I assume your Atlantic promo 45 is stereo/mono, but is the stereo side speeded up as the mono side was for the US 45?

No, it's stereo A & B sides. "Rest Cure" on the B side. As far as being sped up, I don't know. This is the only copy of the song I have.

I don't know about the UK or other releases, but in the US, Atlantic speeded up the album version for the 45. I assume your promo 45 has both mono and stereo versions speeded up, but does anyone know?

Awesome, thank you! The reason I thought it was mono was because it seems like most stereo 45s back in the late '60s specified "stereo" on the label.

My US MP3 from "Ultimate 60s Colleciton" is 2:54 and sound stereo, with lots of instrumentation, while what I downloaded from Soulseek from someone, the UK single DOES sound mono and is 2:45..less instrumentation, so I go with davidclark's answer..:)

Oddbjørn sent me a dub of the UK 45, and it sounds just like the US 45. Both are mono. Both sound like a fold-down of the common stereo version, but I can't confirm.
The mono version from the 1991 Polydor CD is indeed missing some instrumentation, compared to the stereo mix. (Listen for the absence of horns around 1:05.) Unless this mono mix was on a mono LP in the US or UK, it's likely a "previously unreleased mono mix" or something to that effect.

I folded "Fire" from The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown
album from Qobuz and added a little more compression. But,
the mix has the trumpets at 1:05.
