Make it three votes for the stereo stock "Guitarzan" (although the B-side on my copy - "Bagpipes-That's My Bag" - is mono.)

OK, here's a couple for the class. We know the stereo single version of "Gitarzan" doesn't have the crowd overdub at the beginning, but does it
have the canned laughter interspersed (we do know the LP version does)? (I kinda wish it had been added to the mono single.)
Also, while I'm thinking about it, I'm very surprised no stock copies for the Friends of Distinction's "Grazing In The Grass" were in mono. If
ever a song would pack a punch in a mono mix, that would be one. (I assume some promo copies were mono? And were they folddowns, or dedicated?)

The stereo 45 version of Gitarzan can be
heard

L]. This is one of my posts, using audio
off a stereo promo 45 I was sent once upon
a time (I now have two copies of the
stereo promo 45), coupled with a label
scan from a mono promo 45 I used to own.

Doug, my RCA 0107 promo 45 *only* has the hit on one side of it, and it
is in stereo there, just like it was on all other 45 stock/promo copies of it
I've ever seen.
I do agree that GITG had of the truly great intros in Top 40 hit history.
And while, like you, I'd like to have heard a dedicated mono mix, that
particular song was *so* hook driven, combined with tons of both energy
and overall catchy-ness/commercial sound that, stereo 45 source be
damned, it still came blaring through my AM radio sounding absolutely
dynamite back in the day.

Boy..I just got that and the Doors's "Touch Me" confused due to the words "Touch Me". Seems like, but obviosuly Don't Touch Me isn't some answer record so soon to Touch Me..
