My promo 45 has a "MONO VERSION", with a listed time similar to the stock 45 (3:01), but is actually (3:03); the "STEREO VERSION" has a listed time of (3:19), but is actually (3:21).

I have just acquired a commercial 45 for this. It is mono, and, just like the mono side of my above-described promo 45, it has a listed time of (3:01) and an actual time of (3:03). Its lone currently listed database CD appearance states a time of (3:16).

I am very hopeful that this post will be the last time I EVER have to bring up this song, which was never a favorite of mine. But I have a long had, and just pulled, a U.S.-released CD for this, which contains a stereo, (3:17) version of "Mister Can't You See." The CD is called "Moonshot", and the catalog # is Vanguard 79312. This CD does not currently appear in the database.

Two observations about Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Mister Can't You See" single:

1) The stock mono 45/mono side of the DJ 45 is rather noticeably sped up, compared to the stereo side of the DJ 45. (The later-starting fade on the stereo DJ 45 accounts for most of the timing difference.)

2) The mono 45 is a dedicated mono mix; the most obvious difference being the saxophone after Buffy's final verse, where the stereo mix has the sax panned hard left and in the background (save for one loud, low honk.) In stereo playback, the sax here doesn't stand out like it should, and when this part of the stereo mix is played back in mono, the sax is barely audible.

The sax during this same passage is definitely more upfront on the mono mix, with the one low honk being at the same volume as the rest of the sax notes.
