What is advertised as the mono single version is on the new CD Rare, Rarer & Rarest on Wounded Bird/Columbia. First time on CD I believe. Wow, you should hear the bass in this mix!!
I don't have a vinyl 45 to compare to but it runs 2:42 and is mono. Doesn't sound like a needledrop either.

Thanks for bringing this new Blood, Sweat & Tears CD release to our attention, Indy500. It appears this disc also contains the 45 versions of the band's first four Top 40 singles (in mono when applicable). I look forward to getting my copy and hearing the mono single version of "Spinning Wheel" for the first time!

Todd, this mono mix is a superb sounding 45.

I'll have to go looking for this CD before it's impossible to find.
I do own a copy of Dick Bartley's "On The Radio Vol.2" which has, I believe a stereo 45 version. One neat thing about this particular version is at the very end, you can hear a bit of tape scrub as they
cut off the first round of the whistles and end the recording. I'm not sure if that's part of the mono single version, but I plan to have a listen when I get the disc.

Has anyone ever seen a stereo single on "Spinning Wheel", like on a promo 45? I haven't. It was only a couple of years ago that I picked up the Quadrophonic version of
Blood Sweat and Tears Greatest Hits, which I assumed (incorrectly) had used the Quad mixes from the parent albums. But no, it has a Quadrophic mix of Spinning Wheel
containing the piano intro and guitar solo, but the edit doesn't match either the 45 or LP versions. So I've wondered that in order to get a stereo mix of the the single,
the quad tapes were remixed and edited. Or, there was a stereo mix that always existed but was never released.

To Bill Cahill:
I was amazed when I first heard the
stereo single version of "Spinning
Wheel" for the first time (I think it
was on a Rhino CD, but I'm not
positive).
It sounded so true to the 45, I
decided to check Discogs, and sure
enough there was an alternate 1969
promo release clearly labeled 'stereo'
available!
I have never seen one in real life
though...

Bill, my "Spinning Wheel"/"More And More" Columbia 44871 DJ 45 is stereo, a vinyl Santa Maria pressing on the blue "STEREO" promo label. Both sides are the single versions: "Spinning Wheel" has both the piano intro and the guitar solo, and "More And More" features the same prominent reverb on the opening horns as the mono 45 mix (those same horns on the LP version are dry.)
As for the mono 45 mixes mentioned upthread, the easiest place to find those on CD these days is on Real Gone's 2014 2-CD, The Complete Columbia Singles 1968-76. It contains the band's four mono commercial 45s, "I Can't Quit Her"/"House In The Country", "You've Made Me So Very Happy"/"Blues-Pt. II", "Spinning Wheel"/"More And More" and "And When I Die"/"Sometimes In Winter" in their original mono. BS&T's subsequent commercial singles were all issued in stereo, which is how they're presented on the remaining tracks.
"So Long Dixie" on this set is the 4:27 commercial 45/LP version. The 3:52 mono/stereo DJ 45 version is not included.

I have a stereo copy of Spinning Wheel from a Blood
Sweat and Tears greatest hits. Also contains a stereo
copy of And when I die.
Both are stereo single edits!
If anyone interested Pm me!

--- Shameless self quote ---
On second thought, at $195.00 a copy, only 7 years after first pressing, Maybe I'll just wait for a copy to fall from the sky on "Blood, Sweat And Tears – Rare, Rarer & Rarest." *Sigh*
