speaking of Maxine Brown, "Funny" timings in the database range from 2:17 to 2:32. Anyone can time the 45 and/or the LP to determine the 45 timing and if the LP ran longer, or if the longer stereo version came later?

David, my commercial 45, confirmed as Nomar 106, has a listed time of (2:18) and an actual time of (2:19). Hope you had a great "David Clark's annual, month-long Thailand trip" this year, my good friend, and that everything else is also going well!

It looks like Maxine Brown's "Funny" didn't emerge on a vinyl LP until 1963, approximately two years after the the song charted as a 45. Does anyone have The Fabulous Sound of Maxine Brown LP who can pass along the song's run time on it? I'm wondering if this may be the longer 2:29-2:32 stereo length that has routinely appeared on CD.

the version on the cd 'greatest hits' issued as curb 77829
sounds like a re-recording.....pat can you compare that cd
version to others and see if it IS a re-recording....the
wind instrument (oboe) on the intro sounds completely
different....thx

Good catch Ed...

i was wondering about the time difference too. The song
ends cold, so a 10 sec time difference would mean a
massive pitch change. Well, i tried synching them.. and
they don't synch. The tempos are too different.

The stereo version that run 2:30-ish are not the hit 45
version, they are a re-recording. It's not just the intro
(flute? oboe?) .. they are different.

Then when you compare little vocal details, like at about
:27 in the mono she sings "really...i think i'm over you"
she says "I" quickly, but in the stereo, she drags it out
like "I-y-eeeee think i'm over you" with a long "I".

After that the little differences add up, all the way to
cold end. The horns in the big finish are completely
different at the end.
I heard the stereo version years ago on LP but just never
a/b'd so i never noticed.
