FYI: the hit 45 version with the double tracked vocals
finally has been released on CD (and in stereo) on Hard To
Find Jukebox Classics 1963: Rock, Rhythm & Pop (on the Hit
Parade label).

Santi, thanks for making these last 3 posts. Like you said, this song, Mr.
Bass Man and Ahab The Arab have all made their stereo 45v debuts on
this great new CD. It is extremely rare that any stereo hit 45 versions had
remained "sitting in the label vaults" for all these years. Since, in 99% of
cases, stereo versions were the first ones grabbed for, way back when, to
ever appear on CD. But leave it to our own Mark Mathews & Co., to both
know these stragglers existed, and to make these tracks available to us
now!
And I also want to highlight one other track from this very same CD. Rufus
Thomas' "Walking The Dog". Now I don't know DCS stereo, from DES
stereo, from normal stereo. But the stereo version of it on this new CD
100% sounds to me like it was recorded in true stereo back in 1963. And
my understanding is that this was not the case. How guys like Mark can
create new stereo files, that sound so perfect, starting from mono, is
beyond belief. To me, this entire CD, start to finish, is an especially strong
mix of 1963 selections. Back then, songs peaking outside the BB Top 40
still got major airplay in many markets, and Hit Parade included 4 or 5
such hard-to-find, CT airplay-garnering mono tracks, that all sound
perfect, and that I'm thrilled to now own on CD.
