Pat,
can you tell me the difference between the stereo LP and mono 45 version of this track? There is a difference due to the mix (same for "Gimme Little Sign") and the 45 fades early, but is there anything else different? I also see the 45 version has appeared in stereo of late! thanks.

My commercial 45, confirmed as Double Shot 111, has a listed time of (2:20), but an actual time of (2:24). My 45 is vinyl, with deadwax info of "DS-120".

I have two pressings of this 45. Both are commercial stock copies of Double Shot 111.
The first is styrene, has a listed time of (2:20) but an actual time of (2:31). It also plays in stereo (that was a REAL shock for me -- apparently i've never played this copy before). The deadwax reads DS-120 R-3732 and has a machine stamped symbol that is reminiscent of the Columbia records logo...
My other pressing of the 45 (which I would assume to be the earlier pressing) erroneously lists the artist as BRENTON WOODS, is vinyl, plays in mono...it also has a listed time of (2:20), but an actual time of (2:25). The deadwax on this pressing has: DS-120 DS-111 R-894.

Would Double Shot records be issuing a stereo 45 in 1967? My guess is that the stereo version is a much later reissue with the same catalog number.

My copy fits the description of Jim's except that mine is styrene. Don't think I've ever seen a vinyl single on Double Shot.

I tend to agree with you...however aside from listing the artist name correctly, the label information is identical to my vinyl pressing...right down to the (213) HO 6-9594 phone number. The label was sold in 1972 to Original Sound and I'd assume the pressing is from no later than then, but one never knows....

I believe that the Double Shot label kept their few hit 45s "in print" well
into the 70s and 80s themselves, by simply re-pressing and re-
distributing more 45 copies to retail - they remained a very small, but still
active label during these years. To me, they had a similar business model
(small, but existing for many years) to Gene Norman's GNP Crescendo
label. These re-presses all kept the original Double Shot catalog #s. The
label's biggest hit, "Psychotic Reaction" is the most easy-to-obtain
example of this. I bought what appeared to be a brand new, never-been-
played 45 copy of it, back in the 80s. The shop owner (a friend of mine)
confirmed that he ordered the copy I bought from his local oldies 45
distributor. it had a different label type-face than the original 60s 45, and
was pressed on a very-lightweight styrene that I don't remember 45s
being pressed on during the 60s. Tom, I am 90%+ sure that your stereo
45 copy of "Oogum Boogum Song" is another example of this "later re-
press with original stock #" practice by Double Shot.
