A couple of things for this one: My commercial 45, which is stereo, has a listed time of (3:05), but an actual time of (3:02). I happen to have 4 commercial copies for this. Two of them are defective, and, despite what the label states, it is a different song, by a different artist entirely. It is a soul song, by an artist whose voice I do not recognize, with deadwax of "ZSP 156147 - 1D." This does not match up at ALL with the label's "ZS #", which states "ZSS 154935." A quick "eyeball" tip, to perhaps avoid trouble - my bogus copies show the entire title, "Mother And Child Reunion" on ONE line, in a thinner, less bold font than Columbia normally uses. My two CORRECT 45 copies, which uses the more common Columbia bold print, "thicker" font, has "Mother And" on line one, then "Child Reunion" on line two, with deadwax of "ZSS 154935-1J." So, if you happen to have an original 45, check to see if it's actually the right song, and if you're planning to pick this 45 up, buyer beware!
