Thanks to Jim, I have just entered the information on the contents of the Complete Motown Singles Collection 1971A and as usual it brings up numerous questions about what is really included. Here are 5 questions that I wrote down when entering the data that perhaps someone can answer since I do not have this cd box:
1) Stevie Wonder "We Can Work It Out" - since the 45 running time is 2:53, which is :21 shorter than the stereo versions, is this a 45 version or 45 length?
2) Supremes "Nathan Jones" - is the stereo 45 dj 45 running 3:00 the LP version?
3) Gladys Knight & The Pips "I Don't Want To Do Wrong" - Jim lists the stereo dj 45 as running (3:29) but the database states that the stereo dj 45 runs (3:18) so what's up with this (a typo)?
4) Diana Ross "Reach Out I'll Be There" - Jim reports on disc 4 the mono dj 45 runs (4:01) on this cd but the database states that the dj 45's run either (3:17), (4:07) or (5:03)
5) Rare Earth "I Just Want to Celebrate" - Jim reports the mono 45 on this cd runs (2:51) but does it include the extra bongo beat found at 2:53 like other cd's? If that is the situation, then this is not the true 45 version on this cd.

Pat, I have now sent you out mp3's of the 8 total songs that you had questions about for the 11 existing volumes in this series so far, for your expert analysis.

It's definitely a different mix than what's on the mono side...a bit of a rarity on promo singles. I'm not where I can compare the two right now, but there's a more pronounced phasing effect on the stereo side of the promo single that's not on the mono version. I believe there are handclaps that are also mixed higher on the stereo version.
I'm not familiar with the album version.

Here are answers to three of my questions--
Stevie Wonder "We Can Work It Out" there is a big difference in the mix between the 45 and LP but as far as I can tell there is no extra instrumentation.
Supremes "Nathan Jones" - the stereo dj 45 is the same as the LP version.
Rare Earth "I Just Want To Celebrate" is the true 45 version.
Still unresolved issues--
Diana Ross "Reach Out I'll Be There" - my red vinyl dj copy runs (3:17). Jim could you check to see if you have a black vinyl mono copy that runs (4:01)? I wonder why they didn't include the red vinyl version on this box set.
Gladys Knight & The Pips "I Don't Want to Do Wrong" - I do not have a dj copy of this 45 so I must have taken the data base running time of (3:18) from a reader comment. But this could be a typo on my part so again Jim do you have a dj copy of this 45 that you could time to see what you come up with?

That's great! The CD debut of a true 45 version is always great news.

I have the DJ 45:
Stereo side listed (3:20), runs (3:18)
Mono side listed (3:15), runs (3:22)
The mono fade starts later, and lasts one second longer than the stereo side's fade. The other :03 difference is in the speeds. The mono side runs slower than the stereo side.
There is one notable mix difference, too. From 1:50 to 1:56 on the stereo side, Gladys sings, "No, I don't wanna... no, I didn't wanna do it." The comparable part on the mono side (from 1:52 to 1:58) does not include those words.

On Stevie Wonder's "We Can Work It Out" there is tape echo on Stevie's vocal on the single mix. On the LP version, there is no tape echo. Just regular reverb.

To Bill Cahill:
Also on the stereo LP version of "We Can Work It Out" the 'response' vocals are 180 degrees out-of-phase rendering them silent when folded to mono or broadcasting in mono (or listening to FM in a fringe area).

Does anyone know if the DJ 45 of "Feelin' Alright" by Diana Ross &
Jackson 5 is in mono or stereo? This CD set has the song in stereo,
which seems odd for a 1971 promo 45.

Brian pointed me in the direction of a YouTube dub, which did not come up for me prior to posting my question. It appears the song was, indeed, in stereo on the Motown promo 45.
