Anyone have the original 45? The database says lists all stereo versions as ending cold, and the one "E" version on "Souvenirs" as having a faded ending. Anyone know if the single ended cold or faded?

The 45 fades out.

I don't have a mono 45 copy of "Travelin' Man", so can someone tell me if the 45 is the exact same recording/take as the stereo mix?

The 45 ends cold, really, but it fades as well...the song starts to fade and it nearly totally fades out but you can still hear the cold ending before it's gone. It's the same take as the regular stereo mix that's been around for years.

so, vanmeter, if the 45 fades at the very end, would it not run the same length as the version we all know that ends cold (2:20)? Is your 45 an original? Whitburn indicates a run time of 2:12. Did the original LP (Rick is 21) fade as well? Did the cold ending first appear on CD? I know, lotsa questions, but all related! thanks.

In helping my buddy, Brian W., with an original 45 dub of this for his analysis, I noticed that this song has a listed time of (2:12), but an actual time of (2:20). And, as Vanmeter correctly describes above, it IS a fade, but EVERY bit of the cold ending, including the last note, can be CLEARLY heard on the 45. I don't know how any time of less than (2:20) can be the correct 45 version, unless a 2nd commercial 45 was released for it back in 1961.

Just noticed that the "E" version of this on Heartland "Legendary Ricky Nelson," listed in the database, is a different take from the single version.
He sings it much more softly than on the 45 version. He almost belts it out in comparison on the 45. Note especially how the syllable "town" on "down in Burlingtown" is drawn out on the hit version, but is shorter and softer on the "E" version.
So unless there was more than one pressing of the 45, the one on "Legendary Ricky Nelson" should be classified as "alternate take" or some such.
