My commercial 45, and both the mono/stereo sides of my promo 45, state a listed time of (3:13), but all have an actual time of (3:24). This song first appeared on my local station's survey in May '71, and it peaked at #2, for 2 weeks, in July of 1971. Then, when I heard Casey Kasem play it on AT40, SEVEN months later, in Feb. 72, I thought he was featuring a "retro" countdown that weekend!

Listening to this track for the first time in a long time from the Rhino Super Hits Of The Seventies CD, I can hear some vinyl noise at the very end.

I thought it sounded familiar when it finally became a hit in early '72. This was the first Scepter single I ever saw (at least on a promo) to use the paisley label that had previously been only used on Dionne Warwick singles. Any idea why her singles used the paisley label, all other artists used the red label with black & white ovals. Something contractual perhaps that she got a "custom" label? By 1972 Dionne had added an "e" to her last name & signed with Warner Brothers...maybe that's why they started using the new label for Beverly (as well as BJ Thomas, who also charted around the same time).

A friend asked if Beverly's other top 40 hit "We're Free" which peaked at #40 in Billboard is available on any CDs. Since this isn't in Pat's database, can anyone provide a list of CDs that contain this top 40 hit? I'd like to help my friend out, and I know someone here is bound to have the answer! Thanks.

Gordon, the only U.S. CD that I know "We're Free" to be on is "The Very Best Of Beverly Bremers: Don't Say You Don't Remember", issued in 1997 on Collectables, stock # COL-CD-5907. FYI, although my area's DJ's pronounced her name as it appears to sound back in mid-1971, when it finally made AT40 in early '72, I heard Casey pronounce her last name as "BREE-mers."

I always heard it pronounced BREE mers pretty much everywhere during the song's chart run.

I found a promo copy of that one on the old Scepter label. It must have been from the original promo mailings in the spring of '71.
The copy that I bought that fall of course was the newer Scepter label. Both "We're Free" and the follow up "I'll Make You Music" played in Johnstown.

Regarding "Don't Say You Don't Remember", is there a CD
that doesn't have what sounds like vinyl artifacts or tape
noise on the closing fade? I found a collection on iTunes
called Super Hits 1971 and it has a noise on the
fade too, much like the Rhino Super Hits Of The 70's CD I
have it on.

The Eric CD "Hard to Find 45's on CDs 13 The Love Album" sounds like a tape source to me.
