I have the song "Ivy Rose" on the Bear Family single cd "Juke Box Baby" and it sounds like a re-recording on there. The key for me was hearing the verse, "I'll be yours..." 19 seconds into the 45, as Perry Como comes in AFTER the background singers' "Ooo". On the cd (it's at the 25 second mark due to an 8 second intro) there is no "Ooo", at least not until Perry starts to sing. I'm sure there are other differences, but that's the first and most obvious one to me (besides the intro).

Incidentally, my 45 times out to just over 3:05, although the label states a run time of 3:04.

The Australian 2-CD set The Ultimate Collection (1999 BMG Australia
Ltd. 74321602192) unfortunately has the non-45 version as well.

I'm afraid the only Como 45s I have in good enough shape to judge are "Juke
Box Baby" and "More"/"Glendora", and the versions on the CD seem to
match, although "More" seems to have a touch more echo on the CD. It
wouldn't surprise me that some of the songs are fold-downs; it's just
difficult to judge (other than "Ivy Rose") what they did down under. Are you
aware of any other Como CDs (import or domestic) where they do this?

thanks for your input, paul........this is the only cd
compilation i have of his......when i compare the vinyl
45's to a few of his other songs i have on cdr dub, from
the rca greatest hits cd for example, they sound identical
to the vinyl 45's.....this australian comp, has them out of
balance.....like they're not perfectly centered compared to
the vinyl 45's.....tough to explain......
