my commercial 45 for the neil sedaka song 'let's go steady
again' issued as rca victor 8169 lists the run time on the
label as 2:26 and is close at 2:25.....question is, do any
of the cd entries contain the proper 45 version?.....the
45 contains hand-claps throughout the chorus, while the cd
version i have from the cd 'very best of' (rca 69393)
doesn't have any hand claps....

does this mean that the stereo version is an LP version? or a CD-era screw-
up?

Was there a parent album for this song?

Pat,
That's the question! From Discogs research, seems the first LP I have come
across that contains the song is a 1976 RCA release "Let's Go Steady Again"
https://www.discogs.com/Neil-Sedaka-Lets-Go-Steady-Again/mas
ter/409158
If it indeed took this long to appear on an LP, no wonder the 45 became "lost".

"Let's Go Steady Again" also appeared on Original Hits, an even earlier (1975) compilation from RCA Special Products:
https://www.discogs.com/Neil-Sedaka-Original-Hits/master/113 9545
I bought a cutout copy for 99¢ in the late '70s of this 1977 RCA compilation, Sedaka: The '50s & '60s:
https://www.discogs.com/Neil-Sedaka-Sedaka-The-50s-60s/relea se/8037854
As the small print in the bottom left corner on the back indicates, the entire LP is rechanneled, albeit very mildly so on "Let's Go Steady Again," which does have the hand claps during the choruses. The LP label states a time of (2:26); actual is (2:24.7).

good catch, Yah Shure.
I am willing to bet that the undubbed, longer version first appeared in the CD
era, when CD compilers began to back to the original tapes. Probably first
appeared on "All Time Greatest Hits" (1988).

Has anyone found this song on CD with the hand clap overdubs on the choruses (to match the 45)? Maybe on a import CD?

Santi, the Bear Family 8 CD box set "Oh Carol" has it with the hand clap overdubs in stereo.

I'm still holding out hope that I might find one of these sets 'in the wild'. The price of import shipping such a big box of discs can
be a little hefty these days, not to mention what some sellers are charging for the box itself.

Thanks for the info on where we can find it with the hand clap overdubs. That eight CD box set was released two decades ago, so not surprised a good used copy sells for a small fortune these days.

I have the 45 version of "Let's Go Steady Again" in mono
from iTunes Canada from The Best of Neil Sedaka,
which has a copyright line of '(p)1996 BMG UK & Ireland
Ltd', although the release date is given as June 20, 2003,
which is the release year Discogs gives for the physical CD.
https://www.discogs.com/release/4552612-Neil-Sedaka-The-
Best-Of-Neil-Sedaka
Of the seven Neil Sedaka compilations on iTunes Canada
containing the song, three have the 45 version, and all
three are from 'BMG UK & Ireland'.

If the stereo version did not appear until a 1988 US
release, that might explain why all 'UK & Ireland' releases
appear to have the mono 45 version.
