My promo is white label, similar to the green label WB
singles, but even after the stock labels switched to the
"Burbank" label, promos stayed white until late '74 or so,
at which time they had the same label as commercial
copies, only labeled as being promotional.

It's the single version mono/stereo. ]]> Tue, 19 Nov 2013 17:26:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2101&PID=39737&title=seals-croftsdiamond-girl#39737 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2101&PID=39735&title=seals-croftsdiamond-girl#39735 Author: Brian W.

The piano intro at the beginning is cut approximately in half and it fades early. It's not a different mix.

I searched through multiple threads and still didn't find the answer about the "45 version" designation. What differentiates this from just an edit from the LP version?]]> Tue, 19 Nov 2013 13:19:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2101&PID=39732&title=seals-croftsdiamond-girl#39732 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2101&PID=10999&title=seals-croftsdiamond-girl#10999 Author: Citizen

I've seen it on both the green WB and the "palm tree" labels. Some pressing plants probably had leftover green labels that they wanted to use up.]]> Fri, 03 Aug 2007 10:14:08 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2101&PID=10999&title=seals-croftsdiamond-girl#10999 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2101&PID=10793&title=seals-croftsdiamond-girl#10793 Author: TomDiehl1

At the start of the 45, there are 7 of the same exact piano notes. Then the "Diamond Girl" vocal starts. On all of the CD versions, there is a much longer musical intro, featuring more piano and guitar strums, before the opening vocals. There may be other edits; I haven't researched it any further than that. My 1973 commercial 45 label has the trees and the "Burbank" mention on it, but WB changed away from the dark green label right around this time. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if other commercial 45s for it had that background.]]> Sat, 14 Jul 2007 18:50:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2101&PID=10791&title=seals-croftsdiamond-girl#10791 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2101&PID=10790&title=seals-croftsdiamond-girl#10790 Author: SoCalDrew

Questions: is it just an edit or a different mix too? Also, was that on the dark green WB label?

My commercial 45, which is stereo, has a listed time of (3:29), but an actual time of (3:34).]]> Wed, 23 May 2007 03:16:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2101&PID=9950&title=seals-croftsdiamond-girl#9950
