I just picked up the DJ 45 on "Get Down" and both sides of the promo 45 are a definitely a different mix than the LP mix. Most significant is how loudly the cymbals are boosted on both the stereo and mono sides of the 45. It gives the song a different feel than the original LP mix. On the LP mix you get a wider stereo mix (as noted above) and the handclaps are louder, but you can barely hear the cymbals.

I wouldn't call it a different version on the 45 but it's a single mix. Since it was the second single from the album they probably gave it a fresh remix before putting it out.

Both CDs that I own, the "Have A Nice Day" and "Best of" feature the SINGLE remix, matching the stereo DJ 45. I believe the mono side is simply a fold down.

Don't give a Damn is on the 45, but with thick English accent. Never had any issues airing it. And in mono. ]]> Thu, 09 Jun 2011 20:27:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2439&PID=30482&title=get-down-gilbert-osullivan#30482 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2439&PID=30480&title=get-down-gilbert-osullivan#30480 Author: MMathews

I used to own the LP myself, and never noticed any significant mix difference between that and the versions on CD (Rhino, or Best Of) altho often in the CD era when digital mastering some engineers will slightly narrow a very wide mix.
The stock 45 of this was mono, so as for LP version vs. 45 version the only difference I'm aware of is the stereo/mono.
And, I did own a 45 many years ago, but dumped it once i got the LP. Seemed to me the 45 was basically same except in mono.

bumping this up...

we never addressed EdisonLite's final question. I don't have LP handy, but
recalling my 2007 post, on the LP and the CD I own the mix is different.]]> Thu, 09 Jun 2011 00:50:03 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2439&PID=30479&title=get-down-gilbert-osullivan#30479 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2439&PID=25457&title=get-down-gilbert-osullivan#25457 Author: EdisonLite

Do the 3 CDs in the database contain the single mix/separation or the album mix/separation? And do people feel the stereo separation of the instrumental tracks is different enought (between the two) to warrant a "single version" and "album version"?]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:33:47 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2439&PID=25457&title=get-down-gilbert-osullivan#25457 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2439&PID=25456&title=get-down-gilbert-osullivan#25456 Author: 4TrackJack

I would slightly attribute this perception to the fact that he was born in Ireland and is perhaps intentionally invoking a "Celtic" pronunciation.]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 09:11:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2439&PID=25456&title=get-down-gilbert-osullivan#25456 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2439&PID=11371&title=get-down-gilbert-osullivan#11371 Author: eriejwg

I just picked this 45 up on Saturday at a flea market, without realizing it was being discussed here. I bought it because I liked the few Gilbert O'Sullivan 45s I own....and yes the word "damn" is very slurred, to the point that if I hadn't been reading the lyrics online at the same time, it might not have sounded like that word to me. The 45 is mono...
