Oh, man, I wish the mono mix were available separately. I hate to spend $100 or so on the big box when all I'm really after is the mono mix. (I've already got the DCC version of "Ram," which sounds fabulous, so I don't really care about the stereo remaster.)]]> Tue, 08 May 2012 12:22:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2676&PID=34099&title=paul-mccartney-uncle-albert#34099 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2676&PID=34098&title=paul-mccartney-uncle-albert#34098 Author: Bill Cahill

Bill, does it match the length as well? I have a mono version that runs about (4:51) (after taking off a little dead space at the end)--my stereo version from All The Best runs about (4:41).]]> Thu, 07 Jul 2011 19:38:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2676&PID=30808&title=paul-mccartney-uncle-albert#30808 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2676&PID=30800&title=paul-mccartney-uncle-albert#30800 Author: Brian W.

While I don't have the radio only mono DJ LP, my understanding is that the mono LP matches the DJ 45. So there either needs to be a notation in the database that "mono DJ mix differs slightly from the stereo version" or "Stereo 45 and LP mix" should appear next to all entries. The missing high hat is reported in the book "8 Arms To Hold You".

Rumor has it that "Ram" will be in the next round of McCartney remasters and will include the DJ-only MONO mix of the album!]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2011 13:25:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2676&PID=30800&title=paul-mccartney-uncle-albert#30800 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2676&PID=16686&title=paul-mccartney-uncle-albert#16686 Author: TimNeely

Some jukebox operators did get their hands on it - those who had jukeboxes that played Compact 33 1/3 EPs. Atlantic issued a jukebox EP from Led Zeppelin's fourth album (through the "Little LP" company) that was an absolute killer. One side had "Black Dog" and "Rock and Roll" on it; the other side had "Stairway to Heaven." Considering that most jukebox EPs not from "greatest hits" albums tended to feature deep album cuts, that was quite a coup.

Here, both KDWB and WDGY aired the David & Jonathan "Michelle." At the same time, they were also playing both sides of the "We Can Work It Out"/"Day Tripper" single, so the Fab Four was still well-represented on the radio.

A few label scans mentioned earlier in the thread:

Elton's "Pinball Wizard" promo-only 45. Polydor had the soundtrack LP rights only (like United Artists with the earlier Beatles soundtracks.)



This is the second issue of the "Stairway To Heaven" 'promotional EP' (with that exact wording, Atlantic may have been able to get around any no single, promotional or otherwise edict, although the company had occasionally issued promo EPs before and after this one.) Both sides are the same: stereo/7:55/blue label.



Bill is right, the first part of "Stairway" is too quiet to battle the inevitable surface noise of a very long 45. Even so, it isn't as bad as the 1992 American Pie 45 issue of the full LP version of "American Pie." I bought this copy for my jukebox, but it's only about half as loud as every other record on the Seeburg. The bass is cut, too. In a crowded restaurant or bar, you'd never be able to hear it. And "Stairway To Heaven" would have suffered the same fate, had it been issued commercially (although jukebox operators would no doubt have loved to have gotten their hands on it.)

Hykker, I think that just about all U.S. Top 40's liberally played many/most of the tracks from both "Rubber Soul", "Sgt. Pepper" and the "White Album" as LP cuts, without charting them, so I will cede you that point. However, my WAVZ/New Haven Top 60 survey, for the week of 1/30-2/5/66, has David & Jonathan's "Michelle" moving from #12 to #8. I'm missing the next two weeks' WAVZ lists, but it was still at #11, 3 weeks later, for the week of 2/20-2/26/66. At WDRC/Hartford, David & Jonathan peaked at #19 on their Top 60 list, for the week of 2/7/66. It also got to #18 nationally, in Billboard. Hykker, I believe you when you say you never heard the David & Jonathan version where you were, but your 1966 listening experience was certainly not the same as mine was, here in CT.]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 15:01:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2676&PID=16636&title=paul-mccartney-uncle-albert#16636 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2676&PID=16634&title=paul-mccartney-uncle-albert#16634 Author: Hykker

Bill Cahill wrote: Yeah the other obvious missing hit from the charts was "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin who refused to release it as a single. Radio did get a white label promo single, but every copy I heard was basically unplayable because to get a song listed at 7:55 on a 45 had to be pressed REALLY low. The surface noise and crackle was awful. Led Zeppelin refused any edit on that song. Although TM Century's "stereo rock" made one.

That was not a song that really lent itself to editing, it didn't have your typical verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus structure. The few attempts I've heard at editing it were pretty jarring.]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 08:25:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2676&PID=16634&title=paul-mccartney-uncle-albert#16634 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2676&PID=16633&title=paul-mccartney-uncle-albert#16633 Author: Hykker
