It doesn't surprise me that it's a reissue 45 since the catalog number wasn't listed in my Goldmine Guide at all.]]> Sat, 17 Aug 2013 16:21:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=810&PID=38861&title=freddies-dead#38861 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=810&PID=38856&title=freddies-dead#38856 Author: Hykker

I have that one too...as I recall it's 2-track stereo
with most of the instrumentation on one side and vocals
on the other.

Discogs has a listing for a "Superfly/Freddie's Dead" 45 (Curtom 88-003) that has a runtime of 3:43 for "Freddie's Dead". Anyone know anything about this 45 release? If it's really from 1972 then that means the 'neither' version is actually a longer 45 version.]]> Sat, 17 Aug 2013 00:33:25 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=810&PID=38849&title=freddies-dead#38849 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=810&PID=20158&title=freddies-dead#20158 Author: eriejwg

Andy:

I thought I read on the Steve Hoffman forum it was a different mix. I could be wrong, though. I'll let you listen for yourself...]]> Mon, 22 Dec 2008 22:38:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=810&PID=20158&title=freddies-dead#20158 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=810&PID=20156&title=freddies-dead#20156 Author: AndrewChouffi

Is the stereo promo 45 a different MIX than the album mix? (I know it's an out-of-sequence edit.)

Reviving an old one, just got in a stereo/mono promo 45 for this. Listed and actual time is 3:15, as Gary Mack mentioned. Deadwax is CRS 1975 A.

Thanks for the heads up, everyone, on where I could find the stereo 45 mix of this song.]]> Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:18:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=810&PID=20152&title=freddies-dead#20152 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=810&PID=4248&title=freddies-dead#4248 Author: eric_a

Not to toot my own horn, but my version came out pretty seamless. I can send the mp3 if you want. Send me a private message here and i'll email it- EA

I have the stereo/mono promo 45 and the stereo mix runs exactly 3:15. It was mastered at Bell Sound, which means the single mix tape may be in the dumpster. Sorry, Jimct, keep looking - other copies must be out there somewhere.

As usual, what probably happened in 1972 is that there were more than one 45 master. One was sent to one pressing plant, another master to another plant. Or, one was supposed to be a promo issue.]]> Fri, 07 Apr 2006 08:48:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=810&PID=4225&title=freddies-dead#4225
