The mono is a fold down. The Stereo mix was on the
commercial stock 45. There might have been a promo mono
side stamper which got used for a pressing run of stock 45
singles. ]]> Thu, 17 Oct 2013 08:01:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1274&PID=39396&title=carpenters-yesterday-once-more#39396 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1274&PID=39284&title=carpenters-yesterday-once-more#39284 Author: Todd Ireland

Does the mono 45 pressing sound like a dedicated mix or a fold-down
of the stereo 45? Since most singles were being issued in stereo by
1973, I'm thinking this is probably a fold-down.]]> Tue, 01 Oct 2013 08:29:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1274&PID=39284&title=carpenters-yesterday-once-more#39284 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1274&PID=39280&title=carpenters-yesterday-once-more#39280 Author: Brian W.

Well, it does SAY stereo on the label. It was probably inadvertant. If I recall correctly, their "Merry Christmas Darling" commercial single used the CSG stereo process that we discussed briefly in the "Calling Occupants" thread.]]> Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:52:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1274&PID=39280&title=carpenters-yesterday-once-more#39280 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1274&PID=39277&title=carpenters-yesterday-once-more#39277 Author: Todd Ireland

Ah, I see. That explains why the stereo B-side, "Road Ode," is A&M 2494S-M4.

Thanks. It's great to have such knowledgable people on this board.]]> Fri, 27 Sep 2013 18:02:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1274&PID=39245&title=carpenters-yesterday-once-more#39245 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1274&PID=39243&title=carpenters-yesterday-once-more#39243 Author: Yah Shure

Hey... do the "M" and the "S" in the deadwax on these mean "Mono" and "Stereo"?
