Absolutely amazing, Aaron. (but not surprising at all with
your skills and the master research you and Real Gone have
done) I cannot WAIT to get this set!! ]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2015 15:45:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1390&PID=44734&title=john-phillips-mississippi#44734 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1390&PID=44724&title=john-phillips-mississippi#44724 Author: Santi Paradoa

For those who like to compare, here's a snippet of the 45 version from the 2006 Wolfking reissue:

Mississippi from 2006 reissue CD

Not so fast. There are two Kansas Cities, one in Kansas, the other in Missouri. The Missouri River flows between them as it comes in from the northwest, where it forms the boundary between the two states. But just beyond where the Kansas River flows into the Missouri (in KCKS) the boundary hops over the bank and heads due south, with State Line Road separating the KC twins.

Or, in vintage AM top-40 lingo:

Kansas City = Missouri River = WHB

St. Louis = Mississippi River = KXOK

Both Storz stations, incidentally. Which, during the years I made those drives, was headquartered along which of those two rivers?

A: The Missouri at Omaha, Nebraska. Speaking of which: look up Carter Lake, Iowa on the map. If you make the short drive from downtown Omaha to the airport (which is also located in Omaha) you have to drive through Iowa to get there, without crossing a river. Rivers'll do that when they have their way. Makes the dueling KCs look sensible by comparison. ;)

"Joseph"?? I guess that does make more sense, at least on the 45. But on the LP version, Joe is plunking the first note even as John says his name. Why didn't the refs call a delay of Joseph penalty?

Thanks for the correction, Andy. I have a feeling that my brain cells won't quickly embrace the change after having misheard it since 1970.

Side note: During the years I lived in Oklahoma in the early '80s, on the drive to and from Minnesota, I'd often tune in Kansas City's "61 Country" WDAF-AM, which, thanks to the excellent midwest ground conductivity, had a phenomenal daytime reach for only 5000 watts. Without fail, on every one of those trips, I'd hear them play the 45 version of "Mississippi." Alhough the single did chart country, its number 58 peak wasn't indicative of the record's long-lasting appeal in Kansas City, more than a dozen years later. All the more remarkable, considering it's the Missouri that flows through KC, not the other "M" river.

To YahShure:

Everything you said in your post was true, with the exception of the stand-alone word. What John Phillips is saying is "Joseph". He is calling out his recording session bass player Joe Osborn to play his bass solo.

Of course as a charter member of L.A.'s "Wrecking Crew" Mr. Osborn has played on thousands of songs & hundreds of Top-40 hits.

It can't be replicated from the LP version, Ed. There are noticeable vocal take differences during the choruses, plus completely different lyrics from 2:29 to 2:38. But the most obvious tip-off as the song plays along is the placement of the stand-alone word "just" at about 1:49, just ahead of the instrumental break. That word comes in one-and-a-half seconds later on the LP version than it does on the 45.]]> Tue, 14 Jan 2014 12:40:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1390&PID=40256&title=john-phillips-mississippi#40256 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1390&PID=40254&title=john-phillips-mississippi#40254 Author: edtop40
