You're right, glad it's still available.]]> Thu, 07 Sep 2023 17:29:55 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1626&PID=63577&title=cowsills-hair#63577 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1626&PID=63576&title=cowsills-hair#63576 Author: Archives Guy

Brilliant - thank you.
Have any other volumes been remastered with track
changes?

There are only two versions of this Eric Records CD release (volume 17). The remastered version with the mono version of "Hair" is the version now being sold on that site. "Hair" is track 5.
"I Live For The Sun" appears on both the original CD release as well as the current remastered version.

If you go to the Eric site it now lists "I Live For The
Sun" as track 11. So if you are looking for Hair there are
now at least 3 versions of Vol 17.]]> Mon, 04 Sep 2023 16:01:53 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1626&PID=63567&title=cowsills-hair#63567 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1626&PID=62454&title=cowsills-hair#62454 Author: Indy500

Ed, as David mentioned upthread, the wind sound effects on the stereo mix are in the second verse:

I let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees
Give a home for the fleas in my hair

The wind blows in after the word "breeze" at about the 1:34 mark, builds into a full gale, then finally dies down at 1:41.

The first time I ever heard the stereo mix of "Hair" was in the '70s, on one of WMID/Atlantic City's Post Records compilation LPs. My first impression: "what's with the howling wind?" Having only ever heard the mono 45, it sounded completely ridiculous to me, but must have made a lasting impression, nonetheless: When Art Garfunkel's "Bright Eyes" single was current in 1979, I could never resist the temptation to bury the line "there's a high wind in the trees, a cold sound in the air" under hurricane-like wind sound effects. My very belated apologies to any listeners who might have been disappointed that Hurricane Art was not on their 45s. ;)

bwolfe: The stereo and mono intros are the same length.
