Pat, after reading your latest post, I researched this situation. The "Daisy Mae" single debuted on BB on 12/4/71, and peaked on 2/5/72. H, JF & R only issued two albums on Dunhill/ABC: Their self-titled debut, which entered the BB LP chart on 6/19/71, and "Hallway Symphony", which entered the BB LP chart on 2/19/72. Mr. Whitburn, Paul Haney & Co. have included an EXCELLENT feature in their "Billboard Top Pop Albums 1955-2001" book, which I own a copy of. It lists ALL song track listings, for ALL charting LPs, just below the LP chart stats. I've used this feature hundreds of times. Pat, this would absolutely be a book which could make your life substantially easier, especially in cases like "Daisy Mae." To my surprise, this track does NOT appear on either of their two Dunhill/ABC LPs. My conclusion - "Daisy Mae" was a "45-only" release. The label apparently felt there wasn't a strong enough candidate from their debut LP to issue a 3rd single from (after "Don't Pull Your Love" and "Annabella.") In very late 1971, with the new H, JF & R LP likely not ready yet, the label must've wanted to keep the group's new-found momentum going, and quickly threw together "Daisy Mae", as a 45-only release, as sort of a "stopgap" measure. Further, by early 1972, the label must've felt they already had many strong tracks all finished and ready to go for the "Hallway Symphony" LP - so much so, that they apparently opted NOT to include the "Daisy Mae" track, which by this time, 2/19/72, was on its way down the Hot 100. Hope this helps, Pat.

Jim, I bring this back for further consideration as I have been unable to locate an Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds LP that contains the song "Daisy Mae". If anyone has an LP with this song included, what is the running time, album title, record label and catalog number?]]> Sun, 15 Apr 2007 18:18:03 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1726&PID=9519&title=hamilton-joe-frank-reynoldsdaisy-mae#9519 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1726&PID=8698&title=hamilton-joe-frank-reynoldsdaisy-mae#8698 Author: jimct

I only have a promo 45 for this, and both the "mono" and the "stereo quad" (oh, that term is SO 1972!) sides have a listed time of (2:53) and an actual time of (2:52). My Whitburn book shows a commercial 45 time of (2:53) as well. I post this topic ONLY because the 2 database CD appearances for this are (2:58), possibly requiring an "LP length" notation.
