There is another difference other than length on the DJ mono 45. It's missing the horns at 2:05. Stereo versions (like the stock 45) all have it, the mono DJ 45 does not. I don't know if there was a Columbia Hall of Fame reissue on this song, those often used mono versions instead of the stereo stock 45 version. ]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 12:09:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1990&PID=16523&title=raidersbirds-of-a-feather#16523 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1990&PID=12800&title=raidersbirds-of-a-feather#12800 Author: jimct

Correct, Todd! Thanks for the pickup (post fatigue/old age!)

By that point in time weren't the Raiders pretty much Mark Lindsay, maybe Freddy Weller, & L.A.'s best studio musicians?

(Kind of an update on the period where 'Paul Revere & the Raiders' were pretty much Mark Lindsay, [the late] Terry Melcher & studio musicians.)

No I think it was just in the can for an upcoming Lindsay project but they needed a Raiders follow up to Indian Reservation. Unless Mark was going to record it as a solo track, changed his mind and then recorded it as the Raiders. I'm not sure which. I just seem to remember it was going to be a Lindsay track and was switched. I don't believe it was ever released as just Mark Lindsay. ]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2007 05:17:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1990&PID=12790&title=raidersbirds-of-a-feather#12790 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1990&PID=12788&title=raidersbirds-of-a-feather#12788 Author: eriejwg

That's interesting, Bill! Were there any early promo 45's for Birds Of A Feather released with just mark Lindsay's name on it? Certainly would be collector's items if there were!]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2007 00:07:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1990&PID=12788&title=raidersbirds-of-a-feather#12788 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1990&PID=12769&title=raidersbirds-of-a-feather#12769 Author: Todd Ireland

I really like the Raiders' remake of "Bird Of A Feather".

I especially like the fake (or is it real?!) 'Love Generation' background vox.

While the "A" side is IMHO a mediocre cover of a Joe South song, the "B" side is a real classic. "The Turkey". So bad it's great!!]]> Sat, 17 Nov 2007 14:59:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1990&PID=12742&title=raidersbirds-of-a-feather#12742 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1990&PID=12740&title=raidersbirds-of-a-feather#12740 Author: jimct

I have just reviewed my promo 45 for this. The stereo side of it has exactly the same details as my commercial 45 does (listed 2:34; actual 2:43). But the promo 45's mono side is different, with a listed time of (2:45), but an actual time of (2:34). Seems like the 1971 Columbia "label prep person" may have transposed some of the stereo and mono version's timing details here.
