Thanks. It's such a slapdash era for mono vs. stereo releases of 45s.]]> Tue, 04 May 2010 19:33:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2022&PID=26259&title=gilbert-osullivanalone-again#26259 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2022&PID=26251&title=gilbert-osullivanalone-again#26251 Author: Yah Shure

Paul, my guess is that one of the several pressing plants London Records was using at the time (Shelley, Columbia, PRC or Monarch) may have pressed some commercial copies using the stamper from the DJ 45's stereo side. Different pressing plants is also the likely explanation for the MAM-3619/45-3619 record number variations.

That's actually the letter "Z" prefix - as in ZXDR - on your stereo copy's matrix number, which was London's code for stereo on their 45s.

The 1976-ish reissue 45 on the MAM "great hits" series was mono, as was its flip side, "Out Of The Question."

I just was going through my 45s of the early '70s to see which are in mono
or stereo, when I discovered that, not only do I have a mono single of this
song (inner ring # XDR-50933-1) but a stereo 45 as well (inner ring # 2XDR
50933). There's no marking on the label indicating stereo. For what it's
worth, the mono single label # is MAM-3619, while on the stereo single it's
45-3619. Was the stereo 45 a re-release after the song hit big?]]> Mon, 03 May 2010 15:54:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2022&PID=26250&title=gilbert-osullivanalone-again#26250 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2022&PID=9747&title=gilbert-osullivanalone-again#9747 Author: jimct

My commercial 45 for this, which is mono, has a listed time of (3:40), but an actual time of (3:36).]]> Sun, 06 May 2007 19:32:26 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2022&PID=9747&title=gilbert-osullivanalone-again#9747
