The original on Mega Records was when the label was
being handled by Pickwick's distribution arm. My late
grandmother's worn example was on vinyl, mastered in
Nashville at Columbia's Owen Bradley Studios. P.I.P. was
the Pickwick Distribution arm which also handled De-Lite
product early on. Zodiac version is a later pressing of
the Mega 45. It is still the original version and sounds
good, if inferior pressed to the Mega 45 on vinyl.

Todd, did you ever buy one of those CD sets? I'm
wondering if this song has appeared since on another CD.]]> Sat, 01 Aug 2015 15:08:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2986&PID=44048&title=marilyn-sellarsone-day-at-a-time#44048 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2986&PID=40410&title=marilyn-sellarsone-day-at-a-time#40410 Author: edtop40

ok...as everyone knows i'm working my way through the 'S'
letter of the alphabet and came across this song.....i
actually have two vinyl 45's....one the original 1974
issue as mega 205 with a listed run time as 3:27 but
actual time of 3:29 and is in stereo....i also have a 45
issued as zodiac 1001 with the same details......i took a
stab and downloaded the version from amazon of the black
and white covered album titled 'marilyn sellars: one day
at a time: the original artist and
recordings'....and...i'm glad to report it's NOT a re-
recorded version, but does sound like a vinyl transfer
from the lp.....what is odd is it's pitched up and runs
only 3:25 and not 3:29 like the vinyl 45....in addition
the channels are reversed....during the intro the 45 has
the strings in the left and the piano in the
right.......the download has them reversed.....if anyone
would like a copy for their own review, let me know....]]> Fri, 31 Jan 2014 09:01:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2986&PID=40410&title=marilyn-sellarsone-day-at-a-time#40410 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2986&PID=13918&title=marilyn-sellarsone-day-at-a-time#13918 Author: Todd Ireland

Jim:

Todd, you bringing up that Melba Montgomery song always reminds me of this one as well, which was a similar, 1974 country crossover smash, that also just eked into the BB Top 40 (BB #37, 9/74), but also narrowly missed inclusion in Pat's database. "One Day At A Time" has turned into one of these "inspirational, country-tinged classics" (who could EVER forget that Christy Lane commercial, that ran repeatedly on TV a few years back, which featured her version of it!) I have seen Marilyn Sellars CDs online, which include this song. But, as her "signature" song, I am highly skeptical that these CDs don't actually include her original 1974 Mega hit recording, but instead a later re-recording. Does anyone know which, if any, of the CDs she has out there actually includes her original hit recording? It is times like this that I thank my lucky stars for Pat's database, which always does an incredible job in sorting things like this out for us. In this case, I do lament the fact that its apparantly-low Cashbox peak has kept this song out of the database, necessitating both extra detective work, and this post. ]]> Sun, 23 Dec 2007 19:06:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2986&PID=13739&title=marilyn-sellarsone-day-at-a-time#13739
