My U.S. Janus Records Flying Machine LP (DJ copy) features "Smile A Little Smile For Me" in mono, and sounds exactly
like the mono single. The follow single "Baby Make It Soon" is in stereo on my LP. ]]> Fri, 08 Sep 2023 09:28:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3077&PID=63579&title=flying-machine-smile-a-little-smile#63579 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3077&PID=63536&title=flying-machine-smile-a-little-smile#63536 Author: davidclark

That's right. My information about that UK LP came from a reliable source. So,
the Rhino HAND is not the LP version, as that UK LP was not issued in the US
nor at the time of the 1969 45.

According to a 2018 post above from davidclark, the Have A Nice Day stereo version is from a 1970 UK compilation LP called The Tony Macaulay And John MacLeod Song Book. We believe that this 1970 LP was the first time the song was mixed to true stereo.

According to 2008 posts above from Kent T and satchdr, the US LP version is the same as the US 45 but in fake stereo.

The version on Rhino's Have A Nice Day cd is not the LP
version?]]> Fri, 25 Aug 2023 07:34:46 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3077&PID=63521&title=flying-machine-smile-a-little-smile#63521 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3077&PID=63519&title=flying-machine-smile-a-little-smile#63519 Author: LunarLaugh

If you don't mind the solo part in the middle being different, it's easily found on Rhino's Super Hits of The 70s: Have a

Yes, sorry for the confusion. To clarify, I was referring to Rhino's Have a Nice
Day series. ]]> Wed, 23 Aug 2023 13:21:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3077&PID=63516&title=flying-machine-smile-a-little-smile#63516 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3077&PID=63512&title=flying-machine-smile-a-little-smile#63512 Author: crapfromthepast

Pat - I believe that the post above referred to Rhino's Have A Nice Day series, not the Rhino Handmade series.

Also, the database currently lists Varese Sarabande's 25 All-Time Greatest Bubblegum Hits as "faster than the U.S. 45 and LP version". I believe this should also be "neither the U.S. 45 nor LP version", like most of the other entries. The Varese disc lacks the reverb that was present on the US 45, just like most of the other CD releases of the song.

Which Rhino Hand made cd does this song appear on?]]> Wed, 23 Aug 2023 07:53:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3077&PID=63510&title=flying-machine-smile-a-little-smile#63510 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3077&PID=63505&title=flying-machine-smile-a-little-smile#63505 Author: EdisonLite

It sounds like the 1970 stereo version never existed on a Flying Machine LP (or
45) but a UK VA comp of Tony Macaulay songs - and it appears on CD on the
Rhino HAND series (and others). Since its first appearance is on an LP from
1970, and not, say 1976, I'd say it's an official 1970 stereo version - and the
only one in existence. And luckily on CD.

Am I misunderstanding your question? It sounds like the US mono 45 version
doesn't exist on CD or digitally anywhere. ]]> Tue, 22 Aug 2023 23:32:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3077&PID=63505&title=flying-machine-smile-a-little-smile#63505 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3077&PID=63503&title=flying-machine-smile-a-little-smile#63503 Author: PopArchivist
