The Donny Osmond/Sweet & Innocent 45 is mono only and a different performance than the Osmonds LP version is. Recorded by Rick Hall at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. My MGM Osmonds 45 singles are in nice condition and sound excellent. I own the UK MGM 45 of "Morning Side Of The Mountain". A tip, these singles are best played back on broadcast cartridges with conical styli, the Stanton 681a or Pickering XV 15 DJ are my favorites and the Shure M 44-7 or M 44-G are nice choices too.

I'm 99% sure there is an edit in "Yo-Yo," and Pat's notes are probably correct that it's around 2:00.]]> Mon, 21 Apr 2008 22:53:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3269&PID=15545&title=osmonds-45s#15545 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3269&PID=15542&title=osmonds-45s#15542 Author: eriejwg

Regarding "Love Me For A Reason" I hear horn overdubs on the 45 version that I do not hear on the LP version. Listen starting at 1:25. My notes on Yo Yo indicate that the 45 and LP start diverging at the 2:00 mark.]]> Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:26:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3269&PID=15541&title=osmonds-45s#15541 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3269&PID=15539&title=osmonds-45s#15539 Author: eriejwg

Just got in a commercial 45 for "Love Me For A Reason." Listed is 3:45, actual is 3:47.

Besides being an early fade of the LP, the background vocals aren't nearly as buried on the 45 as on the LP version.

Unfortunately, the audio quality of any MGM's I've encountered with the Osmonds 45's I have bought has been poor. Love Me For A Reason, Yo-Yo and Double Lovin'.

Not true, Grant. "Love Me for a Reason" is an early fade. But the single was mono, and it definitely was not a fold-down (I tried it), so in a strict sense the "true" 45 version cannot be recreated. (Unlike the mono promo edit of Ringo Starr's "Oh My My," which absolutely is a fold-down.)]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 21:11:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3269&PID=15445&title=osmonds-45s#15445 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3269&PID=15430&title=osmonds-45s#15430 Author: eriejwg

The same question holds true for "Yo-Yo", there is a version vs length designation. Edit points, or a different mix?]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:29:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3269&PID=15430&title=osmonds-45s#15430 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3269&PID=15429&title=osmonds-45s#15429 Author: sriv94

I hadn't seen that changed--it used to be a "length" designation (not that I don't look in the database, but I don't usually use it to find Osmonds material :) ).

So I'm probably wrong and there must be something other than fadeout, otherwise it wouldn't have been changed. So I'll second John's question.]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:20:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3269&PID=15429&title=osmonds-45s#15429
