On "Free" I think "edit" only refers to editing off the music that preceded the horn start on Chicago III, like the stereo single intro.

Stock copies were all stereo as far as I know.

And the DJ mono side sounds like a fold down to me, I can't hear any real difference.

Lowdown on the other hand clearly had a dedicated mono presentation on the DJ mono side, it starts louder, (had more consistent levels, probably a little more compression) EQ for AM radio and at 1:23 where you can clearly hear Cetera sing "oh yeah" on the stereo version, you can just barely hear him say that on the mono side.

So, I'd rather have the mono on Lowdown available, but that would have been too much of that song for the CD, as they have the Japanese version of Lowdown on the CD as a bonus track. ]]> Wed, 26 Mar 2014 19:34:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39&PID=40832&title=more-mono-finds#40832 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39&PID=40824&title=more-mono-finds#40824 Author: Indy500

The 2013 Friday Music remastered and expanded Chicago III has the mono
45 edit of "Free." It runs 2:21]]> Wed, 26 Mar 2014 17:07:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39&PID=40824&title=more-mono-finds#40824 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39&PID=39555&title=more-mono-finds#39555 Author: Indy500

Save your money. While the packaging says "mono" both these tracks are the
stereo lp versions.

Big letdown. ]]> Fri, 01 Nov 2013 16:58:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39&PID=39555&title=more-mono-finds#39555 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39&PID=39529&title=more-mono-finds#39529 Author: Brian W.

I received a reply from Ace regarding this:

"In compiling the Clarence Carter Singles, we aimed to use the best tape versions still in existence. Sadly in the case of several of these singles - including Patches - the mono masters no longer appear to exist, in other cases the stereo single master is the one that has disappeared."]]> Mon, 28 Oct 2013 07:03:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39&PID=39529&title=more-mono-finds#39529 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39&PID=39516&title=more-mono-finds#39516 Author: Indy500

I do remember the copy with it on mono on both sides did say MONO on both labels. Apparently the only one I still own is the one sided mono promo. I was never wild about the song, which would explain why I only have the one copy still. If it did exist on a stereo promo, it's possible the stereo version would be what ends up on the cd.

For whatever reason, Atlantic was slow to release stereo
promo singles of soul acts. In addition to "Patches", I
have several early 70s promos by Wilson Pickett that are
mono/mono, well after rock promos were mono/stereo.
