Jim, thanks for bringing "Nutrocker" up. For some reason, we never played the song at my college station, and, with no top-40 airplay here, I never bought the 45. In my haste to rip the Greg Lake single from the CD EP when it was new, I filed it and never thought to give it another glance. Until now, that is, so thanks!

I'll have to ask my college station MD predecessor why he passed on it... as if he'd remember 36-plus years later. He barely remembers some of the records he did add!

The big mystery to me was why Cotillion never released ELP's "Hoedown" as a single.

Although this 45 only reached #70 in Billboard in April, 1972, my local Top 40 station played it frequently, as a current. My commercial 45 for it is in mono, and always sounded to me like both an edited and remixed version from the version included on their "Pictures At An Exhibition" album, which runs around (4:31). While pulling out some Christmas CDs today, I noticed a 5-track CD EP, that Rhino issued back in 1995, titled "I Believe In Father Christmas". And besides including both the Greg Lake 1975 45 version and the EL&P LP version (from "Works, Volume 2") of the EP's classic title track, I just noticed that the last track on there is both a listed and actual (3:49) version of "Nutrocker". My original 45 is a listed (3:43), actual (3:42) version. And, except for about :02 of extra crowd noise at the start, which the 45 removes, and then :04-:05 seconds of extra crowd noise at the end, which the 45 also removes, after giving it a careful listen and comparing it against my 45, I have determined that the versions are otherwise one and the same, with the CD version in stereo, however. And since I have not been able to locate any "deluxe" EL&P CD featuring a 45 version of "Nutrocker" on it (and if anyone knows of one, please let me know!), I just thought I would pass my new findings along, for anyone else interested. ]]> Sat, 29 Nov 2008 18:49:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4430&PID=19991&title=emerson-lake-palmernutrocker#19991
