Interesting to see this thread that started so long ago
come back! The BIG question, is there a CD with the
correct US mono 45? Most seem to contain the incorrect
British mix (info from The45Profs YouTube post of his Big
Top 45)? That's what I use for my source at the moment.]]> Sun, 23 Mar 2025 17:57:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4776&PID=66188&title=del-shannon-hats-off-to-larry#66188 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4776&PID=66187&title=del-shannon-hats-off-to-larry#66187 Author: TomDiehl1

I am assuming not, based on these earlier
comments from Pat:

I have looked into this question again David and here is what I come up with
1) I have the mono "Little Town Flirt" vinyl LP and it is identical to the 45 mix of Hats Off To Larry
2) again, my copy of Rhino 70977 has this musitron or whatever it is called at :16 but it is lower in volume than on the 45 or LP. Perhaps there are 2 pressings of this cd so my matrix information is 4/90 1DA1
3) other mono cd's with a lower volume are Heartland 1042, Laurie 1013, Laurie 4102, Laurie 6014, Collectables 2510 and 4510 and 1656, Music Club 50044, Curb 77756 and Time-Life 2RNR-04 first pressing
4) other mono appearances have the musitron but at 45 and LP volume]]> Sat, 21 Jul 2018 19:41:54 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4776&PID=49740&title=del-shannon-hats-off-to-larry#49740 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4776&PID=49732&title=del-shannon-hats-off-to-larry#49732 Author: davidclark

The database was never updated to indicate that the mono versions on CD
that have the clavioline or "Musitron" (not Mellotron, as that wasn't invented
until 1963 acc. to wiki), mixed out (or down) are not the 45. Would be nice
to know if any of the mono CDs in the database actually contain the true 45
version. There still remains the mystery that the mono LP version might be
this one though.

Alternatively, may there be an original 45 that is missing that blip (meaning,
2 different 45s?)]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2018 04:21:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4776&PID=49732&title=del-shannon-hats-off-to-larry#49732 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4776&PID=40420&title=del-shannon-hats-off-to-larry#40420 Author: edtop40

on another note, so to speak....my commercial 45 issued as
big top 3075 lists the run time on the label as 2:00, but
actually only runs 1:56...if you fade the mono rhino
'greatest hits' cd version for 0:06 from 1:50 to 1:56 you
can effectively re-create the vinyl 45 version.....this 45
run time s/b added to the db....]]> Sat, 01 Feb 2014 07:49:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4776&PID=40420&title=del-shannon-hats-off-to-larry#40420 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4776&PID=35245&title=del-shannon-hats-off-to-larry#35245 Author: AndrewChouffi

For anybody that cares about this sort of thing, Max Crook, Del Shannon's keys player, called his special keyboard a "Musitron".

(Sorry I don't have any answers to the actual question...)

Hmm... my Del Shannon import of his "Runaway With" and "Hats Off to Larry" albums, which are mono on this disc from Mole Hole/Beat Goes On Records (and from tape), has the muffled mellotron at :16. Looks like we may have a mono single/mono album difference.]]> Thu, 06 Sep 2012 22:36:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4776&PID=35239&title=del-shannon-hats-off-to-larry#35239 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4776&PID=35238&title=del-shannon-hats-off-to-larry#35238 Author: davidclark

Just listened to that mono version from Rhino's "Greatest Hits" CD, and that
"buried" mellotron at :16 really stood out as being missing! Would that not
justify a database update, as it's not really the correct version, being so
buried...which means I need a true mono 45 mix of the song for my
collection.
