I'm listening to my mono stock 45 of Downtown (WB 5494, styrene, stamped matrix numbers of GA -14252-1G) and i'm hearing the upswing in the vocal for the one word at the same point that it occurs in the stereo mix, although it is pretty well buried behind the music bed and the backing vocalists. I only have the stereo pressing of the Downtown LP so if someone could shoot me a dub off of the mono lp I would appreciate it. Years ago I had a vinyl promo for Downtown and I ended up selling it on ebay (and this was before I got into collecting promo 45s... if only I knew then what I know now....)]]> Fri, 08 Jul 2011 06:45:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=30819&title=downtown-petula-clark#30819 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=30410&title=downtown-petula-clark#30410 Author: Pat Downey

I finally found a copy of the U.S. mono LP of "Downtown" and the mono copy includes the 45 version of Downtown.]]> Tue, 31 May 2011 16:23:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=30410&title=downtown-petula-clark#30410 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29921&title=downtown-petula-clark#29921 Author: KentT

No, UK Pye original Mono LP. Also, Swedish Pye Mono LP also is the same. Who originated her English language recordings. ]]> Fri, 22 Apr 2011 19:22:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29921&title=downtown-petula-clark#29921 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29917&title=downtown-petula-clark#29917 Author: Pat Downey

Kent, the stereo vinyl LP is definitely not the 45 version as I have a copy of the stereo LP. You make a comment regarding the mono LP being the 45 version but is it the US mono LP?]]> Fri, 22 Apr 2011 18:52:25 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29917&title=downtown-petula-clark#29917 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29910&title=downtown-petula-clark#29910 Author: KentT

US Stereo LP version, the UK Pye LP sounds like the 45 single. At least the Mono LP is. ]]> Fri, 22 Apr 2011 16:36:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29910&title=downtown-petula-clark#29910 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29660&title=downtown-petula-clark#29660 Author: Pat Downey

Does anyone have a copy of the mono "Downtown" vinyl LP as we need to see if this is strictly a stereo LP version or an LP version? ]]> Sat, 02 Apr 2011 17:21:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29660&title=downtown-petula-clark#29660 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29641&title=downtown-petula-clark#29641 Author: Paul Haney

Nice observation, Fetta!

Just a suggestion...in the future you may want to do a search and put these in the already existing topic threads.]]> Fri, 01 Apr 2011 05:10:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29641&title=downtown-petula-clark#29641 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29636&title=downtown-petula-clark#29636 Author: davidclark

great observation, Fetta. I too didn't notice that before, however in just
comparing the two, in the mono mix i have, I can not hear her sing
"Downtown" as she does in the stereo mix (as you state, going "up" in her
tone).

what a subtle difference, but i agree, a distinction is deserved here.]]> Fri, 01 Apr 2011 03:44:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29636&title=downtown-petula-clark#29636 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29634&title=downtown-petula-clark#29634 Author: Fetta

Something I just noticed with "Downtown" by Petula Clark.......

at the 2:03 mark in the song during the instrumental break when she sings "Downtown", she goes up an octave on all the appearances that I have on CD.   This did not occur on the original 45 version.   

So is this a stereo vs. mono issue since all but one (which I don't have) of the songs CD appearance are in Stereo? If so, would all of these versions be categorized as "Stereo LP version"...

Thoughts?]]> Thu, 31 Mar 2011 20:34:05 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6169&PID=29634&title=downtown-petula-clark#29634
