Thanks, Steve. Keep in mind that even if the labels are inadvertently reversed as they are on your copy, it doesn't change the actual designated "A" and "B" sides of the record. Dunhill never issued "Chest Fever" as a designated "A" side.

Considering the sheer number of copies needed to land any given record in the top 40, there's a good chance that at least a couple of those copies might have been pressed with the labels reversed. Even though the stock 45 of the Hollies single I mentioned above had the B-side label pasted on both sides, I would never say that both sides were the "B" side of the record, simply because one side was mislabeled.]]> Tue, 22 Sep 2015 17:16:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6640&PID=44423&title=three-dog-night-one#44423 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6640&PID=44422&title=three-dog-night-one#44422 Author: Steve Carras

#2. CHEST FEVER is the side A, that plays "One", and ONE is the side B, that plays "Chest Fever". Guess which side I played first.."ONE"! aka actually Chest Fever. ]]> Tue, 22 Sep 2015 16:17:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6640&PID=44422&title=three-dog-night-one#44422 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6640&PID=44417&title=three-dog-night-one#44417 Author: Yah Shure

Steve, could you please further clarify your statement? From your description above, I'm not sure whether your copy:

1.) Has the letter "A" printed on the "Chest Fever" side of the label.

*or*

2.) Has the labels reversed, i.e., the side labeled "Chest Fever" actually plays "One" and the side labeled "One" actually plays "Chest Fever."

If #1 is the case, that would be the first I've heard of any pre-'70s original Dunhill stock 45 having the letter "A" printed on the A-side.

If #2 is the case, reversed-label syndrome isn't all that uncommon. Mix-ups did occur. I was so dazzled by the spiffy picture sleeve that came with the Hollies' "On A Carousel" 45 (and that thought that Imperial would actually issue one) that I failed to notice the record itself had the B-side "All The World Is Love" labels on both sides until I got it home (the label printing on the side that played "Carousel" was a little fuzzier, so it wasn't hard to tell which side was which.)

The other poster on that YouTube video had said their labels were "backwards," a description which also could be left to interpretation. Did they mean "enO" and "reveF tsehC" backwards? Or upside-down backwards, in which case the white back sides of the labels would have been on the top sides? Or that the vinyl was pressed on top of the labels? So many possibilities... :)

Interesting observation about the A- and B-sides. In the video, I couldn't
see any marking on the side shown that would indicate either way.

By the way, I'm also of the belief that there is little, if any, noticeable
difference between the mono and stereo mixes. Pat says the mono is
"swimming in reverb" and that no stereo copy contains this reverb. I
folded down the stereo and did an A/B comparison, and they sound
very close to my ears. ]]> Tue, 22 Sep 2015 06:13:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6640&PID=44416&title=three-dog-night-one#44416 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6640&PID=44415&title=three-dog-night-one#44415 Author: Hykker

Could it have initially been released with "Chest Fever" as
the A side? My promo has "One" on both sides...not unusual
for some labels, but it's the only double-A side Dunhill
single I've ever seen prior to mid-1971 when they started
issuing promos mono/stereo.
I'm thinking it could have been a reservice, leaving no doubt
as to what was REALLY the plug side.

As the LP version is 3:02 and the single version is 2:47 but in mono and with extra reverb, if I were to take the 3:02 version and fade it to 2:47, would that approximate the single version - or is there also edits that make the single the shorter length of 2:47?]]> Sat, 19 Sep 2015 22:38:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6640&PID=44399&title=three-dog-night-one#44399 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6640&PID=32875&title=three-dog-night-one#32875 Author: The Hits Man

The Chicago horn section is also a bit more prominent on
the "Celebrate" mono single.]]> Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:01:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6640&PID=32875&title=three-dog-night-one#32875
