john halloran wrote: Cat Stevens-Moon Shadow Pat, please pull your original 45 copy (no reissues) of Moon Shadow..........Indeed, the single is the only place I've ever see the title in 2 words, "Moon Shadow" as opposed to "Moonshadow" which denotes the LP mix and has appeared on the original LP and every subsequent re-release of the song, either vinyl or disc, to my knowledge.

Updating John's original "Moon Shadow"/"Moonshadow" post: I can confirm that the 45 version was definitely available in the 1977 revision of A&M's Forget Me Nots reissue 45 series, identifiable by its green-and-orange-stripes-with-finger label design. This reissue (A&M 8547) is titled "Moonshadow." As this is the only reissue copy I have, I cannot confirm whether or not the 45 version was a part of either the earlier "spectacles" logo Forget Me Nots or the later Memories reissue series.

BTW, the quickest way to determine the LP/45 difference is during the acoustic guitar intro. The LP version has the guitar panned from right to center, then left before the vocal starts. The 45 intro sounds much more natural, with the guitar in stereo on both channels and no panning.]]> Fri, 14 May 2010 20:18:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=747&PID=26410&title=moon-shadow-vs-moonshadow#26410 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=747&PID=11952&title=moon-shadow-vs-moonshadow#11952 Author: eriejwg

Picked up a near mint stock 45 of Moon Shadow. Thanks everyone for your analysis. Another one off the list! (Gee, that statement never gets old!)

I know this is an old thread and was probably covered before but the Moon Shadow DJ 45 is stereo/mono and both sides contain a different mix than the lp in several ways, most noticable is a doubling of the first two "Moonshadow Moonshadows" near the beginning of the song, and a lack of reverb on the second last "Moonshadow Moonshadow" at the end of the song.

Interesting, Bill. I'm not sure any of us were aware of that, so you just brought up some great new information!]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2007 23:33:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=747&PID=11929&title=moon-shadow-vs-moonshadow#11929 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=747&PID=11923&title=moon-shadow-vs-moonshadow#11923 Author: BillCahill

Welcome John!

Technically you can't create an exact 45 version of "Mama Told Me Not To Come" simply by an early fade, there are handclaps at 2:03 and 2:05 on the mono single which are not on the stereo version. That's enough to make it a specific version. The song is a bit muddy so it's not really obvious, but those handclaps are there on the 45, and they are not on the stereo LP version. ]]> Wed, 10 Oct 2007 18:20:25 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=747&PID=11923&title=moon-shadow-vs-moonshadow#11923 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=747&PID=11910&title=moon-shadow-vs-moonshadow#11910 Author: eriejwg

Thanks Paul... and Paul!

Aaron, sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you but I kind of spaced out your request. The "Mama Told Me Not To Come" situation is similar to other discussions lately where the 45 "version" can be obtained by simply fading the LP "version" but since the LP ending is so dramatically different than the 45 I elected to give it a "version" designation rather than "length" designation. As we have seen lately in chat board postings, some feel this is the correct way to categorize certain songs while others do not agree. Whatever designation I give in this case will be satisfactory to some and unsatisfactory to others -- it is just a no win situation.]]> Wed, 07 Jun 2006 06:20:18 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=747&PID=5525&title=moon-shadow-vs-moonshadow#5525
