Westwood One's "Good Time Oldies" format still plays this
one....in fact they use the "hit" version. Hard to believe!]]> Wed, 28 Mar 2018 07:21:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7598&PID=49132&title=draggin-the-line-tommy-james#49132 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7598&PID=49130&title=draggin-the-line-tommy-james#49130 Author: eriejwg

The mono version to me has always been the hit mix. Never
really been a fan of the stereo version, even though
that's all you heard on the radio for decades. Nowadays,
you don't hear the song anymore alt all except for
SiriusXM.]]> Tue, 27 Mar 2018 18:54:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7598&PID=49130&title=draggin-the-line-tommy-james#49130 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7598&PID=49129&title=draggin-the-line-tommy-james#49129 Author: MMathews

Steve, I totally agree. Always sounded to me like they put the original mono B-side mixdown in one track then added all the overdubs we hear in the left and right channels.

Too bad they then decided to add the horn echo on the stereo mix. I recall thinking that sounded funny when I first heard the stereo.

Quite a few differences in addition to the horns. To my
ears, it sounds like the only stereo content is what was
added to the hit version.

This song was first the b-side for the single "Church Street Soul Rival" (a minor hot 100 charter) and then six months later it was issued as an a-side. My question is were both versions of "Draggin' The Line" the same?]]> Sun, 25 Mar 2018 11:31:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7598&PID=49114&title=draggin-the-line-tommy-james#49114 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7598&PID=38719&title=draggin-the-line-tommy-james#38719 Author: Todd Ireland

The database currently notes that commercial 45 copies of Tommy James' "Draggin' The Line" contains the mono mix. I thought I'd also report the actual commercial 45 run time is 2:41, not 2:45 as stated on the label. (Thanks to Jim for yet another helpful assist.)]]> Sun, 04 Aug 2013 21:01:28 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7598&PID=38719&title=draggin-the-line-tommy-james#38719
