FYI: the US 45 edit has finally been released on CD (and in
stereo) on Hard To Find Jukebox Classics 1963: Rock, Rhythm
& Pop (on the Hit Parade label).]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2014 20:42:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7608&PID=41212&title=ray-stevens-ahab-the-arab#41212 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7608&PID=38780&title=ray-stevens-ahab-the-arab#38780 Author: edtop40

my commercial 45 for the ray stevens song 'ahab, the arab'
issued as mercury 71966 lists the run time on the label as
2:47 and does indeed run that length and is an edit of the
full length 3:48 version....thanks mark for the edit and
converting to mono....outstanding work!!!..this 45 run time
info s/b added to the db....]]> Sat, 10 Aug 2013 08:39:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7608&PID=38780&title=ray-stevens-ahab-the-arab#38780 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7608&PID=38766&title=ray-stevens-ahab-the-arab#38766 Author: edtop40

The U.S. 45 is an edit of the full length version, but as I do not have the album, I can't comment on whether or not the full length version is on the LP. I think the 45 also has additional reverb not on the stereo mix.

I can confirm that the version on Golden Age Of American R&R: Novelty Edition is the UK 45 version as issued on Mercury 45 AMT 1184.]]> Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:19:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7608&PID=38751&title=ray-stevens-ahab-the-arab#38751 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7608&PID=38750&title=ray-stevens-ahab-the-arab#38750 Author: MMathews

Ok,
I couldn't find a thread on this one specifically...

does anyone know if the 45 version is merely an edit of
the Mercury LP version?

Paul C also mentioned a version that appears on the Ace
CD "Golden Age Of American R&R: Novelty Edition" that
seems to have alternate lyrics for the UK market. I
wondered if anyone ever confirmed it was the UK 45
version.... but i'm gathering it is definitely NOT the
U.S. 45 version?

Thanks in advance for any info
MM
