Ed, my 1962 stock copy of Parkway 849 also has the same actual time for
"Popeye" (2:26) as your report above, but my copy's listed time for that
side is (2:25), not (2:29).     

And although the #10 BB peak for the "Popeye" side was eclipsed by the
#2 BB peak for the flip side, Limbo Rock, my stock 45 label has "Popeye"
as P849-A (with typewriter deadwax of "P-849-A3"), with the "Limbo
Rock" side label stating P849-B, with typewriter deadwax of "P-849-B2").
My stock 45 copy apparently came from an earlier pressing run than yours
did. Because early on, it looks like Parkway intended for "Popeye" to be the
A-side. Over the years, I've been surprised at just how many times the
labels themselves had misread which side of the 45 the "hit" would
emerge from.

my commercial 45 for the chubby checker song 'popeye (the
hitchhiker)' issued as the B-side of parkway 849 lists the
run time on the label as 2:29 but actually runs 2:26....and
is identical to the version on the cameo best of cd, except
you'll need to pitch that 2:23 running version down to run
2:26...this 45 info s/b added to the db...]]> Sun, 22 Sep 2013 13:04:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7705&PID=39194&title=chubby-checker-popeye-the-hitchhiker#39194
