I have the 45 version of "Let's Go Steady Again" in mono
from iTunes Canada from The Best of Neil Sedaka,
which has a copyright line of '(p)1996 BMG UK & Ireland
Ltd', although the release date is given as June 20, 2003,
which is the release year Discogs gives for the physical CD.

https://www.discogs.com/release/4552612-Neil-Sedaka-The-
Best-Of-Neil-Sedaka

Of the seven Neil Sedaka compilations on iTunes Canada
containing the song, three have the 45 version, and all
three are from 'BMG UK & Ireland'.

If the stereo version did not appear until a 1988 US
release, that might explain why all 'UK & Ireland' releases
appear to have the mono 45 version.

Thanks for the info on where we can find it with the hand clap overdubs. That eight CD box set was released two decades ago, so not surprised a good used copy sells for a small fortune these days.]]> Mon, 14 Aug 2023 17:04:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7931&PID=63485&title=neil-sedaka-lets-go-steady-again#63485 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7931&PID=63484&title=neil-sedaka-lets-go-steady-again#63484 Author: LunarLaugh

I'm still holding out hope that I might find one of these sets 'in the wild'. The price of import shipping such a big box of discs can
be a little hefty these days, not to mention what some sellers are charging for the box itself. ]]> Mon, 14 Aug 2023 12:55:11 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7931&PID=63484&title=neil-sedaka-lets-go-steady-again#63484 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7931&PID=63480&title=neil-sedaka-lets-go-steady-again#63480 Author: ChicagoBill

Has anyone found this song on CD with the hand clap overdubs on the choruses (to match the 45)? Maybe on a import CD?]]> Sat, 12 Aug 2023 07:51:30 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7931&PID=63464&title=neil-sedaka-lets-go-steady-again#63464 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7931&PID=47808&title=neil-sedaka-lets-go-steady-again#47808 Author: davidclark

good catch, Yah Shure.

I am willing to bet that the undubbed, longer version first appeared in the CD
era, when CD compilers began to back to the original tapes. Probably first
appeared on "All Time Greatest Hits" (1988).]]> Tue, 01 Aug 2017 21:24:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7931&PID=47808&title=neil-sedaka-lets-go-steady-again#47808 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7931&PID=47804&title=neil-sedaka-lets-go-steady-again#47804 Author: Yah Shure

"Let's Go Steady Again" also appeared on Original Hits, an even earlier (1975) compilation from RCA Special Products:

https://www.discogs.com/Neil-Sedaka-Original-Hits/master/113 9545

I bought a cutout copy for 99¢ in the late '70s of this 1977 RCA compilation, Sedaka: The '50s & '60s:

https://www.discogs.com/Neil-Sedaka-Sedaka-The-50s-60s/relea se/8037854

As the small print in the bottom left corner on the back indicates, the entire LP is rechanneled, albeit very mildly so on "Let's Go Steady Again," which does have the hand claps during the choruses. The LP label states a time of (2:26); actual is (2:24.7).

Pat,

That's the question! From Discogs research, seems the first LP I have come
across that contains the song is a 1976 RCA release "Let's Go Steady Again"

https://www.discogs.com/Neil-Sedaka-Lets-Go-Steady-Again/mas
ter/409158

If it indeed took this long to appear on an LP, no wonder the 45 became "lost".

does this mean that the stereo version is an LP version? or a CD-era screw-
up?]]> Mon, 31 Jul 2017 21:55:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7931&PID=47797&title=neil-sedaka-lets-go-steady-again#47797
