Although they are very close, the mono mix does have some subtle
differences compared to a fold-down. I would say it is a dedicated mix. ]]> Fri, 27 Nov 2015 08:47:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8396&PID=44738&title=pacific-gas-electric-are-you-ready#44738 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8396&PID=44737&title=pacific-gas-electric-are-you-ready#44737 Author: Hykker

I read somewhere that the union rules at CBS were extremely
restrictive in those days, to the point where a mono issue
had to be a dedicated mix, not a folddown. Could that have
been the reason for the differences?

I got sidetracked on this but I finally had time to
listen to Jim's absolutely mint stereo DJ 45 dub. Bill is
exactly correct. The mono and stereo sides are different
edits, and the copy on the Dick Bartley CD is the actual
stereo DJ 45 master. They sync perfectly.
So the database can be updated the read "(this is the
stereo DJ 45 edit)."

I've got to say I'm rather surprised that in 1970 they
went to the extensive effort to make this edited version
twice. It's not like the mixes are that different. In

between them at all mix-wise, just different edits.

Thanks to Bill and Jim for helping sort this one out.

Mark, I have just shot you out a dub of the DJ 45 promo 45 copy I own for
Columbia 45158 that has the stereo short version on it. My other 1970 DJ
copy of the song included the stock 45 length on the stereo side, whereas
both promo copies include the song's short version on the mono side.]]> Mon, 02 Nov 2015 23:03:30 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8396&PID=44596&title=pacific-gas-electric-are-you-ready#44596 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8396&PID=44595&title=pacific-gas-electric-are-you-ready#44595 Author: MMathews

Bill,
Very good points. I too wondered if the stereo side was
indeed the edit that appears on the Bartley CD. I leaned
toward assuming that in 1970 they'd only want to do this
edit once and simply fold it down for the mono.

But I should know by now, with these details you can't
assume anything. So many DJ 45's have small differences
between the mono and stereo sides. And you've found good
evidence that is the case here.

I can make an easy final determination if I get a dub of
the vinyl stereo DJ side. It's the only version I lack.

FYI - I thought I found a reissue with the edit of "Are You
Ready," but it was mislabeled.

The label says 2:40 but the track runs 5:47 in stereo.
This is on the gray Columbia Hall of Fame label, so I'd
guess it's an '80s-era reprint. Columbia 13-33219, with
deadwax reading "ZSP 158300-12 G1." ]]> Sat, 31 Oct 2015 17:10:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8396&PID=44591&title=pacific-gas-electric-are-you-ready#44591 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8396&PID=44124&title=pacific-gas-electric-are-you-ready#44124 Author: Bill Cahill

I will leave it for another set of ears to make a final determination here, but like other Columbia DJ edits reviewed from this era, the mono and stereo side of the DJ 45 don't exactly match. Some of the edits are slightly tighter or looser when you synch up the mono and stereo version, as if it was edited twice, once for mono, and again for stereo. (instead of just summing the stereo edit to mono)Speed is pretty close on both sides, the fade is slightly different with the stereo side starting it's fade a little earlier and lasting longer. Both sides are gone at the same point.

There is one audio difference to my ears on the mono side verses the stereo side. During the first "Are You Ready To Sit By A Throne", there is a cymbal hit behind that phrase. On the mono side, that cymbal hit plays completely. On the stereo side, the cymbal hit is clipped very early, which sounds to me like the editor chose a different point.

I hear that same cymbal clip on the Collector's Essentials of the 70's".

So I believe that the Collector's Essentials CD matches the stereo DJ 45.

I was told at the time of the CD's issue that a clean stereo DJ 45 was used for that transfer, but that might not be the case.

Side note: The Canadian stock 45 that I have is labeled Stereo with a label time of 2:40. In reality, it is the mono DJ edit run through a bass/treble simulated stereo process, and it slows down then speeds up in various places, so it doesn't synch up well with either the DJ stereo or mono sides.

So we need to call in a judge on this one..
