Unsure of what CD it came off of, might have been an import.

Based on PopArchivist's earlier post, I can add the following info
for the sources I've used for my collection for 1960.

The majority of the CD sources are public domain collections
from Europe (or UK) so the quality can vary. That Elvis "Mono
Masters" is a multi-disc bootleg set in exceptional quality.

If this is useful, I'll ask for editing access to the excel file and can
add this plus more for the other years.

I have these discs (or files from the discs & would definitely re-
confirm the mono content before adding to the file.

Floyd Cramer/Last Date. Fold down the Stereo CD, as this
was engineered by Bill Porter (who balanced his mixes to
fold down) And that is what your Mono 45 will be.

Same thing for Jim Reeves/He'll Have To Go applies.

Update:

For those curious, it has been tedious but I focused first on assembling the top 10 from 1955-1960 completely in mono from CD source only. If anyone on the board specifically knows an import or possible source for the mono on CD for what I am missing.

1958

Jimmie Rodgers - Are You Really Mine (2:24)- Every version available for download is not the actual 45 running time. I tracked down a foreign import that is arriving Monday that appears to match the time. If that fails, a 45 in mint will have to be obtained.

Connie Francis - Frankie (1959) 2:30 - Every version available on CD or for download is there Stereo. There appears no known CD mono source for this song available, even as an import. A 45 in mint most likely will have to be obtained.

Floyd Cramer - Last Date (1960) 2:25- Every version available on CD is in stereo.

Jim Reeves - He'll Have To Go (1960) 2:18- Every version available on CD is in stereo.

Sam Cooke - Chain Gang (1960) 2:35 - Trouble locating the Complete Singles. Is this it? That's the one the mono list says has the 45 in mono.

https://www.discogs.com/Sam-Cooke-The-Complete-Singles-1956- 1962/release/9224467

If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to present them. I still have to go through chart positions 61-94 for the 1960 top 10 but this is where I stand right now.

I can assure you by the end of the year the 1960-1964 period will be a lot more filled in then it is now. Just like all of you, been busy. But I also added a new wrinkle by putting the stereo in the same folder where the version is available.

While stereo did not exist then, to ignore it is no better then ignoring edited versions of songs or clean radio edits which are drastically changed from the dirty version. Plus it is quite interesting to hear what sounds better in mono vs what is out in stereo.]]> Fri, 21 Sep 2018 08:19:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8952&PID=50095&title=finding-mono-on-cd#50095 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8952&PID=50094&title=finding-mono-on-cd#50094 Author: Ringmaster_D

I've been meaning to contribute a lot to it, since I
have a ton of '60s mono I've found on import CDs over
the years, but I'm just so busy lately. I'll try to sit
down and add a bunch of updates soon.]]> Fri, 21 Sep 2018 05:42:40 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8952&PID=50093&title=finding-mono-on-cd#50093 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8952&PID=50092&title=finding-mono-on-cd#50092 Author: aaronk

If its an official released version, I still keep the mono but label the stereo what it is.
