There is more than one stereo mix of "Happy Together".
The original LP, a remix made in the 80s, and an
alternate remix that snuck out (perhaps by accident) on a
recent Manifesto Records vinyl reissue of the Happy
Together album. ]]> Thu, 13 Feb 2020 15:37:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=53490&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#53490 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=53456&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#53456 Author: TomDiehl1

I have two different stock copies of It Ain't Me Babe
on White Whale (one listed as WW 222, the other just as
222). Both have a listed time of 2:10.

WW 222 is a styrene pressing pressed at Columbia's
Terre Haute, Indiana (CTH) pressing plant. It runs
2:11.

The other is a vinyl pressing with a monarch stamp and
delta number 57574 in the deadwax. This pressing runs
slightly slower at 2:13. Putting the two side by side
digitally, they run out of sync almost immediately.
They both fade at the same spot in the song, so the
time difference is only the pitch, with the vinyl
pressing running slightly slower.

----

My promotional copy of Happy Together, White Whale WW
244, is a Monarch pressing, double A side copy, with
delta 64971 in the deadwax. It lists the time as 2:50
but runs 2:54. I do not have a CTH pressing to compare
it against. ]]> Sat, 08 Feb 2020 23:51:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=53456&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#53456 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=46145&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#46145 Author: The Hits Man

   Yes. Sorry.
I'll correct that error.]]> Sun, 28 Aug 2016 17:17:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=46145&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#46145 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=46139&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#46139 Author: PaulEschen

On my copy of Varese Vintage's "Then:Totally Oldies 4",
the stereo "Happy Together" runs an actual time of 2:52.
On the new mono "All The Singles", it runs and actual
time of 2:54.

Just thought i'd throw that out there.

Has anybody else bought the most recent Turtles CD release, All The
Singles (FloEdCo/Manifesto MFO 48040)? It sounds great, but the only
Turtles 45 I have to compare is "She'd Rather Be With Me", but it sounds the
same, with the shorter 2:08 time. I'd be interested to see how the other
pertinent singles match up.]]> Sat, 27 Aug 2016 03:51:55 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=46123&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#46123 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=11847&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#11847 Author: aaronk

Is this a song that deserves a "45 version" and "LP version" designation because of reverb? Given Jim's information, it would appear that the 45 runs slower than the mono version on Varese.]]> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 19:14:02 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=11847&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#11847 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=11844&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#11844 Author: Bill Cahill

On Happy Together I've noticed at on the mono hits lp that there is very little reverb on the song, at all, until the couple of piano notes after "invest a dime". Those piano notes are almost buried in reverb. So that's significantly different than the stereo mixes. I don't have the original 45 though to hear if that matches with the mono LP version. ]]> Sun, 07 Oct 2007 18:29:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=11844&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#11844 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=900&PID=11834&title=a-couple-of-turtles-comments#11834 Author: jimct

I had a chance to listen to both the original White Whale 45 copy of "Happy Together" and the version that shows up on CD in mono on Varese's Best Of compilation. While I cannot remember which one is the faster of the two, there is a significant pitch difference between the 45 and CD versions, even though it's the same mix. There is currently no notation in the database regarding this CD, but a pitch comment should probably be added.
