Just heard this one on American Top 40 this weekend.
I still chokes me up.
It was number twenty on its way down, FYI.]]> Sun, 29 Aug 2010 09:49:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=903&PID=27606&title=tom-clay-what-the-world-abraham#27606 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=903&PID=27594&title=tom-clay-what-the-world-abraham#27594 Author: The Hits Man

A fold down wouldn't be too much of a surprise. Many of the late period Mono Motown singles were folds. ]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 11:08:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=903&PID=27579&title=tom-clay-what-the-world-abraham#27579 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=903&PID=27576&title=tom-clay-what-the-world-abraham#27576 Author: Brian W.

Crap! What is wrong with those morons at Hip-O Select? They sure dropped the ball on "Motown Singles 11A," didn't they? It is the single most effed-up volume in the entire series.

It's possible that the mono single was a fold-down, though... I've been told that "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" was, and I'm pretty sure that "Got To Be There" was, too.

Thanks, guys, for all your help on this.

Brian, sorry to point out another difference between the contents of the Complete Motown Singles CD series and the original commercial 45, but I have just checked my 1971 stock 45 for you, and it was indeed issued in mono. Kent and I must've both been checking this at the exact same instant, as his latest reply beat mine by just 2 minutes.

My Stock single is Mono. Some pressings may have been Stereo. Wonder if Motown reused a Stereo promo stamper when they needed a fresh stamper? Some labels which were normally mono but occasionally a run was made with Stereo promo stampers for that side. I have access to many more copies of this single which are stock cheaply. I'll buy one of each variation I see and post results. ]]> Thu, 26 Aug 2010 19:08:09 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=903&PID=27573&title=tom-clay-what-the-world-abraham#27573 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=903&PID=27571&title=tom-clay-what-the-world-abraham#27571 Author: Brian W.

Are you going by a copy you own that you've listened to, Kent, or just general wisdom? The reason I ask is because this is stereo on "The Complete Motown Singles," which is supposed to use the exact commercial 45 versions for everything.]]> Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:46:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=903&PID=27571&title=tom-clay-what-the-world-abraham#27571 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=903&PID=27553&title=tom-clay-what-the-world-abraham#27553 Author: KentT
