Been To Canaan by Carole King

Jim asked me to look into possible 45 vs LP differences for the song "Been To Canaan" by Carole King. I believe I hear strings in the background of the 45 from :41 to :47 that I do not hear on the LP but I would like to get other opinions on this before I claim a 45 version exists for this song. Thoughts?

I finally had a chance to do an A/B comparison between the vinyl 45 of "Been to Canaan" that Pat shot out to me and Carole King's Her Greatest Hits CD (Ode/Epic/Legacy 65846). No question, I clearly hear the strings Pat is alluding to from :41 to :47 on the 45. I believe the strings are on the CD too, but they're buried way in the background to the point where they're practically inaudible. I tend to agree with Paul that the CD should warrant an "LP mix" comment.

Yes

Ordered the stock 45 tonight. Will be anxious to hear the difference from :41-:47.

well.....i consider my ears to be pretty
good.....BUT....i just listened to the remastered
greatest hits cd versus the vinyl 45 and they sound
exactly the same to me during the alleged 0:41-0:47
period of the song that is supposed to be
different........so i'm going to have to dissent and
voice my disapproval of the 'lp mix' notation in the
db.....i know it's just one man's opinion, except for
todd's apprehension, but to me they are the same
version....i have mentioned this before......with
headphones on and when comparing a mono mix versus a
stereo mix, the song WILL sound different and it's
possible that some components of the song might sound as
if they are not there....but, i believe it's because of
the method of sound delivery; ie;stereo v mono, that is
throwing people off....if the 45 was in stereo, it would
sound more like the cd version.....so, in
conclusion.....to me, this is one of those instances...
