	Pat, You may want to examine this for an LP / 45 version difference. In the stereo LP, if you listen for when the vocals come in at :12, you'll hear an organ present in the mix and stays that way for the whole song. But the mono mix has NO organ in the verses at all. It is only present during choruses in the background. And FWIW, my copy of the 45 (#44053) times out to 2:28. And for those curious, the 45 mono mix does appear on one CD in the database.

	This sounds rare. I can only remember the version with the organ present. I don't think I have a 45 of it, but any version I ever heard had the organ. They're originally from the Chicago area. I was watching some Chicago local band special on youtube a few months back. Neat documentary stuff!

	I have 2 copies of the stock mono 45 and, as Mark mentioned, neither of them have the organ playing the higher octave chorded whole notes on the verses (the mono mix only has the electric piano chorded whole notes during the verse).

	Just did a listening session comparing the stereo and mono versions of Don't You Care. Once someone like Mark points out the difference I can hear it real easy. For the other 54 years I never noticed the keyboard differences. Thanks for this tidbit. Keeps me reading this board.
