Brian, in this case, the "2493" indicates mono, and the "2493S" indicates stereo.
The letter after the dash following that number represents the pressing plant ("P" for Columbia Pitman, "T" for Columbia Terre Haute and "M" for Monarch. |

Ah, I see. That explains why the stereo B-side, "Road Ode," is A&M 2494S-M4. Thanks. It's great to have such knowledgable people on this board. |

So am I understanding correctly then that commercial 45 pressings of The Carpenters' "Yesterday Once More" were issued in both mono and stereo? If so, I'll make sure I update this in the List of Mono and Stereo 45s - 1973 thread.

This is interesting given that all other Carpenters Top 40 singles dating back to 1970 have been documented in the mono/stereo threads as being in stereo only. So I wonder if anyone else has run across commercial 45 pressings of other Carpenters hits in mono?

Well, it does SAY stereo on the label. It was probably inadvertant. If I recall correctly, their "Merry Christmas Darling" commercial single used the CSG stereo process that we discussed briefly in the "Calling Occupants" thread. |

Does the mono 45 pressing sound like a dedicated mix or a fold-down
of the stereo 45? Since most singles were being issued in stereo by 1973, I'm thinking this is probably a fold-down. |

The mono is a fold down. The Stereo mix was on the
commercial stock 45. There might have been a promo mono side stamper which got used for a pressing run of stock 45 singles. |
