my commercial 45 for the chubby checker song 'popeye (the
hitchhiker)' issued as the B-side of parkway 849 lists the run time on the label as 2:29 but actually runs 2:26....and is identical to the version on the cameo best of cd, except you'll need to pitch that 2:23 running version down to run 2:26...this 45 info s/b added to the db... |

Ed, my 1962 stock copy of Parkway 849 also has the same actual time for
"Popeye" (2:26) as your report above, but my copy's listed time for that side is (2:25), not (2:29). And although the #10 BB peak for the "Popeye" side was eclipsed by the #2 BB peak for the flip side, Limbo Rock, my stock 45 label has "Popeye" as P849-A (with typewriter deadwax of "P-849-A3"), with the "Limbo Rock" side label stating P849-B, with typewriter deadwax of "P-849-B2"). My stock 45 copy apparently came from an earlier pressing run than yours did. Because early on, it looks like Parkway intended for "Popeye" to be the A-side. Over the years, I've been surprised at just how many times the labels themselves had misread which side of the 45 the "hit" would emerge from. Edited by jimct |
