Connie Francis-"Follow The Boys"

"My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own" does not have a different vocal take. I sync's the 45 with the LP version.
The differences in the LP version are added instruments, and a different mix. The LP version added an extra guitar and woodwinds.
When they remixed it for the stereo they bounced the original vocal into a new track and as a result it sounds hollow and weird in the LP version, but same take.

Hmm, I don't know... according to the Bear Family
Connie Francis box:

"Several takes from these sessions are still extant.
The original MGM K 12923 single utilized Take 49
(recorded July 31, 1960) but two weeks into release
this was replaced by Take 37 (recorded July 25, 1960)
at the behest of Francis and the song's writers."

The Bear Family box does contain take 37, but the
sound quality is awful... it's super distorted. Not
sure if it's a disc dub or a faulty tape source.

The good news is that "Second Hand Love" and
"Together" are both on the Bear Family box in their
mono single mixes, in very good sound. "Follow the
Boys" does not appear at all.

This is my 45 of "My Heart..." Deadwax is 60-XY-125-1, MGM K12923. As I say it's a completely different version after the bridge. This was a dub I did many years ago and I think the declicking of the the time destroyed the pick bass sound in the arrangement, so before it's pointed out I know that there's (unfortunately) too much noise reduction here, I've just never taken time to do it again all these years later.

Yes, my 45s are boxed up but I can dig for it in a day or two just to remove any doubt - but it is a standard, black label early '60s US pressing - the matrix info in the dead wax is listed above, and it's the same catalog number as the "regular" version. My mother was a fan and this came out her senior year of HS so all I can figure it she must've bought it when it was brand new and got a different version that was replaced/pulled quickly. As I say I never never heard this take anywhere else (I don't have the BF box).
