first time stereo issue of some songs

Hi all,

Are we up for a challenge? I thought I would put this out to this board, as it
is here (and BSN) that I would likely get the most answers (some of my
previous posts on the topic have indeed been answered).

In my quest to feature the original 45 label (or picture sleeve) (those that
are the 45 version) and the original LP sleeve (for “LP versions”) for my
iTunes library files, I have actually tried to determine the first stereo LP
appearance for the latter, and not just use an LP with an “e” version. I
believe I have correctly ascertained most of them, using various online
sources such as BSN, Discogs, here, etc., but there are still a few that
elude me. I wonder if anyone here knows on what LP (or CD, if in the CD
era) the first (true) stereo appearance of the following are:

Please, if you are not sure about a source, please indicate so (I am hoping
for verified information, but conjecture is also ok as long as it is indicated
so). Note that my list contains several non-US-but-British hits and some
not-top 40 hits as well. Also, I am not looking for only the first US
appearance in stereo.

[edit] Please forgive the "&nb sp;" for I do not know where it is coming from
as it is not in my source file nor can I eliminate it when I edit the post!

To Yah Shure:

Did the Soma 1469 stereo reissue 45 of "Liar, Liar" come out before 'Oldies But Goodies Vol. 9'? That LP had the stereo version and I think came out in about 1973.

David,
I wish I still had info for some of those that first appeared on early 60's era V/A comps. A friend of mine owned just about all of them but sadly sold them years ago once the songs made it to CD. One example was "Diamonds And Pearls" .. it was a V/A from about 1962 and was also the first appearance of the guitar intro.

I can tell for sure that the following songs never appeared in stereo on vinyl, they were all mixed to stereo in the CD era. I included who created the mix (to the best of my knowledge):
"Melodie D'Amour" "Lazy Mary" (Ron Furmanek, Nipper CD) "Love Potion #9" (45 edit, unsure who made it)
"Nag" (Tom Moulton)
"Yeh Yeh" (Marty Wekser)
"Baby Blue" (Walter DeVenne)

I see two songs in your list that I don't recall hearing in stereo, can you tell me where these appear that way?
Montanas - "You Got To Be Loved"
Velvelettes - "He Was Really Sayin' Something"

It's in stereo on Dick Bartley's Collectors Essentials of
the 60s CD.

Ah, thanks Hykker! Of course I have that Varese Cd and forgot all about it.
Re: Yeh Yeh, I will check on that. To my knowledge the first stereo appearance was an early-2000's CD, and I read that Marty mixed it in the BSN forum.
