Five Man Electrical Band-"Signs"

I can add to Pat's 2006 response that I have the same info that he does plus these:

Commercial copy Lionel 3213 - label states (4:05) but actually runs (4:01) matrix number 70L1634-1. The label states "B side". This
was from the library of 1490 WCVA Culpeper VA which somebody sold to a retailer where I picked it up. The Program Director crossed off
the title of the A side, and marked the B side to play.

DJ Copy Lionel 3213 - Double "A" side, "Signs" in stereo on both sides. Same length on both. label states (3:20) but actually runs
(3:25) matrix number 70L1634-1. Which is odd because that's the same matrix of the original B side issue. The length matches one of
Pat's commercial copies. The printed label is incorrect, says 70-L-1638, which is the matrix for the B side. So that's another mistake.

Speaking of stereo, it's the same narrow stereo on all issues (and edits) with reverb shooting to the right channel on some
instruments, with some copies adding a lot more clipping than others. But I can't find a mono issue of this song anywhere on vinyl.
Does anyone have one? If there isn't one, what the Rhino mono issue may be is the left channel only, which is why some instruments are
"dry" verses the stereo issue. Unless there was a mono mix with the dry instruments that I've never found.
