Does anyone have the version of the top 40 hit "Did You Boogie (With Your Baby)" by Flash Cadillac WITHOUT Wolfman Jack BUT IN STEREO? And can you tell me the matrix info and anything else to identify this version? I know it exists on vinyl but it may be mislabeled in some way and I have not been able to find this particular 45 anywhere. Even Australian and UK 45s I've bought on ebay have not had this version.

Yes, EdLite

I have "Did You Boogie" SANS Wolfman Jack in STEREO on a digital dub (probly from clean vinyl).

I have NO IDEA where I got it from (I think from the old Napster days where virtually everything was on there for a brief moment).

It is a better mix than the Wolfman version.

I have that mp3, too, from the Napster days, from clean vinyl. I just can't figure out what vinyl source exactly it came from.

Wow, interesting!

Are you telling me that the USA promo 45s that you've come across are mono only?

In terms of all the 45s I've ever seen (including about 40 on ebay), the commercial 45 has never had the non-Wolfman version at all. And the promo 45 has the Wolfman on one side and non-Wolfman version on the other, both clearly identified on the label and both in mono. But there must be a 3rd incarnation of the record (either here or as an import 45) because the napster mp3 (non-Wolfman in STEREO) comes from vinyl. But the Australian and Canadian Private Stock 45s I bought of this had the non-Wolfman version in mono, too.

Does anyone have any 45s of this song that differ from the ones I describe above?

Just a thought...

I wonder if maybe first pressings of the Flash Cadillac album 'Sons Of The Beaches' had a stereo version without the Wolfman?

As all of us here know, that happened once-in-awhile back in the Seventies. An album would get released without a single (or at least a hit single) because the band had a touring-based following. Radio stations would suggest a possible single, record companies would refashion the single for hopefully more commercial prospects. When the song became a hit, the refashioned version would be substituted on the LP--and a lot more of this pressing hit the stores.

Actually, your theory reminded me ...

The Flash Cadillac album "Sons of the Beaches" had TWO incarnations! The first one did not include "Did you Boogie" at all. After the song started taking off, they re-did the LP, adding one new song - "Did You Boogie" WITH Wolfman. I have never seen an LP without Wolfman on the song. And I've checked LPs for years. There are only these 2 versions, as far as I can tell.

Maybe a foreign LP has the mystery version.

Hi all, new poster here, although I've used Pat's books for years. I'm a former radio station music director/jock and worked briefly for a record distributor in the mid-'70s. If some of these old topics are bumped up (like this one) I'm the guilty party, but have info to add.

I have the STEREO "Did You Boogie" both with AND without Wolfman Jack. My promotions job for the record distributor (Heilicher Bros. in Minneapolis) was during the time that the single was current. I have three configurations of Private Stock 45079 with matrix numbers as follows:

1. Mono/mono promo copy:
PVT 1184-M... "Did You Boogie.." without Wolfman
PVT 1185-M... "Did You Boogie.." with Wolfman
Neither side's label makes any mention of whether or not Wolfman Jack is on the record; you have to play it to find out.
"Did You Boogie" publisher listed as Ashton Music

2. Stereo/stereo stock copy
PVT 1184... "Did You Boogie.." without Wolfman
PVT 1186... "Maybe It's All In My Mind"
"Did You Boogie" publisher listed as Ashton Music

3. Stereo/stereo stock copy
PVT 1185... "Did You Boogie.." with Wolfman
"WITH WOLFMAN JACK" printed in caps below matrix #
PVT 1186... "Maybe It's All In My Mind"
"Did You Boogie" publisher listed as Goblet Music

Bottom line: the STEREO, WITHOUT Wolfman stock 45 bears matrix # PVT 1184.

In addition, Private Stock issued a 12-inch promo LP, titled Sales Presentation (PSR 1-SP/PSR 2-SP) in a plain white cardboard jacket with a Private Stock logo sticker on the front cover. The last track on side two is listed on the label as "from the LP 'Sons Of The Beaches,'" but the track itself is the stereo version of "Did You Boogie.." *without* Wolfman Jack. Because there are eight cuts on side two of this LP, the audio level is much lower than on the second 45 configuration above, and turntable rumble is fairly evident.

It was while I was back in the warehouse checking stock on the "Beaches" album that I first noticed that there were two variations, one of which did not include "Did You Boogie." That led me over to the 45 department to check out stock copies, and that was where I found both the with and without Wolfman stereo stock copies.
