Track listing is now out:
1971 -11B I see a number of stereo promo versions mentioned. Any difference between those and the commercial 45 versions? |

The Messengers' #62 hit "That's The Way A Woman Is" has differences between the mono and stereo sides of the Rare Earth promo 45. Commercial 45s were mono.
The stereo side runs at a faster pitch (1:55 vs. the 1:58 mono) and has a wetter lead vocal, panned both hard left and hard right. The mono vocals are drier and more upfront, and the lead singer takes a noticeable breath before his first line. Most of that breath is missing on the stereo side. |

Thanks for the heads-up on that, John. Didn't know it would be seeing the light of day quite this soon after 11A's release in Nov., but I'll take it, and I have just pre-ordered it. The website says the release date is 1/20. Also, it's good to see that the Hip-O Select website is back on the beam, after being totally "MIA" regarding the release/existance of a Vol. 11A in the series! Pat, as usual, I will provide you with "guest reviewer" details for the songs that appear on Vol. 11B that are currently in your database.

"Touch" by the Supremes (stereo promo)was unique to the prmoo, it doesn't match the stereo LP version in vocal placement and the piano is hotter on the intro. I don't think a fold down to mono gets you the exact mono mix but it's close.
"Hey Big Brother" by Rare Earth is interesting because only the long stereo promo version has made it to CD. The mono single which has a different introduction makes it's first appearance here. |

Granted, it's still not at retail (or iTunes), but for anyone who does have it, is the proper 45 version of the Four Tops' "MacArthur Park (Part 2)" on there, or is it wrong?
And Brian, anything further on your quest to get ahold of Weinger regarding "Mama's Pearl?" |

Guys, Hip-O Select, for some unknown reason, decided to use Fedex this time to ship Vol. 11B out to my PO Box last Friday, which they can't legally deliver to. That had never happened to me before from Hip-O Select. So, after the usual Fedex postcard to "please call our customer service so we can get an address" shenanigans, I've finally been told I'll get it on Monday. But my suspicion is that other folks, who've experienced less drama that I have here, may well have gotten it back on Monday. I'll provide details to both the Board, and a "guest review" for Pat, whenever it finally gets to me. :(

Not till the other day, when I sent him two additional emails asking him, one, if he knew the status of any repressing, and, two, if he was aware that, according to Waldo, "She's Good" is also incorrect. I also mentioned "ABC." He did finally respond on 1/26 and apologized for the delay in getting back to me, and thanked me for sending him the error list. It was the first he'd heard about "ABC" being the wrong version. Then he promised he'd get back to me about the repress. Hopefully I'll hear something more definitive from him soon. (I also recommended he check out this site.) Edited by Brian W. |

I read on the Steve Hoffman board that what happened is Hip-O changed fulfillment centers, and their new fulfillment center uses Fed-Ex. Hip-O doesn't actually do the packaging and shipping themselves... they farm the work out to another company. (Just be thankful it wasn't shipped from India.) Edited by Brian W. |
