"When You’re Hot, You’re Hot"- Jerry Reed

The actual commercial 45 run time of Jerry Reed's "When You're Hot, You're Hot" is 2:17. (Timing info courtesy of Jim. The printed record label time is 2:18.) I'm reporting this because database CD times run from 2:13 to 2:18.

I discovered the updated Essential collection a couple of
years ago and now use the mono files from that collection
for the 2 big Top 40 hits in my library.

I've had two different promo 45s for this,
one pressed for pop radio (yellow label), one
pressed for country radio (green label), both
were definitely mono.

Probably played it from the LP (assuming one existed) or if the station was important enough maybe they got a
stereo dub from the label.

As has been discussed here many times before, the early 70s were a mixed bag for stereo 45s. While RCA was one
of the earlier adopters of stereo 45s they, like most other labels were hit or miss. There were mono promos
where the commercial singles were stereo (Nilsson's "Without You" is one), and I think all Elvis 45s prior to
"Burning Love" were mono.
