Commercial 45 copies of Climax's "Precious and Few" are in mono and have an actual run time of 2:44. (Thanks once again to Jim for supplying the timing info. The printed label time is 2:43.) I only pass this along because the song's database CD appearances run from 2:41-2:46.

Also, there seems to be a slight mix difference in the mono
single mix. |

Can you please elaborate a little more on the specific difference you're hearing between the stereo mix and the 2:44 mono 45 mix? |

The string and horns are lower in volume. It's small
things like that that make a difference in the overall sound and feel of a song. |

And there is an early reissue 45 of this track on Flashback. It uses the old mono Carousel stamper.

The Stereo Flashback was likely a bit later pressing than my mono one. Might have used an original Promo Stereo side stamper. Thanks for letting us know about this version. It might be the last one before the masters changed hands. Dominion Music now owns the master to this classic.

Do you happen to know the matrix number of the mono Flashback 45? I was browsing gemm.com and there are couple of different Flashback 45s listed (assuming that one is the mono version and the other is stereo). |

My promo copy is mono/mono. I would be interested to know if a mono/stereo promo exists. |

Live in stereo.

My Flashback mono 45 (FLB 69) has an inner ring number of Bell-9987-1-1.
