Dickey Lee-"I Saw Linda Yesterday"

Following up on this post, the new "Hard To Find" CD has this song running
2:00. The HitsArchive guy on YouTube, who is pretty reliable for getting 45s
correct, has his fade at 1:59.

Digging further, I found this (if you can bear a listen to it, it runs a bit slower
- could be a fault of the turntable - however there IS more audio at the end
than the common versions and it has a long, drawn-out fade, just like Jim
stated).

So, seems there were two pressings of this 45? Or, like Jim mentioned, at
some point the 45 was faded early, and we've been subject to that ever
since. Anyone have a 45 to check?

I have the Smash 'Timepieces' reissue 872-846-2 with 'Patches' on the other side, and even though the label time says 2:06, It times in at 2:01. The label says MONO, but in reality, it's slightly re-channeled with echo. The 'Timepieces' that were released in the mid to late 80's by Polygram were mostly really interesting, but this one was disappointing. I think Polygram went to the album masters in this case rather than look for a mono single, they pulled this one out of the vaults. -Bill.

That's interesting. I have the "All Time Smash Hits"
reissue 45 that was in print in the late 1970s/early
1980s (S-1406) and it's mono and runs 2:05.

I've uploaded it to Youtube (it's not in great shape)

My Youtube channel has lots of mid and low charting
Canadian songs, if anyone's interested:

figured out how to properly post a link.)
