Jan & Dean - "I Found A Girl"

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   My commercial 45, confirmed as Liberty 55833, with deadwax info of "LB 

2138  4", has both a listed and actual time of (2:20). I only post this info 

because the six current db CDs that include the original recording of this 

song runs (2:19), in its only mono db appearance. The five stereo lengths are 

(2:23), (2:30), (2:31), and two at (2:37). At the very least, a longer stereo LP 

version appears to exist as well here. And based on timings alone, three 

others could well be "neither" versions.

	For some reason the stereo LP version of this song on the LP Folk N Roll was mixed differently than the 45. Compared to the 45, the stereo LP version is missing vocals on the line "but things are different now". On the single the word "now" continues longer and goes up a note before the "cause I Found A Girl". On the stereo LP version the word "now" simply ends before the shift up. like it was potted down to eliminate it. Also, on the second "cause I found a girl" near the end of the song, on the 45 you simply hear "cause I found a girl" but the stereo LP version clearly says "BE-CAUSE I found a girl". I don't have a mono Folk N Roll LP to compare. So there was a 45 version and a Stereo LP version. The Stereo LP version is on the One Way label's Folk N Roll/Surf City CD. There are also two different stereo remixes, Legendary Masters and All The Hits. Both are close to way the 45 sounds, containing all the vocals heard on the 45, but the second "cause I found a girl" has a little of the "be-cause" mixed in which wasn't audible on the single, only the word "cause" is heard on the single that second time. So I'd say that "Folk N Roll" is the stereo LP version, "Complete Liberty Singles" is the 45 version (and possibly mono LP version but I don't know), and Legendary Maters/All The Hits, and possibly other CD releases are "remixed 45 version, runs XX seconds longer than 45". I don't have all the CDs to compare, just Folk N Roll, Legendary Masters and All the Hits.
