 Topic: Osmonds 45sPosted: 07 April 2008 at 4:11pm |
|
I'm trying to line up all the 45 versions that I need from the Osmond family,
and I am lacking original 45s. Upon looking at the photos of 45s on eBay, I don't see where any of them are marked as being in stereo. Are any of the Osmonds, Donny & Marie, Donny or Marie's original 45s from 1970- 1976 in stereo, or are they all mono? |

Paul, Here's what I have. Bold type indicates that either "stereo" or "mono" is printed on the label. These are all MGM promo copies, save for one stock copy:
14193 "One Bad Apple" - stereo/stereo 14227 "Sweet And Innocent" (Donnie) - mono/mono 14295 "Yo-Yo" - mono 14324 "Down By The Lazy River - mono 14424 "Why" / "Lonely Boy" [stock copy] (Donny) - stereo/stereo 14562 "Goin' Home" - mono 14735 "I'm Leaving It [All] Up To You (D&M) - mono/mono 14746 "Love Me For A Reason" - mono/mono 14765 "Morning Side Of The Mountain" (D&M) - stereo/mono (see note below) 14791 "The Proud One" - stereo/mono 14807 "Make The World Go Away" (D&M) - stereo/mono Note: Although the stereo side of "Morning Side Of The Mountain" is designated "stereo" on the label and has "STEREO" etched in the dead wax, it plays mono.

I think the vinyl LP version of "Sweet and Innocent" is stereo. The file I have of it originally came from the LP source.

John, I just have just pulled out and listened to the original LP that "Sweet And Innocent" appeared on back in 1971, "The Donny Osmond Album" (SE-4782). Despite stating prominently on the LP label, "STEREO", the "Sweet And Innocent" track appears in mono, with a listed time of (2:49), but an actual time of (3:01). FYI, the other nine tracks on this LP are, in fact, stereo. Personally, I have always felt it to be very risky policy to attempt to try to speculate as to what the original source of an "acquired" music file might have actually been.

I believe what happened was the Sweet and Innocent was a stereo track on the OSMONDS LP, but when it was decided to give Donny his own 45 and album, MGM remixed the track with different instruments to mono for the Donny 45 and didn't bother making it stereo for the Donny album. So the song is in stereo on the Osmonds LP but it's a different treatment.

Bill is correct. The source of my file is The Osmonds (MGM SE4724)

Here are 3 more: (all promos...even back then I wasn't about to actually BUY an Osmonds record)
14259: Double Lovin' (mono) 14285: Go Away Little Girl--Donny (label says stereo, but it's mono) 14322: I Knew You When--Donny (mono) Also, my copy of "One Bad Apple" has OBA on both sides in stereo, but has the blue & gold stock label, not the yellow promo one. |

I'm pretty sure my copy of "Deep Purple" (14840) was in stereo. Wasn't that their final release on MGM? |
