Petula Clark-"Downtown"

Veteran Board super-sleuth Todd Ireland e-mailed me recently, inquiring about some original listed/actual 45 timings for database songs from 1965/66/67, and today I was able to address the list. The "Downtown" 45 was issued just as WB was transitioning from their red, "arrows" label to their mid-60's orange label, on which most commercial 45 copies appeared. Both are confirmed as WB 5494, and have listed times of (2:58). My red label copy has an actual time of (3:01), with handwritten deadwax of "GA14252-3". My orange label copy has an actual time of (3:02), with machine-stamped deadwax of "GA -14252-1H". FYI, current database timings for this song's original recording range from (3:01) to (3:08).

Fetta brought up the following in another thread:

"Something I just noticed with "Downtown" by Petula Clark.......

at the 2:03 mark in the song during the instrumental break when she sings "Downtown", she goes up an octave on all the appearances that I have on CD.   This did not occur on the original 45 version.   

So is this a stereo vs. mono issue since all but one (which I don't have) of the songs CD appearance are in Stereo? If so, would all of these versions be categorized as "Stereo LP version"...

Thoughts?"

Nice catch, Fetta. I'd be curious to know if the song's lone mono database CD appearance contains the correct 45 version, or if it's a fold-down of the LP version.
