Swingin’ Medallions - Double Shot (Of My

My commercial 45 (confirmed as Smash 2033, is styrene, with machine-stamped deadwax info of "YW 37924 2") has both a listed & actual time of (2:13). And Paul, like yours, my 45 copy also includes the "worst hangover" lyric. I only post this timing info because the many current database CDs that include this song feature run times that range from (2:10) to (2:19).

Since Paul C's db quote for this song almost 10 years ago, the first part of
it ("both the 45") has been deleted, and the db now only says "some
album pressings changed the lyric to "worst morning after".

Well I have just acquired a promo 45 (with 4/66 written in pen, on both
sides) for the song that includes the "worst morning after" lyric on both
sides of it. What made this one especially difficult for me to obtain is that
there is no mention of Smash 2033 anywhere on it. (And while I don't
currently own a Smash 2033 promo 45 (and I'm still searching), I suspect
it will include the "worst hangover" lyric on it.)      

I knew that the MercurySmash/Fontana group used non-standard promo
45 number/letter combos much more often than most other major labels
between 1965-69, often relegating the primary stock 45 # to small-type,
non-bold characters in parens in such cases.

The two unique identifiers for this rare promo 45 are the "stock #" of
"DJS-11" and the statement just above it, "NEW VERSION". Both sides have
identical, machine-stamped deadwax info of "YW 38029 2".

Both sides of my DJS-11 promo 45 have a listed time of (2:13) and an
actual time of (2:11). Personally, I can neither confirm nor deny that there
is an album that includes this "alternate lyrics" version on it, but Pat
doesn't usually include such db notes without supporting info, so I
assume that is the case here as well. FYI, there are currently no db CDs
that feature this alternate lyric version.

Same here.

Do any of the cds that contain a stereo mix
for this song have the 3-track album mix?
Where did the 2-track mix originate? Would
love to get crapfromthepast to investigate
this one...
