Question 67 & 69 (1969 version)

Pat has correctly noted in the databaase that the 1969 single on this song is a different mix. The 1971 version is merely an edit from stereo LP version and the mono a fold down from the stereo. In 1969 Question 67 and 68 was mixed with a lot of extra punch for AM radio.

But what I hadn't noticed until this weekend when I listened to it again, is that there is extra percussion (probably shakers) only in the 1969 single issue. It's during the instrumental break.

Just an FYI.

I believe that's the only place to find that mix. Even re-issue 45s contained the later, 1971 single edit which is just an edit of the album mix. Even the mono Columbia Hall of Fame re-issues were just a fold down of the stereo single version.

For years the Columbia Hall of Fame re-issue 45 would have on the label, Question 67 and 68 [English Version]. That was because whomever put the re-issue out took the label information from one of the promo 45s which had the "English" version on one side and the "Japanese" version on the B side. Which was live.

Chicago did do a live version of it in Japanese....but the promo single with the japanese version was only for the reserviced promo single, i believe, and not the original, and is a studio version with the original backing track, it is not the full lp length so i assume it is the length of the US edit version.

do any of you fine gentlemen collectors perhaps have available an mp3 of the 1969 single... it would be greatly appreciated!

ok, well it seems no one has a digital copy of this available, does anyone have the catalog number of the 1969 version, and what was the b-side??? was it the japanese version (live or not)??? was that just the promo??? i've seen a few original 45's available on e-bay, but with "i'm a man" on the flip, i assume this is the 1971 version...
