Higher and Higher - Jackie Wilson

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

   I just noticed something very interesting about "Higher and Higher" by Jackie Wilson.  I have this on 3 different CD's... Very Best Of Jackie Wilson (Rhino), Time Life: Classic Rock 1967 and The Brunswick Years, Vol. 1.

On all of these CD's Jackie is singing coming out of the instrumental break at around the 1:53 mark in the song.....  However, this is not the case on the original 45.  See below you tube link for the original 45 version.

Has anyone else noticed this?

	Is this a mono vs. stereo situation? The reason that I ask is because according to the database, the Time Life Classic Rock appearance of "Higher and Higher" is mono and that too has the vocal coming out of the instrumental break?

	You mean where he sings "ooooh ooh ooh ooh" at the tail end of the instrumental break, Fetta, right before he launches into "I'm so glad"? Edited by Brian W.

	yes, that's the spot, Brian. assuming that YouTube video captures the sound from an original 45 then we indeed have yet another mono 45 mix to track down. Edited by davidclark

	Well, Pat now lists one "45 version" for this song, though he lists it as "E" instead of "M." But sometimes "E" just means mono that's not dead-center.

	The 45 in the video is a gold label reissue on Brunswick however I believe it used the original mono mix (I no longer have my gold label reissue to compare to my promo 45).
	Live in stereo.

	Database still shows no mono 45 versions on CD. Has anybody found it on an import CD?

	I do not know of a mono version on CD anywhere. And the mono version on 45 RPM single is not easy to find.
	I turn up the good and turn down the bad!

	Dance Sixties (JCI) is what I use, and I play the song regularly at weddings. I was able to get a nice sounding mono version by using the electronically channeled stereo version on that CD.
