Please Don’t Talk To The Lifeguard

   Diane Ray...

A friend of mine just sent me a mono version of this track with a double-

tracked lead vocal.  He's sure it is the 45, whereas the stereo version is 

single-tracked.

I have a dub if anyone wants to listen, but it looks like another 45 version 

has been uncovered and a database update needed. I searched for anything 

on this track, but came up empty.

	Great catch, David! The big tip-off comes as Diane sings "Man, oh, man!": She doesn't sing those three words exactly alike between the double-tracked vocals on the 45. No such problem on the stereo mix. The stereo mix really bugged me the first time I heard it. Poor little Diane was so distracted by her lifeguard fixation that she failed to notice she was drowning in the reverb chamber. The stereo mix sounds all wet - literally and figuratively - when folded down or broadcast on AM. The mono mix on the 45 is less wet and much punchier. If you can find a clean copy, go for the vinyl green-label DJ 45 over the styrene black-label stock. Edited by Yah Shure

	We need to find out which version is included on the mono LP of Diane's "The Exciting Years". Anybody have a copy that can step up with this information?
