sly family stone everyday people

my commercial 45 for the sly & family stone song 'everyday
people' issued as epic 10407 states the run time on the
label as 2:18 and does indeed run that length.....you'll
need to pitch up the 2:20 'anthology' cd version by 0:02 to
match the vinyl 45.....this info s/b added to the db....

Doug, are you referring to the little muted burping sound (at about 1:42.36) during the first "sha" of the "ooooo-sha-shaaaa" during the horn blast? That sounds like something that might be an anomaly with one of the instruments, perhaps, but to my ears, it isn't what I'd call a "pretty significant popping sound." This sound is more apparent on the Epic 10407 45 than it is on the vinyl Greatest Hits LP track.

What is "minty" vinyl? Is that one of those new vinyl connoisseur terms? Guess I'd better get with rest of the crowd, then. My 45 wasn't minty, lemony or any other flavor when I taste tested it. There was no bouquet to speak of, although there did appear to be hints of carbon black and styrene as I swished it back and forth. Distinct nuances of paper and ink were detected during the picture sleeve sniff test. Yes, definitely a top 1969 vintage. ;)

I think it means "near mint."

Too funny! LOL!
