   I didn't find an entry on this song, but there appears to be a single "version". 

The mono stock single, and the DJ mono side that I own, are both are different than the stereo mix. 

During the line "Don't Go Too Fast But I Go Pretty Far", there are no background vocals on the mono mix, while they are clearly there on the stereo mix. 

I've never seen a stereo "Neighborhood" stock copy on Brand New Key. But the song is in stereo with the background vocals on that section on the stereo DJ 

side, and Goldies 45 re-ussue by ABC Dunhill.

	I could only find one instance of this song in the forum, and this one here is it. So, (2022 now) I went to the database and looked for a 45 version and none were to be had in the list. All LP versions and all in stereo. I can't say I've really tried to look this one up either. I remember as a kid this was a song chock-full of innuendo, but I never really tried to figure any of it out. Seems kind-of tame today. It would be nice to find the mono version on CD that Bill talked about in the OP. I suppose I could stop in at Discogs and see if there is anything there.
