Tommy Roe-"It’s Now Winters Day"

My commercial 45, confirmed as ABC 10888, has a listed time of (3:25) and
an actual time of (3:27). I only post this only because the threee current
database CDs that feature this song (all stereo) run a bit shorter, at either
(3:21) or (3:22). My 45 is vinyl, with deadwax info of "13760 RE-1 1D".

Strictly out of curiosity, does anyone have a copy of the ABC 10888 45 that actually includes an apostrophe in the word "winters"? On both my Specialty and Plastic Products stock pressings, the title is listed as "It's Now Winters Day".

A nod to Jonathan Winters, perhaps? ;)

I'm guessing Tommy wasn't used to cold temperatures when he wrote this song. The "minus ten below" line stuck out like a frostbitten sore thumb the first time I heard it on the radio. That little meteorological double-negative actually turns it into a comparatively balmy ten above (hey, it's zero outside as I'm typing this.)

Jim, I was looking through another thread on a previous page after posting that, and when I hit the back arrow to return, I thought I was seeing things with the apostrophe having suddenly vanished from the thread title!

Well, I'm probably seeing things that aren't related to that, but... ;)
