   I see that this great #20 charter only shows up on 3 

CD's domestically. Twice in stereo, and those two 

stereo copies have a 5 second difference in their 

times. 

Are these two stereo versions disc dubs? 

My stereo promotional 45, listed as A&M 841-S, has a 

listed time of (2:41) but an actual time of (2:42). My 

promo 45 has the finger snaps on the intro in the right 

channel, while the mp3 I have claiming to be off of 

More Nuggets (unfortunately I don't have this song on 

CD to verify) has the finger snap intro in mono, and 

that intro is a different mix than when I sum the intro 

of my promo 45 to mono... 

After the intro, when the song switches to full stereo, 

almost the entire rest of the song up until about the 

last 10 to 15 seconds stay 100% in sync with my stereo 

promo 45. Then at the very end it gets quite out of 

sync, and I'm not sure why that would have happened, if 

it was a disc dub. For a tape dub to stay completely in 

sync would be very strange, as well.

	Tom, I have the CD "More Nuggets" so I can verify that's where your MP3 came from. I can also tell you it's from tape, not vinyl. This CD was made in 1987. They had no inexpensive way to remove surface noise back then. There was "CEDAR" which was new, but very expensive and left an artifact that is easy to hear. Rhino never used it. I can also tell you the stereo mix I had on vinyl V/A comp back then had the same mono intro then turning to stereo, so I always assumed the original LP was mixed that way. Now I'm curious as to what was actually on the stereo LP. If it did start out with a stereo intro my only theory would be the stereo master intro may have been damaged at some point and this was the fix. As for the 45 and the CD to be in sync - I've had that happen but it is indeed very rare! MM
