Sam Cooke - Good Times

   Pat, you'll want to update the database for Sam's 1964 

#11 hit "Good Times" to say (stereo LP version).

David Clark alerted me awhile back to the 45 sounding 

very different.

I just got through comparing the 45 to the common stereo 

LP version.  The mono 45 differs in these ways:

1. the mono mix has an electric rhythm guitar that is 

missing from the stereo.

2. the mono has backing singers in the choruses, but the 

stereo only has Sam's vocal double-tracked. Near the end 

at the call-and-response "all night (all night)" the 

stereo has Sam doing the response but the mono has the 

backing singers instead. 

3. the mono has hand-claps throughout. 

I have no info on what was on the mono LP. 

Good catch, David!

MM

	I have the mono LP and it is the same version as what is found on the stereo LP.
