Top 40 hit 45s from 1975 in mono?

Todd, I know of three others, off the top of my head. I recently noticed that my 1975 stock 45 for John Fogerty's "Rockin' All Over The World" (Asylum 45274) was issued in mono as well. Also, there were two Bell 45s released in late 1974 but reached their Top 40 peak in early 1975 that should be included as well, Barry Manilow's "Mandy", and Tony Orlando & Dawn's "Look In My Eyes Pretty Woman".

Steve, yes, the "Let There Be Music" 1975 commercial 45 was also released in mono (always thought it was a different mix than the stereo, but need to confirm), but I didn't bring it up earlier because the song peaked at only #55 on BB, wasn't a Top 40 hit, and therefore doesn't appear in Pat's database. My promo 45 of "Emotion" (like the Fogerty) was also mono/stereo, making the decision to issue both those commercial 45s in mono even more puzzling/curious. Especially since both the Capitol and Elektra/Asylum labels had already been regularly releasing all their commercial 45s in stereo for some time, by 1975. If I recall correctly, the last mono E/A commercial Top 40 release was Carly Simon's early 1973 hit, "The Right Thing To Do".
