   I picked up a promotional copy of this 45 yesterday. Unfortunately, it IS stereo, and matches the stock single version in it's out of phase mix. It also contains the original B side of the single, rather than a mono mix of this song on the flip. 

Jim, I would love to hear your corrected stereo version.

	Live in stereo.

	Does anyone know if this song is directed at someone in particular (much as Bob Dylan's "Positively 4th St" was part of a war-of-songs with Richard Farina)? It sounds too angry to be just a generic put-down.

	No mono LP version extant at that time, the LP was Stereo only, even to Radio.
	I turn up the good and turn down the bad!

	I ordered a UK copy of the 45 a few days ago, as someone on the Hoffman site said that the UK 45 was mono. Will keep everyone posted.

	John, did you ever get your UK 45 in? (Even via "container ship", it should be here by now!) :) And was it in mono?

	There is one on ebay now... but paypal and my bank dont like me so i dont order from overseas sellers now.... but the matrix number on the label seems to match every other release of the tune ive seen worldwide (only some of the labels say stereo, it doesnt mean the others are mono though).
	Live in stereo.

	Jim, yes I did receive it. Turns out it was 'electronic' stereo (correct term, I believe). Though, when folded to mono, it doesn't seem as out of phase as what Tom reports with his.

	What I did for my AM radio station is folded down the Retrospect CD version to mono for the instrumental backing track, and then send everything to the left for the vocals, and then made a 2-track mono mix which does sound great for AM radio and it folded down to a single channel well doing this.

	A MINOR hit?? I thought this was a major one myself (I live in Southern Calif. ... maybe it was bigger there..?)
	You know you're really older when you think that younger singer Jesse McCartney's related in anyway to former Beatle Paul McCartney.

	Yeah, I'd say a song that peaked at #12 in Billboard and Cashbox isn't really minor, but YMMV.
