Ok,
I couldn't find a thread on this one specifically... does anyone know if the 45 version is merely an edit of the Mercury LP version? Paul C also mentioned a version that appears on the Ace CD "Golden Age Of American R&R: Novelty Edition" that seems to have alternate lyrics for the UK market. I wondered if anyone ever confirmed it was the UK 45 version.... but i'm gathering it is definitely NOT the U.S. 45 version? Thanks in advance for any info MM |

The U.S. 45 is an edit of the full length version, but as I do not have the album, I can't comment on whether or not the full length version is on the LP. I think the 45 also has additional reverb not on the stereo mix.
I can confirm that the version on Golden Age Of American R&R: Novelty Edition is the UK 45 version as issued on Mercury 45 AMT 1184. |

FYI: the US 45 edit has finally been released on CD (and in
stereo) on Hard To Find Jukebox Classics 1963: Rock, Rhythm & Pop (on the Hit Parade label). |
