See See Rider - LaVern Baker

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I recently downloaded the stereo version of LaVern Baker's 'See See Rider' from iTunes, and it is missing the background vocals in the instrumental break that appear on the re-issue 45 I have. I don't know which is the 45 version.

	Thanks for your question Paul because when I did some research on this topic, I discovered that the stereo LP version is not the same as the mono 45 version as it is a different vocal take and has different overdubs. If anyone has the mono LP version please let us know if the mono and stereo LP versions are the same or does the mono LP include the 45 version? To answer your question though, the mono version on cd like the JCI 3552 "Best Of" include the background vocals during the instrumental break and is the 45 version. So it looks like the reissue 45 is also the original 45.

	The 45 version has the background singers on the sax break. The Atlantic Oldies Series 45 has identical content to the original Atlantic issue 45 (I own both pressings). The Stereo was likely mixed later and the wrong tapes pulled for that remix session. Atlantic was well known for doing that.
	I turn up the good and turn down the bad!
