Hard To Find 45s On CD, Vol. 17

I deleted that high resolution picture from the original post (boy was that huge). For some reason I can't get a small version of the cover to work, so perhaps Mark can add that one when time permits.

Cool.

You're right, it did sound horrible on the air in mono
(bad enough in stereo). The promo at the
station I did weekends at in '69 got damaged & they
replaced it with a traded out stock copy. ISTR we
dropped the song the next week 'cuz it sounded so bad.
What ever possessed the label to remix the song so
badly?

Sorry, "Reflections" is the commercial (4:16) version.
Had I thought of it, i'd have asked Bill to request the
DJ edit instead. We were happy to get the song at all,
Sometimes those British hits it can be tough to even get
permission at all.

Sorry, Tom about the short "Indiana Wants Me." Our poll
audience voted more for the short version - which was
good for us because Universal has no (real) stereo for
the full session or long edit. Just the masters you've
heard. I think R. Dean kept most of his original tapes,
if he even saved them at all.
