The version on this compilation has no "ooooooh" towards the tail end of the instrumental break, before Jackie launches into "I'm so glad...". I presume it's the 45 version.

Clever thinking Aaron! It sounds great. |

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

Hmmm, I'm still scratching my head, trying to understand what that means. |

<Dave> Someone please tell I-Heart Radio that St. Louis is not known as The Loo!

I think Aaron meant that summing the Left and Right channels of the re-channeled stereo mix found on JCI's Dance Sixties CD will result in the mono mix. |

It doesn't. For the mono 45, you need a Brunswick mono 45,
which sounds so much better. I own that 45. |

I turn up the good and turn down the bad!

I might not have summed the channels 50/50, but I was able to extract a nice sounding mono version using that CD.

If something is fake stereo (created back in the day, not the more recent DES), it usually is just mono with a sort of "spread" to it, and sometimes it's possible to create mono from this either by folding the channels, or using only one channel, or running it through software that separates out only the slight differences between the right and left channels and keeps everything that's the same. |

So, is it in fact "electronically
rechanneled" i.e. "fake" stereo, or simply the mono mix indifferently transferred/mastered in stereo i.e. with drift/imbalance between channels due to a fulltrack machine not being used, and just left as is, the engineer electing neither to sum/fold nor to pick one channel and discard the other? |

There's a slight EQ difference between the L/R channels, and it gets "swishy" when summed to mono, so something is slightly out of phase. I can say for sure I took one of the channels only when I created my mono version. This actually sounds more like an improper transfer of the tape on a stereo machine rather than something that has been intentionally doctored into fake stereo.
