Johnny Cash- A Boy Named Sue

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

   So it seems that I have both stereo versions with the language and the other one bleeped. However, there seems to be no mono CD version of this particular song out on CD. Anyone know an import that possibly has it or somewhere they found it? If so, is it censored like the Stereo version?

	Both my mono stock and stereo promo 45s were censored.
	Live in stereo.

	Question: What was the first issue, commercial or promo, any format, of the unbleeped version? I don't recall hearing anything but bleeped versions back in the day. Andy

	Andrew, I believe the first issue of the unbleeped and unedited version was on the 2000 Columbia Legacy CD "At San Quentin (The Complete 1969 Concert)".

	The original tv program filmed at the prison was uncensored.
	Live in stereo.

	To Tom Diehl: So you think the TV program was the same take with the 'sonovabich' line aired on network TV? Andy

	I have it on DVD to check for reference, but who knows where it is... but I believe so. I do know some of the recordings on the album (though I don't know which) were sweetened up or mistakes fixed in the studio, so it could theoretically be different.
	Live in stereo.

	It is the same take. The USA single and LP are censored, so was the USA TV broadcast. Bleeped because it was not allowed to be broadcast in the USA, FCC rules are why. The original UK Granada Television broadcast of this concert was uncensored. The uncensored version made it's debut on the current Columbia/Legacy CD version.

	In the event anyone knows, is the mono 45 a dedicated mix or a fold down? On the 45, whiich I found on YouTube, it sounds like Johnny is drowning in reverb at the very beginning while there isn't as much on the CD I have. Probably my imagination but I thought I'd ask.

	It's a dedicated mono mix.
