List of mono and Stereo 45s - 1975

Did T.K. Records ever issue a dedicated promo 45 for "I Get Lifted"? I received a double-A sided DJ 45 for "I Can't Leave You Alone," but when the label flipped the single in favor of the B-side, I was sent a stock copy with a purple "PLUG SIDE" stamp inside a purple ring on the "Lifted" side.

"I Get Lifted" is listed as stereo on my copy, too.

Never mind. :) I answered my own question by reacquainting myself with a record I'd forgotten I had. There was, indeed, a dedicated, double-B-sided promo 45 for "I Get Lifted", shown here next to its double-A-sided promo predecessor, "I Can't Leave You Alone".

Both sides of the "stereo" "I Get Lifted" DJ 45 play mono. Perhaps T.K. meant that having the same mono recording on both sides of the record somehow made the sum total stereo. ;)

This is a UK release on Big Break Records (part of the Cherry Red label). Anyone have any of the previous Big Break releases? Any recommendations or should I avoid this one?

Thanks Brian.

I have a copy, yes it is in stereo. I believe that's the only place to find the 45 version in stereo...on her Capitol GH CD it was mono.
