Nutty Squirrels-"Uh! Oh! Part 2"

My 1959 commercial 45 of this novelty hit (confirmed as Hanover 4540, is vinyl, with deadwax of "MAH- 10611-5") has a listed time of (2:19), but an actual time of (2:22). This exactly matches up time-wise with its one, "mastered from vinyl" current database CD. FYI, Part 1 of this song, which almost reached the BB Top 40 in its own right (at #45), has a listed time of (2:14) and an actual time of (2:16).

No, sadly. Part 1 is in sterling sound on the "Pecker" soundtrack, obviously from the master tape, but for some reason Part 2 has never shown up other than a so-so vinyl dub.

If the "Part 2" tape is missing, it might be tough tracking down an exceptionally clean vinyl dub. My Hanover 45 is a near-mint RCA pressing, but the amount of regrind in the vinyl is extraordinarily high by RCA standards. Maybe Hanover couldn't shell out the extra bucks until after the Squirrels had brought in a few more nuts.

OTOH, my only other Hanover/Signature 45 is "The Countryside" by Jim Henson (orchestra conducted by Frank Sinatra!) and this RCA pressing is immaculate. Go figure.
