There is an interesting discussion on another chat board about the single "Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers. One member claims that there is no audience applause on the ending of the 45 but there is audience applause on the ending of my original 45 with matrix number IM6187 which is not only printed on the record label but etched in the runout groove. Does anyone have this original 45 without audience applause on the ending?
An interesting aside is that the audience applause on my 45 is not the same audience applause that is found on the LP "And I Know You Wanna Dance".

I have 2 copies of the original 45 - and both exactly match up with both your IM6187 # and version parameters, Pat. Perhaps that member is confusing this title with Johnny's "Memphis", where the 45v has no ending applause, but the other versions of it do.

Maybe they're referring to reissue 45s?
Early issues of this on the gold back-to-back hits singles (gold label) do have the applause and "Batman baby!", though later issues on the black label with the car do not.

I checked my http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh240/YahShure/JohnnyRivers-SecretAgentManDJ.jpg - promo copy of the 45, and it does have the applause and "Batman, Johnny" at the end. Same IM-6187 matrix number as already noted above.
