Although this 1959 Top 40 hit does not currently appear on a domestic CD, perhaps it may appear on an Import CD. I thought that offering up a correct timing could possibly assist in any current/future investigative efforts for this song. So, for what it's worth, my commercial 45 has a listed time of (1:53), but an actual time of (1:59).

It does appear on this cd: http://www.amazon.com/Golden-American-Popular-Music-Hard/dp/ B000FP2GS4

However my copy of the cd is currently boxed up and not easily accessable for the meantime. The time of 1:59 seems likely that it is just that on the cd, especially if they leased the mono 45 master from the US (i dont remember offhand if the cd listed a UK release for it or not, but at least one song on the cd was taken from a UK mono 45 master as the US has only a rechanneled master).

Given that ACE (UK) is one label that tries to get the correct 45 versions whenever possible, and this being a mono-only recording, they may have been able to do so for this song. However I do know this cd uses the same old stereo version of Bless You by Tony Orlando that fades out well before the 45 does.

Live in stereo.

I posted a few months ago that a number of hard-to-find Swan recordings, including 'Teasin'', are available on iTunes. Also available is Danny & The Juniors 'Twistin' U.S.A.' with better sound quality than on the Collectables CD.

'Teasin'' also appears on a U.S. CD Lost Masters (all Swan material) that I received as a freebie from DisCollector several years ago. My copy has a production error resulting in the first second or two being missing from every track (which is probably why it was a freebie). I don't know if this CD was ever commercially released.

Just to add one final detail for this, the actual run time, from "The Golden Age Of American Popular Music" import CD is (1:58), just one second short of my 45's actual time.
