| Pat, you do a tremendous job in both explaining and notating the two different 45 mixes for this song, and I already have both mixes on CD. However, I also want to pick up both versions on an original 45. Both of my existing copies show deadwax info of simply "5971". Whenever you happen to get a spare moment, could you please let me know what the deadwax is for the "other" 45 mix, so I will know what I should be looking for as I browse through the various 45 bins this summer? |

| My 45 that has the hand claps simply says 5971 while the matrix number of the copy without hand claps says 5971-1A. |

| Thanks for the time and trouble in both pulling your 45s out, and checking the deadwax info for me, Mr. Downey. I'm now "on the prowl!" |

So "1A" - without hand claps - is the revised issue? I've always thought it was the other way around, that the hand claps were added to "improve" the song.

my commercial 45 does not list a '1A' either on the label
or the run-out groove and HAS the hand-claps in the song....this may need to be looked into further... ------------- edtop40 |

Re-read Pat's post...the no-suffix copies are the ones with the handclaps. I have both versions, my "no handclaps" copy has a -1B suffix on it. Are there 3 mixes of this song? |
