my commercial 45 issued as scoti bros 02560 states a run time of 3:35 but actually runs 3:20.........if you fade the cd version below
(S) (3:24) Scotti Bros. 75408 Greatest Hits for 0:08 from 3:13 to 3:21 you'll effectively recreate the true 45 version...  ------------- edtop40 |

Scotti Bros. was distributed by Atlantic from about 1978 to 1981, at which point they switched to CBS. For a year or two before that, before they operated as a "real" label, they actually licensed their material to Atlantic outright.
The Both Sides Now album discography site (www.bsnpubs.com) has a listing for the album from which "Poor Man's Son" was taken, Premonition, under the catalog number system that Scotti Bros. used under Atlantic distribution (SB 7112). If the album was released under Atlantic distribution, it's certainly possible that an Atlantic-distributed version of the single exists. OTOH, it's not clear to me from that site whether the album actually saw release under Atlantic distribution (as opposed to just having a catalog number assigned), and I've found reference to a lower-numbered CBS-distributed Survivor single ("Summer Nights", 02435). Survivor's 1979 debut LP and its attendant singles were definitely released under Atlantic distribution. |
