To date, the only legitimate CD appearance of Mark IV's "I Got a Wife" is on the Time-Life Your Hit Parade - Golden Goofers CD (Time-Life HPD-40). I have a question for anyone who has this disc... Does the song sound like it came from a tape source or a vinyl dub? Since even used copies of the Golden Goofers CD run pretty expensive online, I want to be sure "I Got a Wife" is not a vinyl dub before deciding to splurge for the disc. Any help here would be much appreciated.

my commercial 45 for the mark IV song "i got a wife" issued
as mercury 71403 states the run time on the label as 2:00
but actually runs 2:02 and is identical as the lone db
entry.....this 45 run time info s/b added to the db....
