my commercial 45 for the left banke song "walk away renee" issued as smash 2041 states the run time on the label as 2:39 but actually runs 2:38 and is faster than all the db entries running in the area of 2:41-2:42 in length....this 45 run time info s/b added to the db.... ------------- edtop40 |

| Our commercial 45 states a time of (2:39). The deadwax info: YW 38559 1 3. (The 1 has a big X over it, like it's crossed out). |

ed, does the 45 contain reverb on the vocals? Most of my stereo
versions are rather dry, however I have one that comes from the ACE import CD "Chartbusters USA Vol. 1" (perhaps the same mix as Pat states "remixed" for from the CD "There's Gonna Be A Storm") which has a lot of reverb. ------------- dc1 |

Not sure I'd use "dry", but any stereo versions I've heard of this song sound rather thin compared to the single, especially noticeable on the intro. Not sure if the stereo's a different take or if it's just mixed/produced differently. |

I recently analyzed this 45. It is a dedicated mono mix
and contains reverb+echo that is not in the LP mix. As Ed mentioned, the 45 is pitched much faster. The remix that is on "There's Gonna Be A Storm" is actually closer to the 45 than the original stereo mix. However no stereo mix can be made to match the 45 because there are also additional vocal overdubs in the choruses. At first I thought it was the extra reverb but when playing them in sync the added background vocals jump right out. The whole group did another pass of harmony overdubs. Those overdubs gave a "full" sound to the chorus you don't get in the stereo. [Edit: i should note the reverb/echo on the 45 vocals is not typical of the time, it sounds more like they are in a small room, but with the door opened and echo in the hallway. I think that's what they were going for in the remixed version but they didn't quite get it] |

So Ace didn't use the mono mix either on the Chartbusters USA Vol. 1 disc? So is the unique hit mono mix with the vocal overdubs still MIA? ------------- Santi Paradoa Miami, Florida |

Yes, it is MIA. Only on 45 RPM singles. ------------- I turn up the good and turn down the bad! |

And it is likely to never see a CD release, ever. Whoever
represents the band has been in legal disputes with Universal for years now, hence neither of their hits have appeared on any CD V/A comps in many years. Universal does retain the right to keep their best-of "There's Gonna Be A Storm" in print in all digital forms though. If they ever do settle one might hope for some sort of newly-compiled digital anthology with single version bonus tracks and such. But can't hope for anything til their catalog is out of lock-down.

That's too bad, the mixes of "Walk Away Renee" and "Pretty Ballerina" from
"There's Gonna Be a Storm" have always sounded "wrong" to my ears. |

Sundazed is reissuing one of their albums
on vinyl, though from the stereo masters. ------------- Live in stereo. |

Is the mono album version identical to the 45 or is it a fold down of the
stereo version? |

That I don't know. Had the mono LP but the copies I had
were all 2/6 matrices, which meant Stereo discs in mono jackets during the famous 1966 Mercury/Philips Stereo single inventory test. Which meant for all 3 so called mono LP copies I've had (including one beat to death promo) that all of them were Stereo discs inside. In that era, mono and stereo discs on Mercury/Philips were randomly mixed mono and stereo in mono jackets. Sometimes you'd even get one side mono, the other Stereo. Some history for you. Mercury was seeing if mono customers would accept Stereo discs, and if so, planned on discontinuing mono LP discs. ------------- I turn up the good and turn down the bad! |
