my commercial 45 for the peter and gordon song "knight in
rusty armour" issued as capitol 5808 states the run time as
2:36 and sounds identical to the cema "10 best" cd
version....but the db states there is a 45/lp
difference....i just listened to them side by side with
headphones and they sound the same....can someone tell me
where the differences are, if any?....the only difference i
hear is that the 45 is mono and the cd version stereo...

Single tracked vocal on the first verse anyway on the 45 version and double tracked vocals on the LP version.

Ed this is not a mono vs stereo issue it is a single track vs double track vocal issue.

I have the stereo track on the vinyl various artists double-LP Super Oldies, Vol. 3 (Capitol STBB-2910) and it sounds exactly as Pat describes on the opening verse. Gordon's vocal is double-tracked with added reverb. The giveaway that the vocals really are double-tracked (and not duophonically "enhanced") comes on the final word at the end of the line, "...as a knight should be." "Be" is sustained on one of the vocal tracks, but is sung in a quick in-and-out manner on the other, leaving the sustained one all by itself to finish out the measure.
The mono track on Rhino's History Of British Rock Vol. 8 CD has the entire first verse sung drier in one sole track vocal. (Just for the record, it's the one with the shorter "be.")
