I hear a bass line in the opposite channel during the opening vocal in the
stereo version (as found on "Rhythm and Blues 1958") whereas in the mono
mix, I do not hear it. It may be buried behind his vocal, but I believe it's
missing. Give it a listen and comment, please. It may warrant a database
update.
Anyone know when it's first stereo appearance was? Best guess, it's from
that famous 1968 LP "History of Rhythm & Blues Volume 4: The Big Beat"
which I believe was first time stereo for a number of tracks.

Can't say I hear the bass line you reference in the stereo version David but I do hear a significant reverb difference between the stereo and mono versions and I will make note of that in the data base.

Pat, I had a friend of mine who's ears I trust implicitly listen. He also hears
the bass line that plays along with the dum dum's in the opposite channel in
the stereo mix, that are inaudible in the mono.
Can anyone else give a listen to back me?
Gee, as Todd states, finding anomalies in our music/collecting hobby never
ends!

Hi David,
i examined this also .. I do clearly hear the bass guitar
in the right channel in the stereo.
From what i can tell, it is [technically] present in the
mono but quite inaudible because he's playing along with
the bass singer.
It's definitely lower in the mix than the stereo.
The only way i could be sure any of the guitar is there
in the mono was look closely at the waveform. The bass
guitar plucks a split second after each "bum, bum, bum"
.. and you can see the outline of the "plucks" just after
the start of each note the singer sings.
So it is mixed differently, David .. your observation is
true just from the difference in level.
And as Pat noted, the stereo mix has a big noticable
difference in the reverb. The stereo has a ton more
reverb on the backing track that the mono mix does not.
