pussycat?' issued as parrot 9765 lists a run time on the label as 2:15 but actually runs 2:18 like most of the mono 45 versions listed in the db.....this 45 run time info s/b added to the db.....thanks, todd for assisting on this one.... ------------- edtop40 |

I've noticed that some CD's have this song
with the full instrumental intro, while others open cold with him saying the title. Was this edit a promo edit, or on album anywhere? ------------- Dan In Philly |

I also just remembered a similar situation
with the Bobby Vee hit, "Come Back When You Grow Up". I know there's an instrumental intro and other cases with the song opening cold with his vocals. I know I heard the latter on the radio on oldies stations years ago. Was it on the commercial or promo 45, maybe on an album somewhere? ------------- Dan In Philly |

I'm reasonably confident that all "Come Back..." vinyl releases started with the cold vocal opening; the instrumental opening was a CD era Ron Furmanek remix from the session multitrack. Please, anyone correct me if I'm wrong! Andy |

The cold intro was on the 1965 parent LP. One of those oddities where the 45 version was longer than the LP.
The only version of this that I was aware of pre-CD era was the one with the cold intro. I don't have the parent LP of this, but I do have the song on a 1968-vintage Liberty VA comp, and it's the same cold intro as the 45, only in stereo. |

Thanks for that information. There's a few YouTube videos of the 45 being played and they open cold with vocals. ------------- Dan In Philly |

Very interesting! I wasn’t aware of the instrumental intro version until I read
about it here. I checked my Ron Furmanek “Legendary Masters Series” and, sure enough it doesn’t begin with a cold vocal start like the 45. It has a brief count-off intro. Ron’s version runs a little longer than the 45. The inst. intro is about 11 seconds and the ending runs about 13 seconds longer than the 45, so all together it about 24 seconds longer. Ron sure did a good job on the Bobby Vee Legendary Masters Series. It sounds great! |
