I feel like this should be somewhere on the board, but I couldn't find it.
The 45 is mono and includes double-tracked vocals throughout the song. It's readily available on lots of CDs; I like Rhino's Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits Of 1969 (both 1989 and 1993 releases). There's a stereo version that includes single-tracked vocals throughout the song. It's also readily available on lots of CDs; I like Rhino's British Invasion Vol. 9 (1991). The database shows the stereo version as "underdub", which I assume refers to the single-tracked vocals. Was this stereo version released in any form in 1969? I can't tell if it was a "stereo LP version" from back then, or if it was just an artifact that appeared in the CD era. ------------- There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one http://www.crapfromthepast.com - Crap From The Past . |

Wasn't this an imported single from the other side of the pond?
I haven't noticed the double vs single tracked vocals, but that's just me. Perhaps the UK releases were single-tracked vocals? I'm going to look for that one on some of those imports I have. ------------- <Dave> Someone please tell I-Heart Radio that St. Louis is not known as The Loo! |

To Ron:
I'm pretty sure the stereo version didn't show up in the USA 'til much later. I'm actually reasonably certain that it wasn't out in the UK when it was a hit, either. What I am sure about is the first album that I owned that contained it was the 1975 'Best Of The British Invasion' on Pye Records thru a USA distribution deal with NY's ATV Records. This album also contained (in my estimation) the USA stereo debut of Sandie Shaw's hits and a curiously both true-stereo AND re-channeled "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor". If anyone can let me know of any earlier stereo USA releases of these tracks please let me know! I would also like to be made aware of any known earlier import stereo releases of these tracks. Thanks! Andy |

One of the most noticeable liner note errors is in the booklet for Dick Bartley's Collector's
Essentials: On The Radio Vol. 4 which reads: "We are proud to present the original single version in stereo; there are no noticeable differences from the mono release." ------------- https://thelunarlaugh.bandcamp.com/ - Listen to The Lunar Laugh! |

Good question. Not sure. It's on their best of from 2004 in stereo and mono. The From The Foundations Expanded Edition has the mono. I would venture that its not the LP version if you cant find it on a 69 stereo album anywhere, just my 2 cents. ------------- "I'm a pop archivist, not a chart philosopher, I seek to listen, observe and document the chart position of music." |

According to Both Sides Now website, it is shown as "e" on the 1969 Uni LP.
Andrew, what do you mean by ...both true-stereo AND re-channeled "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor"? Is this the LP to which you refer: https://www.discogs.com/release/4988083-Various-Best-Of-The- British-Invasion So Sandie Shaw's hits on her Reprise LP "Sandie Shaw" were not true stereo? I would love to know what other true stereo songs are on that Pye LP. ------------- dc1 |

Well, it is the true stereo version, but they ran it through the re-channelling process anyway (you know that old 'one side tin, the other side mud' that was prevalent in the sixties...) Andy |

David, I am really not sure! All I remember is I never found a copy of the US stereo album in the early-to-mid Seventies, and my older "collector friends" suggested that I try an import album if I wanted to see if they were stereo - but I was "afraid" to take a chance on a Goldmine listing...

I bought a Foundations 4CD newly released box set because it claimed to have
the album "From the Foundations" in stereo (that's the album with "Baby Now That I've Found You". When I bought and listened to it, I was disappointed. I'm not sure that it is E-stereo. But whatever it was, it didn't have much stereo separation. |

Probably just used the original lp masters so whatever was stereo on the lp would be replicated, not upgraded. ------------- Live in stereo. |
