I never did report back, but the short /
long promo was stereo on both sides.... I
have since sold it. I didn't like the
short edit. More info is at

Live in stereo.

Bumping this up for Doug, in case he hadn't seen it.

Thanks, Aaron. The search function on this board is a little wonky--
everything but this thread turned up when I put "Redbone" in the box.

I have the LP version on three different CDs, with three different masterings, and all three have their left and right channels out of sync by a sample or two:

Columbia's Rock Artifacts Vol. 2 (1991)
Sandstone's Reelin' In The Years Vol. 3 (1991)
Realm's 3-CD Greatest Hits Of The '70s Vol. 1 (2001)

If I had to pick, I'd go with Rock Artifacts Vol. 2, but all three sound significantly worse than any of the 45 versions on CD.

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

According to this video, made using a quartz-locked Technics turntable, the short mono "2:52" promo 45 of "Come and Get Your Love" runs to at least 2:56 -- if you cut the intro to where the music begins, the video ends at 2:55.7 while the music is still faintly fading out:

Steve Hoffman has stated over on his
forums that fold-downs were considered a "no-no" at the
unionized CBS Records, hence the dedicated mono DJ 45
mixes appearing as late as they did.

Given how unionized the entertainment industry is, I'd
imagine the same situation exists at all the other major
labels, how did others get away with fold-downs?

Don't we have a statute of limitations around here stating that we're not required to defend posts we made a decade earlier? ;)

I have no idea, other than that CBS' engineering agreement was undoubtedly much more specific than those of the other major labels at the time. Considering how few of them they did after the mid '70s, you have to wonder why the occasional dedicated mono promo 45 mix still managed to make it out the door at 51 W. 52nd Street as late as 1979 (Flash & The Pan's "Hey, St. Peter" comes to mind.)
