The Band-"Don’t Do It"

   Thanks for the extra info John!  Jim sent me a dub from 

his promo 45 and the A-side mono just like yours and the 

stock 45. 

So the version on the re-issue 45 was obviously not 

released before that, but I have a hard time picturing an 

engineer taking the many hours to make a stereo re-

creation for a re-issue single. I suspect more that this 

tape was just there and somebody grabbed it.   

The usual deal for those re-issues was grab whatever and 

slap it on. Especially Capitol.  

One thing I can say is the audience overdub on the stereo 

edit matches the audience in the rest of the recording 

and the LP so at least it came from the same place/time. 

It just wasn't the same segment that was used in the mono 

mix.  

But I am now curious to hear more of the crowd effects 

that precede the LP version ...as Doug pointed out some 

of the opening crowd has been removed from the digital 

versions of this album.  

One other minor difference I can report. The stock 45 

runs (3:39), but the promo 45 actually runs (3:41) 

because of 3 extra seconds of applause at the fade out.
