My commercial 45, which is mono, has a listed time of (2:55), but an actual time of (2:52).

You're really having a '69 flashback this week!
This is probably the first song I searched out to buy on CD, armed with Pat's book, after learning that I didn't in fact have the "hit" version on the cds I then owned. |

After listening to a dub of the mono 45, there is reverb in different places on the CD versions that are not present on the 45.

It's been 4 years, any CD's with the mono 45 version yet?

No update on getting the 45 version on CD; however, I've found more than
one stereo version on CD. The one on Billboard Top R&R Hits 1969 is different than the copy on Time-Life's AM Gold: The 60s Generation. The Rhino disc does contain reverb, but it's not heavy. The Time-Life copy, while sonically clearer (possibly a lower generation tape), is drowning in reverb. I suppose this begs the question: Which of the two stereo mixes is truly the LP version? As a side note, neither one of the stereo versions have reverb that matches the 45. |

That's why I had to find a clean copy of the 45 and do my
own needledrop. And, it's hard finding clean ABC and ABC/Dunhill 45s! |

Indeed! Dizzy on the first ABC/Dunhill logo Oldies 45 label does use the original stampers and is a better pressing than originals were. I have had lousy luck finding some ABC or Dunhills in decent pressings. Hey There Lonely Girl being one of the worst ones for me.

Digging through my 45s a couple of weeks ago, I was
surprised to see I have three copies of this 45: one vinyl and two styrene. One of them is fairly clean. |

A lot of ABC/Dunhill promos were pressed on styrene, and sounded much better than the recycled asphalt they used on commercial copies. Other than the Grassroots' "River Is Wide", not sure I've seen a commercial single on styrene. |

We started getting Monarch styrene ABC/Dunhill stock 45s in the Upper Midwest in early 1969, and for the next two years, those were what usually turned up in the local stores. Monarch styrene stock 45s were the mainstay for ABC/Dunhill's retailers in the western states from at least the mid-'60s up until the nationwide switch to Columbia in 1972. The first vinyl Columbia Santa Maria stock ABC 45 I found in the stores was Cherokee's "Girl I Got News For You" (a hit on KDWB) in Summer '71. The next one didn't show up until a year later (Gladstone's "A Piece Of Paper.") |
