Monkees - Goin’ Down

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Yeah, I'm hanging around the Bubbling Under lately....

This one, hitting #104 and one of my FAV Monkees tracks, I have running 4:21-

ish, both in stereo and mono. Finding a few 45s on YouTube, they all fade by 

3:58.

My Pop Annual 1955-2001 issue shows the timing as 4:26. A question for Paul 

Haney: Is that an error - did any 45s run 4:26 in 1967? And if an error, has it 

been corrected in the new book?

	Not sure where that (4:26) time came from, but I can report that's what the new Pop Annual shows. Will have to investigate further.

	As far as I can tell, the long version of "Goin' Down" first appeared on the 1982 Rhino picture-disc compilation Monkee Business which was co-compiled and annotated by Bill Inglot. It seems that Rhino has since adopted the long version (that is the one lasting 4:26) as the official version despite the original "Daydream Believer" 45 flipside having an earlier fade.
