Pat, since this song also hit the Top 10 in 1973, on Parrot 348, as well as its #1 peak on Garpax back in 1962, I'd just like to offer up some different "2nd hit 45 release" particulars. My 1973 commercial 45, which is mono, has a listed time of (3:00), but an actual time of (3:03).

How does it play/fade against the original Garpax 45? I had a stereo reissue 45 on London once that played at a slower speed and faded later than i remember the Garpax 45 playing and fading at, and the London reissue 45 timed out to 3:13.

Tom, the Garpax 45 states a time of (2:57) but actually runs (3:02). The :01 difference between the Garpax and Parrot releases could easily be the due to the problem of starting a stop watch at the correct point since the sound effects on the introduction fade in.

Since Halloween is creeping up, I thought this would be an appropriate time to visit the "Monster Mash" thread. I'm just comparing the mono 45 version to the stereo CD version I have (which is from a TM Century GoldDisc). The stereo CD version has added reverb that I'm not hearing on the 45. Right the from the start, the bubbles are dry on the 45, whereas there is reverb on the stereo version. I also hear more reverb on the vocals of the stereo version. Not to mention, the stereo version has a longer fade out by several seconds.
Since I don't know the source of my stereo CD version (TM could've dubbed it from any one of the official CDs in the database), I'll have to leave this to another board expert. |

This song was also re-issued on Parrot in 1970 which is when I bought my copy to replace a pretty beat-up Garpax single. I'll have to check, but I think it's the same catalog # as the 1973 re-re-issue. |

There are two stereo mixes out there, one wider than the other. The source is probably just a two track. The more narrow mix may just be the wider version narrowed, I don't know. The narrow mix is on the Polygram 1 Hit Wonders CD. The wider one is usually on the Rhino CDs, except that one of the Elvira CDs has a re sing.

How about the extra reverb? It seems like we should account for that in the database, unless my TM CD is the only one with reverb on the bubbles and added vocal reverb.

I forgot I had this on Fun Rock, where it also contains the extra reverb.

Fold the "extra reverb" copies to mono and see if it's still there..... it may end up disappearing, like it does when you fold the stereo "It's All In The Game" by Tommy Edwards down to mono. If that's the case, i don't necessarily think it should be considered a different version....

It's definitely still there. Like I said, the most obvious is on the bubbles sound effect. The bubbles are dry on the 45. The reverb is loud and clear on a fold-down of the stereo.
