Deep Purple-"Hush"

My commercial 45, which is mono and confirmed as Tetragrammaton 1503, has a listed time of (4:11) and an actual time of (4:13). I noticed that my friend Ed had previously posted in a "Deep Purple Top 40 Hits" thread that his 45's actual time is (4:17). I also notice that Pat has a database note for the song, stating that the 45 version starts with two wolf calls, and the LP has three, and that's what I'd always thought as well. But Pat, I've just carefully and repeatedly checked the very beginning of my 45, and it actually only has ONE wolf call at the start, not two. This probably accounts for the :04 time difference between Ed's 45 timing, and my 45 timing. My deadwax info is simply "7705", with a "D73" about two inches to the left of the 7705 number. FYI, my label features the standard, WB, late-60's 45 font, for both its block and smaller lettering, that was utilized on a good number of the Tetragrammaton 45 releases. It certainly appears to me that more than one original 1968 commercial 45 has been issued here, and any additional details that anyone else could offer here would be very appreciated.

Yah Shure, thanks for your post. I figured my "one wolf intro" 45 was not the most common commercial 45 version. My label looks absolutely identical to yours, and I just re-confirmed with my magnifying glass that it defintely and clearly says "D73", not "DT-3". FYI, the "One More Rainy Day" side does have the "DT-3" notation before the "7706" deadwax, for that side of my 45.

My original Tetragrammaton stereo LP version of Hush has three wolf calls and runs 4:23.....

Which font is that exactly? I'd like to add it to my PC collection.

In reviewing this song, I was listening to a dub of the
45 (not sure if it's origination, perhaps YouTube.)
During the 2 wolf calls at the beginning of the song, in
the background, it sounds like a band member clearing
his throat.

Does anyone who has the 45 ever notice this?
