	another thing about this song is that the stereo version I have (from "The Doo Wop Box II") runs slightly slower and fades a tad later than my mono version from the import CD "The Golden Age Of American Rock'n'Roll Vol. 4" running exactly the same as the 45 timing of 2:46. Database should be updated to reflect this, but does anyone know if the stereo version came in the CD era, or was there a stereo LP at the time.

	david, you're right about the pitch....you'll need to pitch up the doo wop box II version to 81.5 bpm to match the vinyl 45 and then fade out the pitched up version from 2:35 to 2:45 to match it correctly.....my vinyl 45 runs 2:45...
