"Jammin" is another 45 I have on order, but it hasn't yet arrived. I agree with you that the YT video of the 45 playing appears to match the original CD pressing of Legend. I'll let you know when I get my copy which mix it contains.

Aaron,
I had an email conversation with Mark Matthews about this song. After some sleuthing, he determined the 45 playing on YouTube that I posted is actually a Canadian 45 which features the mix from the original pressing of Legend. The U.S. 45 actually matches the Diament pressing of Legend so it appears the Canadian 45 has the UK mix of Jamming. The UK mix is probably a completely different recording. |

Thanks for the update, John. Again, once mine arrives, I'll post the details. As we all know, there are many instances when two different pressings exist with different mixes on each.

My "Jamming" 45 just arrived, but it's a promo copy. This is an early fade of the LP version, which coincides with Mark's stock copy. It appears that the original Legend CD must have the UK single mix.
I also received "I Shot The Sheriff," which is an early fade of the LP version. Fading from 2:43 to 2:57 will give you the proper 45 length. The last thing I can barely hear at the tail end of the fade is Bob singing "yeah." The third 45 I received today is "Waiting In Vain," which is also a promo copy that plays the same version on both sides. This is a unique mix and matches a dub of the stock 45 that I have. There is additional percussion and reverb on the drums, and as far as I can tell, this mix has never made it to CD. It's a very narrow mix and almost sounds mono. |

Aaron, thanks for the updates. Looks like I'll have to
order a 45 for Waiting In Vain myself and attempt to fade I Shot The Sheriff early. |

RE: "Jamming" .... the reason I decided the Youtube video
is a Canadian pressing is the label design. Even though the record is spinning you can see the title appears at the top. U.S. pressings have the title at the bottom and I'm willing to bet so does Aaron's promo 45. At first I thought the Canadian 45 had yet another different mix but after examining it, I found it is the same mix as the UK 45 and the early CD edition of "Legend." And yes I can confirm the early "Legend" is the UK 45 mix. I have a dub of the UK 45. MM |

I received the other 45s I was waiting on, and I have updated the original post, as well as reformatted it for easier reading.

Thank you for the added detective work. Aaron and Mark.
I just listened to "Stir It Up" on a deluxe edition of Catch A Fire and the mix is much narrower on that album than on the original version of Legend. On Legend, it also has some added reverb. |

Which version were you listening to? On the 2-disc album on Spotify, the original album version is on disc 2. The version on disc 1 is labeled "Jamaican Version" and is a drastically different mix.
