Herbie Mann - "Hijack"

In that case, is there any other difference between the 45 and LP?

Cool. Thanks, Jim.

This hit #1 in my area - the station did a killer "in-house" short v - just one cut, attaching the great ending of the (5:13) version at around (2:30) into the song. The first record rep I ever knew told me, around that time, that Hijack's Top 40 success caught Atlantic by surprise - and the lack of time and effort given to prepare a quality "Hijack" short version certainly seemed to reflect that. What they did was simply awful, compared to that "in-house."

Outstanding stuff, Jim... Keep the DJ edit information coming!

I notice extra percussion on the 45 version between :28 and :47 that I do not hear on the LP version.

i just listened to my vinyl 45 issued as atlantic 3246
versus the cdr version i have....i don't know where i got
it from, but they are, in my opinion, identical....except
the channels are flipped....at the start of the song the
cymbal taps are in the right channel on the 45 while the
cdr version i have the cymbal taps are in the left
channel...in addition the drum taps and subtle clapping
at the beginning is also flipped....my commercial 45 runs
5:15 and i agree with pauleschen that the cd version and
45 version are the same except for the channels
flipped....i do NOT haear any differences in the time
range 0:28 to 0:47 that pat hears differences....BUT, the
drums during that time are flipped as well....
