Etta Jones - Don’t Go To Strangers

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   If there has been a previous discussion of "Don't Go To 

Strangers" by Etta Jones, I was not able to find it.

I do not have an original US Prestige 45, but my Canadian 

Quality 45 runs 2:41, as does the YouTube upload of what 

is described as the original US Prestige 45 by our friend 

the 45prof. 

Joel Whitburn's Pop Annual 1955-1999 gives the run 

time as 3:49 and the song runs 3:48-3:49 on all CDs in 

the database. It also runs 3:49 (in stereo) on the 

'Original Jazz Classics' re-issue 45 I have (issued in 

1984).

The original Canadian 45 states the run time as 2:42, but 

images I've seen of original US 45s do not state a run 

time.

Does anyone have an original US Prestige 45? If Joel and 

the 45prof are both correct, then there are two different 

original US 45s.

	I have finally been able to track down a U.S. 45 and, unlike both the 45prof's YouTube upload and my Canadian 45, it runs 3:49. So, assuming the 45prof's upload is from an actual U.S. 45, there were two different pressings of Prestige 45-180, one featuring the full LP version running 3:49 and one with an edit running 2:41.

	the45prof has reposted the long version of the song. So seems there remains no evidence of a short US 45, unlike there being a short CAD 45.
