I tried to research this one after hearing about a longer version possibly available on a "Collectibles" CD.

Looking through my collection of these, and scouring the shelves at the local used CD store, I have not yet encountered this longer version.

I looked on my 1968 import versions of Time-Life, though it seems it may not have even charted over in the UK.

Has anyone found this version yet? After sampling the 1968 collection, I am still curious about this one.

I haven't heard it, either.

I really hope someone out there has it!

This song was a top 20 hit in England in 1971. In the UK lots of "oldies" returned to the charts years later.

Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley, the Tams, etc. all had "hits" years later in England with songs that had been released in the US years earlier.

I could’ve sworn I asked this in another thread—but danged if I can find it.

Was the single mastered with what sounds like a jump or skip at about the
(1:22) mark? Certainly sounds like it.

Doug, I've wondered the same thing for decades lol.
Hopefully someone with a 45 can answer for both of us.

I don't think we would get the answer using a 45. It seems to me that the 45 was mastered that way
(believe I saw years ago on VH1 [back when they still played videos--and we think MTV is bad] a
lip-synced performance of the Delfonics on a TV show where the same jump in the song occurs).

There must be some sort of story--maybe the same type of splicing error that plagued stereo copies of
the Supremes' "Love Is Here And Now You're Gone" or Sly & The Family Stone's "Hot Fun In The
Summertime," or an even worse tale like "Blueberry Hill."

I would guess this is the version…it just runs on longer than usual.

To MPH711:

I like that extra vamping at the end!

I'd like to find an uncompressed transfer of that for my
archives.

Thanks!

Listening to the longer version, the jump (on the word "ever") occurs there too. That would suggest it's
not a splicing error. It's an oddity--I don't know if anyone could actually sing that word in that exact
fashion.

EDIT: Maybe he could.
