Sorry to threadbump, but I'm confused about something else--was the promo 45 (without the drum roll at the end) the same as the LP version?
(Assuming the promo was also in mono.) If so, then would the CDs labeled as being mono and having the LP version essentially have the promo 45
version? Or do they differ in some way other than mono/stereo?

Doug, Let's talk just vinyl. My white label 45 RPM single (radio station copy) Eight Miles High, has NO drum roll at the end (Matrix #ZSP113505-1E). My stock copy (Matrix #ZSP11305-2G) does have the drum roll. Next, the database does not differentiate between Mono and Stereo. My Byrds LP 'Fifth Dimension'(that I bought in Sept. 1966 while I was in High School) CL 2549, Mono #114237 1c, has the drum roll. My Byrds 'Original Singles 1965-1967' LP (FC 37335) has the drum roll, but unlike 'Fifth Dimension', I don't think it's an early pressing, due to the fact it has a bar code on the back and a late 80's Columbia label. -Bill.

ChicagoBill, any chance the drum roll would have appeared
on a later pressing 45, whether promo or stock copy? Could
very well have happened.

Possibly, I think the clue is in the matrix number. I purchased my original single in April. Then in late July I happened to see 'Eight Miles High' with a picture sleeve. I grabbed them both. They had a matrix number ZSP 113505-2F. All of the stock copies have the drum roll. I didn't get the 'promo' copy until many years later. I think the stock copies were pressed in Terre Haute, Indiana and the 'promos' were pressed in New Jersey. Even my Columbia Hall Of Fame reissues (Columbia 33097) pressed in the early 80's have the drum roll. Of course, what are we talking about, I think the drum roll is at -26db, so the engineers were in the process of a fade, anyway. -Bill.

As far as I know, the single and LP of "Eight Miles
High" should all be the same recording with a drum roll
at the end. This was the band's remake of the song that
their record company forced them to record at Columbia.
They had already tracked the song at RCA studios in Los
Angeles December 22, 1965 but Columbia Records
apparently refused to release it as it hadn't been
recorded in one of their studios and would have caused
them problems with one of the unions. Therefore, they
had to re-record the song and the band wasn't as
satisfied with the results. They all deemed the RCA
version as the better one.
Sundazed eventually released the RCA version of "Eight
Miles High" with the RCA version of "Why" on the B-side
as a collectible RSD 45 in 2011.

Hi. New to the Forum and I've been wanting to find an
answer to Eight Miles High. Realizing this original
discussion is over 7 years old, I'm curious as to
whether this is still the only Cd that has the drum
roll ending?
2) Fifth Dimension (Sony Japan Blu-spec CD SICP 20374,
2012 release.
The #3 option listed in an earlier post is only a 45.
Thanks
Don

I have "Eight Miles High" in mono, with the drum roll
ending, on Original Singles A's & B's 1965-1971.

Welcome to the forum, Don! Can't believe it's been almost eight years high since I made that post. The two CDs (and one 45) I mentioned in it were simply because those were the only three sources I had for the mono 45 with the drum roll ending. There could be other CD sources as well, but if so, I'm not aware of them.
If sound quality isn't a concern, then either options 2 or 1 (the A's & B's 1965-1971 CD John mentioned above) will do, but if it does matter, go for the Fifth Dimension CD in option #2. It's too bad the Sony Japan discs are comparatively expensive.

I'm pretty sure it's the lead track on this CD:
The Psychedelic Years Vol. 1 1966-1969

I have versions of the song that seem to have different
endings. I don't know if it's because one version is in
stereo and the other in mono or what. One is from the
Singles CD from the Byrds and the other is from the Flower
Power CD. The one on the Singles CD that I have appears to
have the correct drumroll.

Yes, I do believe that is the correct one. An even better
version than the one on the Singles CD.

Yea, too bad no one on Discogs has it for sale! ha.
The Fifth Dimension CD starts at $90 from US sellers.
Geez.
