1. Saw the item in the CD Reviews section of Joe Cocker's "The Letter" finally available in its 45 version on CD on the Mad Dogs And Englishmen deluxe set. Is the 45 the version running (4:11) and billed as the "stereo single mix?"
2. Regarding the (2:49) mono version of "Dancing In The Moonlight," which is not the single version: how does the single version differ?
3. Any way to replicate the 45 version of Frijid Pink's "House Of The Rising Sun" (one 45 pressing shows it running (3:23), the LP version is (4:42))?
Thanks as usual.

The mono version of "Dancing in the Moonlight" on CD has extra reverb on the voice, and one spot of lead vocals (on the word "Everybody" in the latter part of the song) is missing! There may be more, but I remember those immediately.

The 45 version of "The Letter" is track 12, disc 2 of the recently released deluxe edition of "Mad Dogs & Englishmen". The description given on the cd packaging is "studio single version".

Cool. I grabbed the right one then. Thanks, Pat.
And thanks, Gordon, for the King Harvest info as well.
Now, any takers for Frijid Pink? :)
Hey, 100 posts. How about that?

There is another slight difference in the Dancing in the Moonlight alternate version The cymbals fade up earlier on the intro on the alternate.
It's probably the same take, with more reverb, and the section which appears to be missing some vocals near the end may be a part that was actually edited out of the 45 and album versions. I haven't tried to make an edit but it sounds like if you edit that "different" section out of the song you get the the right part of the ending. Of course, the song then fades out too early.
I assume it was the best tape they can find so they use that one even though it's not correct.

Has anyone listened carefully to "Dancing In The Moonlight" on the just released Hard To Find 45s On CD Volume 12? Is it the correct 45 version only in stereo?

I'm pretty sure, at least at one time they did, King Harvest has a MySpace page. I'm not on MySpace anymore, so can't verify.
I asked about the actual 45 version of "Dancing In The Moonlight" at one time over there and was told, IIRC, they didn't know if the proper version was on a master somewhere or not.

I once did a vinyl transfer of "Dancing In The Moonlight" from an original mint 45 and also an original mint LP. Both of them have sub-par sound quality. It must have been mixed down to a bad tape, because you can hear lots of dropouts from the very start. I would assume that the unmixed multi-track master must've been okay, because the "wrong version" uses the same take and but has much better sound quality.
Also, the mono 45 is just a fold down of the stereo LP.
