my commercial 45 for the johnny cymbal song 'mr bass man'
issued as kapp 503 does not list a run time on the label
but actually runs 2:34 and does NOT have the count-
off........all the db entries do not have a qualifier on
it, but the mono 45 has lots of re-verb while the stereo
version is completely dry......pat, you may want to re-
qualify the stereo entries as some other version, but NOT
the 45 version.....was the song originally issued in mono
on the album version or stereo?

The very first place i heard this in stereo was on the MCA
Vintage series in the 80's, mixed by Steve Hoffman.
Thanks for reminding me Ed, i was sure the original had
reverb that was missing from this new stereo ... I love
Mr. Hoffman's mixes in this series, but i too wonder was
there a stereo LP? Anyone ever hear this in stereo before
1985?

I thought I might have had this on one of the three K-tel LPs I have from the '70s, but it turns out that "Mr. Custer" is on two of them. Must've been cheaper to license than the Bass Man. ;)
BTW, the MCA 60043 reissue 45 on the black label with the rainbow uses a Kapp-era stamper and does have the correct 45 version with the reverb. However, the sound quality is much more muffled than on the Kapp 503 stock copy I have, but with some substantial top end EQing, it can be healed to match sound of the 1963 Kapp 45.

Although this is far from a guarantee that the hit song actually appeared in
stereo on the stereo album, according to the amazingly accurate Kapp label
sequential LP releases area of BSN (they even also show a slight LP cover
variation scan for this LP!), Kapp did release both mono (KL 1324) and stereo
(KS 3324) versions of the "Mr. Bass Man" LP in 1963.

If anyone is daring, there is a Japanese stereo EP on ebay:

FYI: the 45 version with the reverb has finally been
released on CD (and in stereo) on Hard To Find Jukebox
Classics 1963: Rock, Rhythm & Pop (on the Hit Parade
label).

P.S. A lot of the MCA reissues of Kapp Winners Circle 45
singles (themselves often from original metalwork) are from
stampers with high numbers of pressings on them. Which
explains the dull muffled sound.
