Righteous Brothers (You're My)Soul and Inspiration

   Hi, I'm new here!
I'm interested in The Righteous Brothers' (You're My) Soul And Inspiration in mono and see from the database that it has appeared in that form on one CD, though it runs longer than the single. Does anyone here have this CD and know if it's a) the single version b) the mono album version or c) a possible fold-down of the stereo version? It runs 3:05 according to the database (like the stereo version), whereas the single ran 3:00. The CD it appears on is called 'Motown, Soul & Rock 'n' Roll Volume 1.' It is available on eBay but I'd only be buying it for that one song (I think I have everything else already).

Thank you.

Martin

	Martin, hello and welcome to the forum. I have the disc you're taking about. The actual run time for this track is just under 3:03 and I believe it is the mono single, though I could be wrong about that. For what it's worth, many of the tracks in that series sound much better to me than any other masterings I've come across.

	That whole CD, TJL's "Motown, Soul, & Rock and Roll," which is mostly mono, is unfortunately lossy. It's all upconverted from MP3s -- I ran it through Cool Edit Pro's spectral view. I think only one track on the set is lossless, but I forgot now which it is.
