What Is Love first appeared on the 1959 Roulette LP Rock n' Roll Bandstand, and then turned up on the 1961 Roulette LP Wait For Me. I don't know if either one has the note.

The earliest LP with What Is Love that I have came out in 1965. My mono 20 All Time No. 1 Hits does have the song's first note.

Good catch, Paul. My next question is, did "What Is Love?" appear on a vinyl LP release while the song was a hit and, if so, did the song contain the opening guitar note on the LP?]]> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 21:18:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4019&PID=17972&title=what-is-love-playmates#17972 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4019&PID=17967&title=what-is-love-playmates#17967 Author: Paul C

Paul, yes, the original Roulette 45 begins with a guitar pluck.

I have three of the four CDs listed in the database on which "What Is Love?" by The Playmates appears in stereo: Golden Classics (Collectables), Choice Voices! (Collectors' Choice), and Teen Time Vol. 1 (Eric). On the latter two CDs the opening guitar note heard on the Collectables CD does not appear. I only have this song in mono on a Canadian re-issue 45, which has the opening guitar note. Does anyone have the original 45 and could that person kindly check whether the first thing heard on the 45 is a guitar note?]]> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 16:30:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4019&PID=17958&title=what-is-love-playmates#17958
