We need to find out which version is included on the mono LP of Diane's "The Exciting Years". Anybody have a copy that can step up with this information? ]]> Sat, 16 Jun 2012 08:05:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6915&PID=34477&title=please-dont-talk-to-the-lifeguard#34477 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6915&PID=34404&title=please-dont-talk-to-the-lifeguard#34404 Author: Yah Shure

Great catch, David!

The big tip-off comes as Diane sings "Man, oh, man!": She doesn't sing those three words exactly alike between the double-tracked vocals on the 45. No such problem on the stereo mix.

The stereo mix really bugged me the first time I heard it. Poor little Diane was so distracted by her lifeguard fixation that she failed to notice she was drowning in the reverb chamber. The stereo mix sounds all wet - literally and figuratively - when folded down or broadcast on AM. The mono mix on the 45 is less wet and much punchier.

If you can find a clean copy, go for the vinyl green-label DJ 45 over the styrene black-label stock.

Diane Ray...

A friend of mine just sent me a mono version of this track with a double-
tracked lead vocal. He's sure it is the 45, whereas the stereo version is
single-tracked.

I have a dub if anyone wants to listen, but it looks like another 45 version
has been uncovered and a database update needed. I searched for anything
on this track, but came up empty.]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2012 01:14:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6915&PID=34401&title=please-dont-talk-to-the-lifeguard#34401
