I did a sync compare on this and to my surprise the 45 is
just a fold down of the stereo. The 45 was pitched a
little bit slower but that's it.

A very early cover. :) The Neon Philharmonic album
closes with a reprise ("Morning Girl, Later"), which
introduced the lyric variation that Cassidy uses.]]> Thu, 19 Oct 2017 08:42:53 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6924&PID=48385&title=morning-girl-neon-philharmonic#48385 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6924&PID=48379&title=morning-girl-neon-philharmonic#48379 Author: Brian W.

Could be The Lettermen or Rick Ely... both cut their own
versions around 1971. As I don't know what the lyric
difference is, I can't comment.]]> Wed, 18 Oct 2017 20:24:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6924&PID=48379&title=morning-girl-neon-philharmonic#48379 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6924&PID=48378&title=morning-girl-neon-philharmonic#48378 Author: EdisonLite

There's a Shaun Cassidy cover of "Morning Girl" with a somewhat different lyric than Neon Philharmonic - but my understanding is that it was based on an earlier cover that changed the lyric. It didn't appear first on the Shaun Cassidy version. Does anyone know what the intermediate recording is?]]> Wed, 18 Oct 2017 19:12:38 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6924&PID=48378&title=morning-girl-neon-philharmonic#48378 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6924&PID=48328&title=morning-girl-neon-philharmonic#48328 Author: eric_a

I have the original Rhino pressing. I just ran an A-B
test on headphones and I couldn't hear any difference
between the single mix and mono-summed LP version.

The single-version waveform does look a little different,
like the peaks are less spiky, so maybe the single had
some compression.]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2017 22:48:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6924&PID=48328&title=morning-girl-neon-philharmonic#48328 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6924&PID=48324&title=morning-girl-neon-philharmonic#48324 Author: MMathews

Hey Pat, I did an A/B compare a few years ago and didn't hear any noticeable difference.
But what I'll do now is re-dub the 45 and sync check it to see if there might be a subtle mix difference, and post here.

Even if they are basically the same mix, I'm pleased see the comp producers at Warner are offering the mono versions of singles regardless of how different. It's shame this wasn't standard practice for all "best-of" comps at the start of the CD era.

Agreed, Frank....

For me this tune is sort of "intellectual orchestral
hippie" groovy stuff of that era. Loved it as a kid too.

I did a similar "long version" with the Moody Blues,
combining "The Day Begins" with "Nights In White Satin" so
it's one long symphonic treat. :-)

Mark, I love that story! That's awesome. "Morning Girl" is one of my favorite tracks from the period - very different (I think) and quite beautiful.]]> Sat, 09 Jun 2012 19:20:55 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6924&PID=34423&title=morning-girl-neon-philharmonic#34423
