Put on a pair of your favorite audiophile headphones.
Select a dub of this cut that has no noise-reduction.
Heaven. (Especially those background vox.)

I think that's why I thought it was mono. It didn't sound like a stereo track from that era usually does. I just thought my ears were not hearing the stereo really well or I just thought it was E based on that.

Both the commercial and promo 45s were stereo as well (though neither was indicated as such). It's the earliest
stereo Capitol 45 in my collection. I have never come across this song in mono.

Pat:
Although I don't have this CD, Capitol 29638 should have the same 2:37 length of this tune in stereo as 93697. The information would be for the track "Do It Again," which is already listed.]]> Sat, 12 Aug 2023 13:52:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7137&PID=63472&title=beach-boys-i-can-hear-music#63472 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7137&PID=63336&title=beach-boys-i-can-hear-music#63336 Author: Jack45

In the database for "I Can Hear Music," is the following: (E) (2:24) Capitol 29638 20-20. I believe this a single-disc reissue of Capitol 93697, so the reissue probably has same master.]]> Sat, 29 Jul 2023 17:18:12 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7137&PID=63336&title=beach-boys-i-can-hear-music#63336 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7137&PID=35959&title=beach-boys-i-can-hear-music#35959 Author: Yah Shure

Just to make things interesting, my stock copy's actual run time is the average of both of yours: 2:35.

Deadwax is S-45-71521-H2 #2 (the "#2" being lighter-etched than the rest.) It's a Scranton Capitol pressing, as indicated by the International Association of Machinists logo (the letters "I A M" inside a triangle) stamped in the deadwax.]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2012 19:27:01 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7137&PID=35959&title=beach-boys-i-can-hear-music#35959 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7137&PID=35952&title=beach-boys-i-can-hear-music#35952 Author: edtop40
