My commercial 45 (confirmed as Tamla 54136, is vinyl, with machine-stamped deadwax of "TK4M -0417-1-D") has a listed time of (2:58), but an actual time of (3:02). And FYI, for my good RR buddy Paul Haney, in my new "Top Pop Singles" book, the song's title omits the apostrophe at the end of "Blowin". I know that sometimes these minor grammatical errors do appear on 45 labels. But just to let you know, the apostrophe after "Blowin" does appear on my 1966 commercial 45.

Jim, our "official" RR copy doesn't have the apostrophe.

Grant recently told me that he had a 45 as a kid (not sure if he still has it) containing the mono mix with the guitars boosted in the mix. This mono mix is on the Complete Motown Singles Vol. 6 box set and is listed as "Alternate Mix." It's also on the digitally released Complete Stevie Wonder set.
My commercial 45, which I inherited from jimct, contains the non-described mono mix from TCMS V.6 and has the guitars lower in the mix. Does anyone else have a 45 that can comment on which version appears on their pressing? It would be nice to know if there is a more common pressing and/or "hit" mix. |
