Duke Of Earl 45

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I see that the 45 of Duke Of Earl is entered in the database as having 2 pressings, one running (2:24) and the other (2:32) even though the label states (2:22) in both cases.  I can verify the shorter version but can anyone verify that there was indeed a longer (2:34) pressing of this 45?  And if so can you provide matrix number information?

	Pat, my copy is a 2:24 copy. It is a Lost-Nite reissue which actually used Vee-Jay vintage stampers. And happens to sound very excellent. Edited by KentT
	I turn up the good and turn down the bad!

	I just checked my somewhat beat-up copy on VeeJay 416, and it too is the shorter version...actually seemed a bit shorter than 2:24 but I might have just lost the tail end in the noise.

	All three of mine run 2:23: 1) Vee-Jay 416 DJ 45, ARP vinyl pressing. 2) Vee-Jay 416 stock 45, Columbia Terre Haute styrene pressing. 3) Oldies 45 21 reissue 45, Monarch styrene pressing. #1 & #3 are sourced from the same mother cutting. #2 is mastered by Columbia.
