I need some help "Canadian-wise" here. I'm wondering if there was EVER a stereo mix of this track (even if it was the LP version). Is there one on CD or vinyl?

All of ther mixes I have heard have been mono. Now I'm speaking of the Nick Gilder version - not the Bryan Adams version.

By the way, this fits in to our re-recording as a single conversation. The Bryan Adams version was a re-recording of the original version a year before. In 1976, I believe that the Bryan Adams record charted lowly on the US Billboard chart.
Cheers,

Hi Jody,

Yes, this is available in a stereo mix, albeit the LP version. I have it on the Sweeney Todd LP on London. Note that this LP was also issued with the mono single version and my friend has a copy of that LP.

Would you like to hear the stereo version?

Actually, BOTH versions charted on the Hot 100. The original Nick Gilder version peaked at #90 (on 8/21/76) and the Bryan Adams version peaked at #99 (on 9/18/76).

To David Clark:

What is the difference between the Gilder-led stereo album version & Gilder-led mono single version?

I'd love to hear the stereo version!

45 is mixed different from the LP, it has a guitar overdub on the instrumental bridge not present on the LP, and it edits out the last verse. LP runs 3:53.

Curiously, is the same Bryan Adams we all know and love? My copy of "Roxy Roller" ID's him as Bryan Guy Adams. The singer on that single sounds more like Nick Gilder than the Bryan Adams who had a string of hits in the 80s.

Yes, "Guy" is Bryan Adams' middle name & he joined Sweeney Todd when he was fifteen years old & became a superstar in his early twenties.

I just discovered that both of my CD versions of this song feature the original, Nick Gilder vocal. Given Bryan Adams' mega-success after his early, Roxy Roller "replacement vocal", I would've suspected that the Gilder version would be harder of the two to locate on a CD these days - but, for me at least, it has been just the opposite. Anyone happen to know where I can snag the "Bryan Guy Adams" Roxy Roller vocal version on a domestic or an import CD?
