On Diana's "To Love Again" CD, it lists Theme From Mahogany as "single mix". But according to Pat's database, there is only one version of the song. Is there truly only one mix of this song -- or a single and album mix -- or is the version on "To Love Again" more accurately described as "alternate mix"?

Yeah, I don't hear any difference on that mix... I never could figure out why it says, "Single Mix," unless the soundtrack version is different.

I find that sometimes, a tape box is labeled "single mix", so that's what they copy printers put in the liner notes. Maybe there was a different mix, LP mix, or soundtrack mix that was never issued. There are probably several reasons of it.

My commercial 45 has a listed time of (3:19), but an actual time of (3:22).

Did there exist a CLEAN vinyl copy of this? Every copy of the single I've ever run across (I'm talking new, previously unplayed copies, not junk from the dime bin at a record convention) has been full of tics & pops.

My best luck with ANYTHING Motown vinyl from the 70's and 80's is a white label promo copy.

My white label promo copy is pressed on yellow vinyl, and sounds fine. The "Sweet Love" DJ 45 by The Commodores was also shipped on yellow vinyl at roughly the same time.

Motown 45's in the 60's were no picnic either. But since most songs were up-tempo, the hiss and other anomalies were better hidden. |

I was at WTRY and we got to the point with Motown product where we would demand a 15ips tape dub. And we'd get it. I remember specifically getting one for "With You I'm Born Again" by Preston/Syretta as it was unplayable, even with the white label promo. They used really cheap vinyl.

Bill, we had to do the exact same thing at our station, especially for the many sparse, slow Commodores/Lionel Richie hit releases. And, like Bill hints, Motown would always bellyache about having to send out the clean-sounding, 15ips reel-to-reel tapes, but they always would. And thank goodness for them, because it would've been pop/click city on-the-air for us without 'em! I wonder if any of those old 15ips tapes ever pop up on eBay?
