Was Elvis's "Steamroller Blues" mono or stereo on the commercial issue? I know the label SAYS stereo, but is it actually stereo?
I ask because I've got it in mono on the Reader's Digest set, "The Elvis Presley Years." It's live, starts out with about half a second of applause fading in, followed by Elvis saying, "Thank you now... thank you." The whole thing runs an actual 3:04. |

Brian, my original 45 is absolutely in stereo. Especially wide stereo, in fact, for a live recording. By the way, my commercial 45 has both a listed & actual time of (3:07).

Thanks, Jim. That must be the mono promo version on my Reader's Digest CD.

David, my 45 fades in, with Elvis giving three quick "Thank you-----Thank you very much------Thank you" acknowledgements at the start, during the guitar lick intro, and then his lead vocals begin at the :13 1/2 second mark.

I would like to second jimct's findings, as my RCA orange label 45 (RCA 74-0910 Stereo) also seems to run 3:07, as listed. However, my intro begins with Elvis stating "Thank you very much (faded in)...Thank you now...Thank you" followed by his lead vocals at 13 1/2 seconds. The guitar intro begins as he starts his last "Thank you" (applause over the first two). Interesting...

Jon, I'm certain the "thank you wording" on both of our 45s is exactly the same. I didn't bother to exactly notate each word of Elvis' opening greeting, like you just did. Based on his post, I thought David Clark just wanted a "general" description of the song's opening few seconds.

Ok, good. I just wanted to avoid some confusion. Sorry I misunderstood the purpose of the question, but I know some people around here are perfectionists (like me, apparently!). Thanks for helping me clear this up.
