The flanging is on the background vocals when Frankie sings "Oh, I got a funny feeling when she walks in the room..."

I don't have the 1976 (LP) version on every CD listed in the database, but I'll detail what I do have:

The version on Warner Special Products' 2-CD Good Times (1991) sounds just OK. The same analog transfer is used for Warner Special Products's 2-CD 40 Summer Fun Hits (1993).

Bill Inglot did a much better analog transfer for Rhino's Four Seasons Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (1991). The same analog transfer is used for:
  • Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 36 More AM Nuggets (1994; a little too loud and clips a tiny bit)
  • Razor & Tie's 2-CD Super '70s (1995; tail of fade is truncated)
  • Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 23 1976 (1996; differently-EQ'd digital clone)
  • Warner Special Products' Eighteen Disco Superhits (1996)
  • Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 44 '70s Dance Party 1975-1976 (1997; differently-EQ'd digital clone)
  • Time-Life's 2-CD Seventies Music Explosion Vol. 1 Sunshine (2005; digitally identical)
My recommendation for the LP version: Go with Rhino's Four Seasons Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (1991).

The single version Aaron mentions can be found as a
lossless digital download on Pono, and the mp3 everywhere
else. However, currently, Pono is switching
distribution, so the store is off-line.

I swear I've heard a mix of "Who Loves You" with two separate hi-hats in the left and right channels, slightly out of sync with each other. The "swishy" effect sounds like the result of combining these together to the center of the stereo image.

Could the mix I heard be a quadraphonic version? 1975 was quite late for quad, but it's possible. Or maybe a dedicated 8-track/cassette mix? It's very difficult for vinyl to achieve good stereo separation at high frequencies, but tape doesn't have that problem, so maybe they only mixed the hi-hats together to mono for the LP/45 release.

Perhaps you heard the "disco" mix of the record? I am not
even sure if the hi hat effects you mention are in that
mix. I will have to some deep digging and listen soon.

I had the Jersey Beat box set and returned it, because one (can't remember which) of the discs wouldn't play.

What you describe sounds like the mix used on the "HITS
DIGITALLY ENHANCED" collection from the late 80s.

Here's a link.
