Our commercial 45 of "Society's Child" by Janis Ian (Verve 5027) states a time of (2:59), but actually runs (3:10).

Ditto for my promo.

Curiously, has this song ever appeared anywhere in stereo?

I got my hopes up when this Polydor reissue arrived in 1975 following Columbia's success with Janis' "At Seventeen." After all, if a record company says a record is stereo, that means it is stereo. Right?

Well, they lied! Can you believe that?! :)

I don't think "Society's Child" has ever been issued in stereo.

At least they got the time right.
