my commercial 45 for the sly & family stone song 'everyday
people' issued as epic 10407 states the run time on the label as 2:18 and does indeed run that length.....you'll need to pitch up the 2:20 'anthology' cd version by 0:02 to match the vinyl 45.....this info s/b added to the db.... ------------- edtop40 |

Through freegal.com (only accessible through public library websites), I was able to check out the mono version. One thing I've noticed, which I also hear on all stereo versions, is a pretty significant pop at about (1:40)--during the horn blast that follows the "skooby dooby doo" lyric (it almost sounds like percussion but occurs right before a drum tap, leading me to believe it shouldn't be there).
Was that pop present on the original 45 and/or LP? (Might be hard to tell if the vinyl isn't minty.) ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

Doug, are you referring to the little muted burping sound (at about 1:42.36) during the first "sha" of the "ooooo-sha-shaaaa" during the horn blast? That sounds like something that might be an anomaly with one of the instruments, perhaps, but to my ears, it isn't what I'd call a "pretty significant popping sound." This sound is more apparent on the Epic 10407 45 than it is on the vinyl Greatest Hits LP track.
What is "minty" vinyl? Is that one of those new vinyl connoisseur terms? Guess I'd better get with rest of the crowd, then. My 45 wasn't minty, lemony or any other flavor when I taste tested it. There was no bouquet to speak of, although there did appear to be hints of carbon black and styrene as I swished it back and forth. Distinct nuances of paper and ink were detected during the picture sleeve sniff test. Yes, definitely a top 1969 vintage. ;) |

I hear it during the "ooooo", not the first "sha," John. It's between (1:40) and (1:41).
(No, this isn't secret code.) I've seen the term minty used before here. So don't blame the messenger. :) ------------- Doug --------------- All of the good signatures have been taken. |

I think it means "near mint." |

OK, now I see/hear what you meant, Doug; thanks for pinpointing it. It could very well be a click there, as evidenced by the wave form. I guess I always interpreted that as more of a rogue drum hit than a popping noise. In any event, yes, it's definitely present on the Epic 10407 45.
No messenger blaming intended, of course. I've always sided with those who think the term "minty" is silly; a record is either mint or near mint. Why, the next thing you know, they'll be "very goody" or "goody" too! Then if someone were to speak of "an oldie but a goodie," we wouldn't know what condition its condition was in. ;) OTOH, if record dealers were to use Glade Minty Fresh scent on their inventories... |
