| There is a 3 LP set by K-Tel of Canada that has a rare stereo version of the non-LP single "I Hear Those Church Bells Ringing" by Dusk (originally released on Bell Records) that I must have to help complete my extensive 1971 collection. Does anyone know the name of this collection? |

It is on the 1973 set TC 211 Today's Super Greats in true stereo. I have an MP3
of a vinyl rip if you want. ------------- dc1 |

Fine song.
Never knew it existed in true stereo! Was the promo 45 stereo/mono? Or was this cut akin to the Neighborhood's "Big Yellow Taxi" (only available in stereo on Adam VIII/Ronco/K-Tel). Actually folks, were there any other cuts back then that were seemingly unavailable in stereo until they made a TV-advertised comp?? Andy |

A great Canadian tune by Chester "Make My Life A Little Bit Brighter" from
1973 (#10, Canada) was a mono 45 and made its stereo debut on the CAD version of 1973 k-tel LP "Fantastic" but it fades early. ------------- dc1 |

David, the U.S. Bell promo 45s I have of Chester's "Make My Life A Little Bit Brighter" (45379) and "Start A Dream" (45458, from '74) are both mono/stereo. It reminds me of another 1973 CAN 45, although it wasn't a hit on either side of the 49th parallel: Cliff & Ann Edwards' "Carry On." The odd yellow-label mono/stereo U.S. Polydor promo we received at my college station was pressed so poorly by NAMI (the former Capitol Scranton plant) that it was barely passable. When I tracked down a better-pressed CAN Polydor promo 45 a decade ago, I was surprised to find that it was mono/mono. |

Yah,
Do you have a dub of that stereo promo 45? I am curious if it runs the full length. ------------- dc1 |

David, how much of a difference do you have between the CAN Celebration 45 and the K-tel CD? The "Brighter" Bell DJ 45 runs at nearly an identical speed on both sides, with the stereo (2:59.6) actually running about .486 second longer than the mono (2:59.1), which is just enough for one more piano note.
That is one l-o-n-n-n-g fade! |

Yes, an MP3 would be great! The next best thing to WAV file. |

Yah,
The k-tel LP (not CD) runs about 2:34. I tried to join the ending of the stereo 45 to it (the k-tel sounds good), but they run at different speeds (this I can fix) but sound different (not easy to fix). ------------- dc1 |
