April Wine "Just Between You and Me"

Pat, in your book you say that the dj 45's of this song had 2 different mixes. Someone else told me that they simply replaced the French-language portion of the choruses with an English-language portion (or simply edited out the French portion). If that's the case, it seems like they would simply be referred to as edits in your book. So can you please explain what is different about Mix #2 on the DJ45? (And even if the mix is different, did they also edit out the French lyrics?) Is the length shorter?

Thanks for offering. I have that recreation of the dj 45 version from him, which is why I'm confused, because it's just an edit, and is about a half a minute shorter (with the french lyrics in each chorus being edited out). But according to Pat's book, he describes the other version not as an edit, or a fade, or even a "version", but specifically a different mix. And he doesn't mention it in terms of a language substitute, so I'm just not clear what it is.

Pat:

All domestic CD appearances of "Just Between You and Me" so far have been the LP version, which contains the French verses toward the end of the song. The 45 version edits out the French verses altogether. I've e-mailed you an mp3 of the 45 so you can compare it to your DJ copy.

Bill, was it labeled differently, like "AC mix" or "AC version"?

Through the 70's and 80's when Capitol released a version for radio only and not for sale, normally the record number was given an Pro (mono) or SPRO (stereo) in front of it.

Silly Love Songs by Paul McCartney has P-4256 as the long side, and the radio only side has SPRO 8365 added under the record number. Designating that it's a promo only version.

I found the April Wine Promo single which I believe was the SECOND promo. I remember the record guy telling us to "play this one, it's not as hard".

Comparison to the stock copy I have:

The stock copy of Just Between You and Me is 4975 and under it is S97274A. Trail off is S-45 97274-A 4975-Z2.

The promo I'm looking at has 4975 on one side, and S97274B under it. On the other side, it says
SPRO-9625 with S97274B again under it.

The trail off on BOTH sides of the record is SPRO-9625 (97274B)

In listening to it, I'd say both sides ARE identical. In comparison to the stock 45, the SPRO single sounds like the highs have been rolled off to make it less harsh, I can't hear any other difference in the recording. Time is 3:31, just like the stock. No notation that it's a new mix or different mix.
