Mark Lindsay -- "Arizona"

Is the commercial 45 mono? If so, any mix differences with the stereo versions on all domestic CDs.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Rick Nelson’s The Complete Epic Recordings and Mark Lindsay’s The Complete Columbia Singles headline the February release schedule for Real Gone Music, the new indie label helmed by reissue veterans Gordon Anderson and Gabby Castellana. After a spectacularly successful stint as lead singer and saxophonist for Paul Revere & the Raiders, Mark Lindsay commenced a solo career for Columbia that cemented his reputation and legacy with a string of hits. With Real Gone’s The Complete Columbia Singles, all of his singles for the label — plus an unreleased track, Tim Hardin’s composition “Reason to Believe,” that was slated to be the B-side of Lindsay’s first solo single — have been collected on CD in chronological order. This means mono on the first five tracks and stereo on the rest. All have the original single mixes. The accompanying booklet features photos from Lindsay’s archive and liner notes by Ed Osborne, with interviews with Lindsay, Jerry Fuller, Artie Butler and Tom Bahler, all of whom worked on the singles. Street date is February 28.

This is great news and first time mono on Arizona and Silver Bird.

Good to know, Indy500. Thanks!

By the way, was the commercial 45 of Mark Lindsay's "Silver Bird" issued in mono or stereo? The 45 label states "stereo", but I know these descriptions are not always accurate.

The commercial 45 for Silver Bird was stereo, as was every promo copy I've been able to find so far. Maybe somebody else has a mono promo, but I've never seen Silver Bird in mono.
