This was the same ABC management that erased over tapes of television shows during this era, most notably game shows and soap operas.

One thing I miss about the old days of rock 'n roll was the fact that all the major broadcast networks (TV/radio) as well as every major movie studio had a record label.

I am starting to like these old songs more and more every time I hear them.

When I first heard this song, I thought was The Archies!

Tommy Roe. Peter Noone, 3 Dog Night, Billy Idol, & Mark Lindsey on WORLD TOUR in 2012?

[starlost1957]

Great song back in the day. Now Tommy Roe sings it alone?

When it comes to stereo ABC/Dunhill is the absolute worst. Those people must have been drunk when mixing stereo albums. That may be why their 45's remained in mono well into late 1973. So nice to hear the correct version of this song. Check out the 45 version of "Dottie I Like It". it is drenched with echo and cooks! Makes the stereo version sound sick.

@storrs19 Return of Bubblegum Music in 2012?

[starlost1957]

How about All Lead Singers of the 1960's Groups get together & start a tour in 2012?

@storrs19 I think it was probably ABC's mastering engineers, since the individual producers were responsible for the mono and stereo master mixes. When I think of ABC albums of the late '60s-early '70s, no matter who the artist I think of the albums as being very bass-heavy, scooped-mids, like it's ABC's "house style" or something.

[radioman66]

generally they were heavilly produced with thicker reverb and heavy compression so when you played them at home on your record player they sounded like they did on AM radio which at that time was very heavilly compressed and with reverberation. This of course applies to many of the mono 45's of the 1960's & early 1970's before common stereo 45's became the norm. Not just the ABC/Dunhill stuff.

[radioman66]

Yes ABC & ABC Dunhill made a huge mistake by destroying their mono mix master tapes. These versions were much more beefed up for AM Top 40 radio. sometimes they were actually re-sings than the album versions like with Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" and "Creeque Alley" by Mama's & Papa's are two that come to mind quickly. Others like this and some Three Dog Night 45's sometimes added extra brass or electric piano or electric guitar riff that might not be on the album versions.

ABC Records!

Love seeing all these great 45s!

A remnant of a bygone era.

@ChihuahuaboyDH Oh, and I commend you for keeping them in mint condition!
