Sonny And Cher - All I Ever Need Is You		The writing credit on B4 should read Roberts, not Roberta. Austin Roberts and Chris Welch were signed to Famous Music at the time, and frequently wrote together.

mod edit: corrected. Looks like a straightforward entry typo.

The Who - Happy Jack		"Don't Look Away" is stereo here? I'm quite sure that the coupling with Sell Out contained the song in mock stereo - why would it be changed?

Various Artists - Country Boy		No stereo version listed. My mother had a stereo copy of this - long gone or else I would list it... but the thing is, I remember it had no audible separation. Her copy was burnt (as in cue burnt, although back cueing had nothing to do with it) from start to finish. Combined with the monoific sound, I wondered at the time if this was what happened when you played stereo records on mono gear. But when I played it into my tape deck and watched the VU meters (analogue), they reacted in a way that suggested EQ based fake stereo. Some of these songs were released by the artists in the pre-stereo days (whether they were re-recorded for this album I have no idea), but it seems there were some new cuts as well. Oh well, I can add this one to my want list. It has to be out there somewhere...

Jim Reeves - The Best Of Jim Reeves		Did RCA remaster this for stereo somewhere along the line? My mother had a cassette in the 70's that included "He'll Have to Go" in true stereo. Her copy of the LP was mono. I found a stereo LP (dog on top) a few years back, and that song is mono - flat mono, not rechanneled. I'm wondering if that tape and the album always differed.

Hurricane Smith - Hurricane Smith		@edlongus The answer is up to the release of this LP they were available only as mono non-album singles. "Oh, Babe..." was itself mono on the UK single (which came out several months before the US release). It looks like Capitol asked EMI to remix that song for stereo (which they did - but nothing else, including the flip). Once it was clear the single would be a huge US hit and an album was warranted, EMI sent over everything, from which Capitol picked the debut single and the UK follow up to "Oh Babe..." ("Who Was It") and padded it out with five tracks from his new album which had come out in the UK a few months earlier. Time was of the essence: remixing the mono tracks was a delay that couldn't be afforded. The real question is what was the story with "Don't Let It Die"? A giant hit in the UK, it was the centerpiece of that first album, yet it appears it wasn't remixed for inclusion therein.
