STEREO LP DIFFERENCES

As per the Sundazed CD, “The Beat Goes On”, “Love Don’t Come”, “Little Man”, “Cheryl's Going Home”, “Stand By Me” and “We’ll Sing In The Sunshine” were mixed to stereo for 1967 release.

The Stereo LP has a created stereo mix of “Monday” with Sonny overdubbed on the original mono 45 mix with Cher singing lead.

An attempted stereo mix of "You Baby" is on the LP but the entire L channel drops out at the instrumental break.

"Misty Roses" is a long mono version (3.24) EQ'd to simulate stereo, while the remaining tracks ("Groovy Kind of Love", "Podunk" and "Living For "You" are mono music track on R channel with vocals panned across both channels.

"Stand By Me" on the mono LP runs ten seconds longer than the stereo version (3.41)
