Surfin' Down the Swanee River

[Sheriff John Stone]

On Pet Projects, it's the only time I ever that mix of "Fallin' In Love" by Spring. Was this a special mix used for the 45, and, was the master sped up? It sounds fast.

The 45 mix of Fallin In Love is not obviously Dennis' mix. The LP and CD reissues from 1988 on makes it obvious. The 45 had the better mix I think. Brian did produce the new version by adding some new elements like a piano line. The first wop was missing on all 45 and LP issues of Pamela Jean. Yes Brian's music was pretty innocent in 1963-64. Summer Means New Love was after he started drugs though and that has an innocent quality too. I think he was just young and it was the times as well.

No-one's saying it was Denny's mix - however, Brian & David Sandler did use his basic instrumental track as the foundation for the Spring version. I asked Steve Desper and he confirmed what my ears were telling me anyway.

When I play the Spring LP version of "Fallin' In Love" next to the 45 (Pet Projects) version, the 45 version sounds sped up, especially the vocals. Was that intentional or was it one of those unintentional "glitches"?
