Karen Verros - shorter version of "Gotta Know My Mind"? - anyone heard the Donovan version?

[chas_kit]

1. Has anyone heard the Donovan demo version of "You Just Gotta Know My Mind"? In 2010 an acetate sold on ebay, with a Carter Lewis song on the flip. Anyone have a scan of the Donovan side of this?

2. Karen Verros - there is an edited version of "You Just Gotta Know My Mind" that doesn't have the repeat of the first verse. Anyone have this version that actually plays at 1:57 on 45? If so can you please post a label scan and confirm the runout has MB-20351-RE ∆59013 / MB-20352-RE ∆59013 ?

3. I've had three copies, two vinyl and one styrene, and all played the longer 2:12 version despite the labels reading 1:57. I don't have the styrene any more - can someone please check the runout on a styrene copy?

Current theory: when Ace issued "Hard Workin' Man – The Jack Nitzsche Story, Volume 2" CD, they used an edited tape, and this is the source for the 1:57 version.

I bet all the 45s play at 2:12 on the A-side.

No?

My own collection copy plays 2:12 (and states 1:57 on the A-side label) and has the "RE" on the label and in the dead wax.

Thanks Dave. This is cool ... but no picture of the bard on the front

The sheet music is in the wrong key for the Karen Verros version. Should be in A.

I believe the sheet music came before the Verros recording. Otherwise it's the same arrangement.

I'm assuming this is the version on Alec's Ace/Big Beat Jack Nitzsche CD?
