Does anyone have the Quad 45 of 'Frankenstein' (Epic JBQ 506)? It has long been agreed that the album version is a fantastic quad demo track, and there are several differences between the stereo and quad mixes. But I just realized that the single version is much shorter (3:28 as opposed to 4:45). This was true with the stereo album vs stereo single already. My question is, how different is the quad single to the quad album? Is the mix closer to the stereo single, or is it something else again?
For that matter, the flip side of the quad 'Frankenstein' single is 'Free Ride'. The album track is 3:20, the single is 3:05. Was it just a shorter fade, or is there more to it than that? I'm not trying to be a purist, I'm just fascinated that so many versions were created.
