My guess would be that even though both sides are saying it's the edited version, the stereo side is probably the longer version.One other thing I've noticed, and I'm not sure whether you could see it on the photo's, but the mono side appears to be shorter than the stereo side, in terms of the grooves. There's more blank space at the center of the record than on the stereo side.
I've picked some up at garage sales/estate sales, pawn shops, thrift stores, Ebay and of course LEGEND RECORDS in Ottawa!Did you/do you work in radio to get all of these promo copies?
A short history of Steve Eaton
By Amy Atkins
August 2011
Excerpts:
"Decades ago local musician Steve Eaton lived on a hill outside of Pocatello in a home he jokingly refers to as
"the house that The Carpenters built." He would drive to gigs in a Mercedes 350SL.
The 64-year-old Idaho native is now a fixture for the wealthy blue-hair/business-suit set.
Almost every Thursday night, you can find Eaton behind the piano, performing jazz and blues in the bar inside Chandlers Steakhouse.
Eaton's lifestyle is far more modest than it was back in the '70s. But the royalties he receives from songs he has written, including
"All You Get From Love Is A Love Song," which The Carpenters recorded in the late '70s, means that he can afford to "work"
one or two nights per week.
Those royalty checks, although smaller than in years past, are also reminders that Eaton has had--and continues to have--a fruitful career.
------
Back in the day, my songs by The Carpenters and Art Garfunkel were on the radio," Eaton said.
"By the time I moved back to Boise, no one remembered me.
"I was embarrassed to say, 'This is a song I wrote for The Carpenters.'
It made me feel like a geezer, so I reinvented myself and became a jazz piano player."

All You Get From Love Is A Love Song was the first Carpenters song that I really fell in love with. I think the bongo's and the sliding-comb sound really appealed to me.
Because I love AYGFLIALS so much I started listening to other Steve Eaton stuff and I really love it. I even a copy of Hey, Mr. Dreamer (which I think other Carpenters songs could potentially have been mined from, including the title track). He's a very talented singer/songwriter.He's got nothing to be ashamed of. All You Get From Love Is A Love Song is a terrific song! It gets played a LOT at my place. It's a shame it didn't chart higher or receive a luscious 5.1 channel surround sound SACD treatment.
All You Get From Love Is A Love Song was the first Carpenters song that I really fell in love with. I remember lying in bed, as a young kid, the night that my parent's got our first CD player, and the first two albums they bought on CD were Carpenters The Singles 1974-1978 & Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (Volume 1). They didn't play Dylan's album that night, but they played the Carpenters, and even though I was suppose to be a sleep, when the CD got to Love Song, I knew that I had to re-hear that track again the next day. I think the bongo's and the sliding-comb sound really appealed to me. And as I recall, the next day my brother and sister and I listened to the CD while playing Super Mario 3 on the NES (we had turned the TV's sound all the way down).
Also, I absolutely love the album cover! Definitely my favorite album cover of theirs!
Even Richard has a huge print of it hanging in his home...something I don't think can be said about any of their other album covers.
Does the single/shortened version of Calling Occupants have the radio dial changing and the "all hit radio!" dialogue? I'm trying to get those two without the Peluso dialogue, and the word "radio" fades out after he's begun talking.
The single version has a short piano intro and straight into Karen's first line. No DJ in sight
Oh so that would mean that there is no dial turning :/ I'm trying to make it sound fluid (for a project I'm working on) but Tony's voice comes in before K&R's little jingle ends.
I just listened to the disc today, if I could change my rating, I'd give it four stars instead of three.
