Buckinghams in MONO, anyone?

[THE MARSHMALLOW OVERCOAT]

Yes, I know it's a bit tame for my usual fuzz tastes, but I am on the hunt for Buckinghams mixes in the original 45 mono mixes. Does anyone here have any of the original 45s? The mixes I've heard so far are really superior to the album mixes.

Anyone know if the recent 31-song "Singles Collection" CD for the band is in MONO? I can't find info about it anywhere...

The cheap and available "Mercy Mercy Mercy" best-of CD has some '60s stereo and some recent re-mixed stereo mixes -- the opposite of what I'm looking for, lol.

Thanks for any info, and Fuzz It!

SORRY i TOOK SO LONG REPLYING , i HAD TO DOUBLE - CHECK TO BE SURE.....BUT , I have THE "KIND OF A DRAG " ALBUM, and it  WAS RELEASED IN MONO WHEN THEY WERE STILL ON USA. Maybe it was also released in Stereo , but , that was about a year before everything HAD to be released in Stereo , if not also Mono. Singles were generally mixed hotter for radio , too , at that time.....

That's the only - era Buckinghams I'm that interested in....Of course , I have the "Don't Want To Cry"45 , and , it's a MUTHER....Anyone who thinks those guys never cut a Garage 45 needs to hear that , and their version of "I'm a Man"...
