Mix
1 (2.34)
Original single mix, in mono.
Available on: 7" Lonnie Youngblood: Go Go Shoes / Go Go Place (Fairmount
Records F-1002).
Mix
2 (2.49)
Mono version only. This runs c. 13 seconds longer than the single
mix which is cut just before Youngblood says "play some more". This
is a different mix compared to the single version, tambourine mixed
down, some of the backing sax parts are mixed out, and some guitar
parts are different. Easy to hear when comparing the guitar part
around the point when Youngblood says "come on and let me see you
work" at c. 1.30. There is a "stereo" mix which is only a mono track
mixed into one channel and echo on the other one.
Available on: "Stereo" version - Cd "The Early Years" (Classic Rock

Mono version - Lp "For real!" (DJLMD 8011)

Original single mix, in mono.
Available on: 7" Lonnie Youngblood: Go Go Shoes / Go Go Place (Fairmount

Mix
2 (2.02)
A "stereo" mix, which is only a mono track mixed into one channel
and echo on the other one. This runs c. 14 seconds longer than the
single mix which is cut a few seconds after Youngblood says "blow
your horn Youngblood, blow your horn". This is a different mix compared
to the single version, some of the backing sax parts are mixed out,
and some extra guitar parts added. Easy to hear when comparing to
the last few seconds before the single version fades out.

/ Goodbye, Bessie Mae (Fairmount Records F-1022).
Take
2 (3.28)
Stereo mix. This is a very different version. Drums are lower in
the mix, only one of the two guitar parts is present here, the single
version has unaccomppanied intro sung by Youngblood whereas this
version starts directly with music and runs much longer. Less vocal
parts & different lyrics.
Available on: Cd "The Early Years" (Classic Rock CDCD 1189)
(A version of this track released on the cd "The Collection" (Object OR0071) has been said to be an alternate stereo mix, but this sounds like the same mix to my ears. On this cd the sound quality is a bit worse than usual, and the track has been altered with the channel that has the congas lower and the stereo image much narrower. Either this has been done on purpose or it's a consequence of using a poor quality tape for the mastering of this cd, in any case it's not really a different mix.)
Goodbye,
Bessie Mae
