Welcome to Channel WABCRADIO77, where we feature original vinyl 45 RPM Records, Radio Airchecks & Great Music!
The goal of this channel is to present classic "oldies" music the way it was meant to be - in it's original form exactly as it sounded when the song was a hit on the radio.
While that goal may sound simple, and some may wonder what the big deal is, for after all you can simply tune into your local oldies radio station and hear all the great oldies music almost 24/7. So why does someone create a UA-cam channel to present what anyone can tune in on the radio to hear, or even better - download from itunes for just a $1 a song (which I do encourage everyone to do to support the artists).
The answer is simple - In almost all cases, music from the time period from 1958 to about 1972 was made to sound it's best in mono, which we heard also in mono on our AM radio. Those AM stations were taking the original 45 RPM vinyl record and either directly playing it on the air, or making a recording of it onto "tape cart" and playing the tape in order to prevent wearing out the record. Therefore, if you grew up in the 50's, 60's & 70's, this is how you heard pop & rock music originally, and that is the exact sound that made the record a huge hit that you remember! Remember, Pop music on FM Stereo radio was almost non-existant before 1970. The big powerhouse radio stations like WABC in New York, WLS in Chicago, KQV in Pittsburg, WOKY in Milwaukee, WKBW in Buffalo, WFIL in Philadelphia and Boss Radio KHJ in Los Angeles - ruled the airwaves! They were all on AM, and of course all MONO!
Now here's the problem - what you hear today on oldies radio is often NOT the original version or mix of the music heard originally. It might be a stereo mix (rather than the mono mix), or a longer version (rather than the short versions released originally), or even worse it might be a re-recording (NOT the original!).
To solve the "originality" problem, about the only and best way is to simply go back to the original vinyl 45 RPM record, for that is in most cases the original version of the song you heard when growing up!
Artists and their producers (and in some cases the record companies themselves), completely focused on making the song sound it's best in mono, and on the AM Radio. Because in order to "break" a record so that it became a hit that everyone rushed out to the record stores to buy, it had to first get played on the AM Top 40 Radio Stations. The mono mix was call

From the NETHERLANDS, who,s listening to this great song in 2024?
As has been mentioned, Norman 'Hurricane' Smith was stidio engineer for the Beatles up to and including Rubber Soul, as well as producer for Pink Floyd on three of their first four albums, but did you know he played the drums on their track Remember a Day? By the way, the sax player on this is his friend Frank Hardcastle, whom he met when they were in the Royal Air Force together.
Quality!
THE SONG THAT CHANGED THE SCENE OF AMERICAN MUSIC FOREVER... "Who's Elvis?" - One Girl, Feb 1964
I never ever heard this great song in the Sixties. Apparently Spanky only charted in the US and Canada. They were so good!
"Blazing" was an early-LSD slang term for tripping. Ray had followed the Beatles into Alice's Psychedelic Wonderland. The album, Face to Face, is still one of my favorites from the period.
❤
Love love love this.
BB-s songs from this era is their alltime best!
Neil is a GENIUS - for SURE, I Love him forever 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Anybody else first hear this song on The Muppet Show? It was in the Ruth Buzzi episode; She sang it at Sweetums the monster.
The summer of 69 was a wonderful time and this song made it this song made it that way.
Sorry for an awkward question. Is this playing too fast? I've never heard the song before, but Florence and Marilyn's harmonies seem impossibly high compared to all the 5th Dimension songs I've heard before.
Sorry to answer my own question: but I replayed this at 0.75 speed. It's still not right, but better than the original speed.
This one’s better in mono…
So HEAVY it cannot be lifted or stolen..! I LOVE THIS SONG FOREVER!
I like the way they sing frere jacques half way through the song
Is this in Canada?? Just curious cause i'm not sure at all!
Hearing this for the first time (having only previously heard the stereo mix), the loudness of those drums took me by surprise. Those mono singles had a punch that the stereo versions severely lacked.
I loved this song! Mom hated it. She was right about never letting anyone bending or shaping you.
This is one of the songs that sound better in mono rather than stereo 👍 good job!
Yes, I had a copy of this- and the picture sleeve.
Wow, one of the best songs from the early 1970's! And then around 1975 or so...disco.
Gran arreglo
Temazo!!
The reworked version of I Want To Testify is on the album Up For The Down Stroke from the year 1974. Parliament - Funkadelic.
You got it right.
I much appreciate the "7" inch version.

Two ASCAP publisher members published this song.
Actually, that version has a session drummer. His name was Andy White Ringo never played on the version that you’re listening to. George Martin didn’t like Ringo either.
Boring drum beat
2024 and im still alive, and so is this great song.
❤❤❤ 1960s The Holy Spirit Ghost Divine Eternally : whatever any spirit entities Not of Thee have to sayy and or do . Thank You Jesus . Ere zij Gott one and All .
Listening again June 2024. Loved this song when it came out, had the cassette single. When I was a lot younger and skinny, I used this song to do sit up's to. This song popped into my head tonight. Took me about 2 hours to track it down.
Beautifull
This tune is about Vietnam war ..at that time ..

What times😢😢😢❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊
Oh my good..i love this song❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
The last comment was made 8 years ago. This video has been blocked worldwide since then. I'm glad these are back on!
Sounds as good today as it always has a true classic
I’m 62 and still rockin’ out to this one! Also I remember watching them perform this on my cartoons called the Groovy Ghoolies which were Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster and a werewolf!
Is the processing you're deploying the same as WABC at the time?
Sometimes a feller has a bit too much to dream is all man.
San you please explain why this was released as a capitol records 45 ,and not on United Artists?My old worn out album is on that label and was curious as to why that didn't happen.
This was originally meant for The Spinners (at least from what I’ve read)….
