The Lovin' Spoonful - Summer In The City - 45 RPM POWERFUL HOT MONO MIX
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 січ 2012
- Original Kama Sutra Records #211
Debut 7/16/1966 and peaked at #1 for THREE weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
Here it is - the original POWERFUL HOT MONO MIX version of this great summer tune from 1966!
Go ahead and listen to the common wimpy stereo mix of this record, and you will come back to listen to this much better version every time!
Just the beginning few POWERFUL notes will clearly demonstrate how good of mix this mono version is!
Great news! In New Jersey, FM Radio Station New Jersey 101.5 just loaded onto their hard drive the record that you see playing here! They wanted to get that powerful mono mix sound on their station, which is the biggest radio station in the state. So the next time you are tuned to New Jersey 101.5 and this tune comes on the radio, you will be hearing this exact record. Very cool! Thanks to program Eric Johnson, whom I sent in the audio of this record to, for getting this song onto his station.

Sadly, lead guitarist 'Zal' Yanovsky passed away on December 13th, 2002 at the young age of 57...
R.I.P. Mr. Yanovsky
The loving spoonful do know how to rock.
Their signature song-Still rocks fifty years later!
+Scott Burton yep
WOW! I also bought this one when it hit #1 51.5 years ago! I'm old! The stereo version never thrilled me. Their producer never quite did a decent stereo mix on any of their tracks. Thanks for preserving this one in glorious mono!
Great summer song!
what a fun lil rocker this one is and shall always be.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. YANOVSKY. YOU'RE ONE OF THE GREATEST GENTLEMEN, GUITARISTS, HUMAN BEINGS, ROCK PERSONALITIES, STAGE ARTISTS AND VOCALISTS EVER. MANY THANKS AND MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND MESSERS. BOONE, BUTLER, SEBASTIAN AND YESTER.
9 yrs old hangin' around the Tilt a Whirl. 2 Shure VocalMaster's strapped to the frame blasting this song over and over. It's hot but the sun is going down...
I love the clarity of these 45s! Before finding your site, I never realized how much different the mono mixes are. Also, it never occurred to me how the producers were aware of the frequency limitations of AM broadcasting, and thus how their mixes were purposely focused on the mid/bass tones with a boost needed where the treble was concerned. It leads to a well rounded mono sound on a Hi-Fi system.
Correct. Plus record producers and engineers put primary emphasis on these mono mixes for how they would sound over a car's AM radio, which is where most teens would first hear a new song. Producers wanted their records to "pack a punch". Before the early 1970s, FM was mostly a wasteland of nothingness. AM - all in mono - was where all the great legendary Top 40 radio stations were. And they sounded just fine!)
@@danielgolus4600 My understanding it was in the late 60's when underground rock stations came about.
As much as I always loved "Do you believe in magic?" I think this was their best song ever.
This brings back memories for me, vacationing in Munising, Mi in the upper peninsula.... hmm would have been summer of 1966. Nights I would sit out at the campground at Petes Lake with my 6 transistor radio listening to CKLW Windsor or one of the Chicago powerhouse stations play the hits like some of the new Motown records. Great times... thanks for the memories!
"Summer In The City" by The Lovin' Spoonful hit the #1 spot on The Billboard charts for three weeks. This is the original mono mix like it was heard on AM radio stations. Released on Kama Sutra Records in 1966.
Thanks Allen.
I was 22 what a time..
I was only 4 years old when I first heard it on my AM transistor radio.
I'm 22 now
I was only 8 when this song first came out. I am now 61. Boy oh boy where did the time go? Seems like 1966 was only yesterday!
I got married when this song was released 54 years later still together
today's music acts should listen and take notes.....
Yes! This is the version I'm used to. I made a cd for myself of their 45's and it smokes any store bought cd by a long shot. Mono is the way these were meant to be heard
I've got this 45 as well as "Do You Belive In Magic",both of which are perfect examples of hot mixing. They are without a doubt two of the most powerful ones I've got.
I didn't grow up in the 60's but I grew up listening to 45s and vinyl. We have this 45 and I always loved this mix of the song, I have the mono LP mix on Hums Of The Lovin' Spoonful and this 45 mix beats it with it's clarity and power. Thanks for uploading these 45s, it is fun to discover songs I am unfamiliar with and I'm glad the songs I love can be heard as they were originally intended right on the internet.
M1Garandstudios Appreciate your comment! Yes, it is the mono mix found on the 45 that AM Top 40 radio stations played and for those who grew up during this time, this is the definitive hit version!
Listening to this today July 2022 on a hot sunny day here in the UK, and just as fantastic has even. Classic, Classic, Classic.
Played this over and over and its great fip..Bald Headed Lena.........still have my original mono Spoonful albums....play them often
brings back dam good memories!
STILL KICKS IT LIKE THE DAY IT WAS FIRST RELEASED - BEST IN MONO !! davedj
Love this Garrard pick-up more than life!
those were the days my friend
Love, love, love the song and the wonderful summer is finally here! It is in the 90's here in Toronto, Canada on the very first day of summer!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxox
" YEEEEEEEAH ! " Cousin Brucie
This record is extremely loud and distorted but at the same time it brings a nice nostalgic feeling to me.
I agree all your mono versions are way better and exactly as I
remember them!
YES, YES, YES!! Just like I remember it. Thanks!
C minor. Three flats. My favourite key. Loved this song since I was little tiny. Thank you.
+AIKevorkian But the chorus changes to Fmaj doesn't it?
Magique, Le temps ou l'on faisais de la vrais Musique.....
The summer of '66 to me was just another ordinary summer vacation from school. I was between third and fourth grade back then.
What a great summer it was. Freedom, not like now, we thought things were getting better. Yes, mono 45's nothing better.
Sounds INCREDIBLE!!!
WOW!
I listen to this song on my brothers craig 8 track stereo tape player he had in his 1965 Impala SS when I was 13 or 14 years old. I loved this song.
I just got my second copy of this 45. Good video.
Their only chart topper. It peaked at #1 for 3 weeks the week ending August 13, 1966.
SUMMER IN THE CITY / Cm
Hot town, summer in the city - Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity - Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world - Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night - Despite the heat it'll be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity - That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city - In the summer, in the city
Cool town, evening in the city - Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty - Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop - Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop
But at night it's a different world - Go out and find a girl
Hot town, summer in the city - Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity - Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead - Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world - Go out and find a girl
Great Song!!!!!
Thanks for all the 50s & 60s .. 70s songs love it all
Grew up with this great music
That very song got me expelled from high school for blowing up the PA system.
The hot summer of 1966 made people feel cranky and unhappy especially walking around New York City to and from work headed to the nearest subway to head home
I also became a Green Acres fan that year as well.
The song always make me think back to Die Hard With A Vengance
Boy! You've got such a collection... Thanks for sharing it!
I like that cartage.
Verano en la ciudad..me gusta..
Although we never got the 45 we got this song on an Oldies compilation album in late 1968:-)
Thank you for showing the debut dates. It helps me remember where and what I was doing during that time.
The hot summer day of 1966 awesome music memories
I've got both stereo and mono versions on a promo CD single for one of the Die Hard movies. The difference is startling.
I have this on one of they`re greateast hits albums also a Kama Sutra
debuted one week after my 8th birthday

Great memories
In the song they're complaining about it being to hot.Well I'll except that over the cold winter time.
Summer is coming ;)
Summer in the City of Lancaster, PA in 2014 is NOT the way summer should be! Temperatures are WAY below where they should be in the daytime! We're getting daytime highs that should actually be nighttime lows! At least we have the Lovin' Spoonful hit to remind us how summer should be.
marie Hiam And now Summer in Lancaster, PA in 2015 is the same way it was last year! Where's the real hot weather we should be having?
With summer fast approaching, Memorial Day Weekend kicking off the season, we have a celebration from 50 summers ago that still reverbs discreetly, especially with the traffic and jackhammer sound effects in the middle of the recording.
Are you enjoying Lancaster PA today?
still true about summer
