I cant Stand it

 

Anybody know which is the best version of this. I'd like it on a 45.

 

Cheers, Dave

Seen ads saying album version is the one to have but seen other one for sale as well ?

I think it is the album version and the european 45 releases or one of them.  German multi coloured one?

The US (& French) 45 version of "I Can't Stand It" were released around April / May 67 and are timed at 2:38. 

The group's big hit 45 was released twice in the US (1967 & 1968) but didn't have "I Can't Stand It" as the B side on either.

This track formed the A side of a separate US 45.

I believe the album version was slightly edited (2:33) and released (in Nov 68) on a German 45 as the B side there to "Time Has Come Today".

Listened to them and I preferred the French. Just saying...

There was a thread on this a while back & a lot of people claimed the French release sounded "weak/tinny" & the worst of the 45 releases. I have the French release & to me it sounds no different. At the end of the day go with what your ears tell you.

Not tinny at all.

 

In fact, the opposite, it sounded meaty when I played it out.

exactly Gary that's what I'm saying, some claimed it was tinny on the other thread but it sounds, as you say meaty.

Certainly when I used to play it it got a good reaction.

Said this before,maybe at home comparing the two you can tell the difference but out you'd do well to tell the difference?
