What a Mess...

This is an attempt at a complete, comprehensive discography of stereo 45s issued in the United States between the years 1958 and 1961. We welcome additions and corrections. Both the major labels and smaller Independent labels issued stereo 45s. Columbia was a big exception for the majors, still stubbornly holding on to the 33-1/3 speed they introduced in 1948 and shunning their rival RCA's upstart 45 rpm speed.

During the years just after stereo was first demonstrated on vinyl disc (it had been available on reel-to-reel tape for several years before Audio Fidelity demonstrated the first stereo disc at Times Auditorium in New York City on December 13, 1957), the stereo single was pretty much experimental with about one stereo copy for every several hundred or even a thousand mono copies. Part of this was due to the higher cost of pressing up these special stereo disks, but also it was due to low demand by listeners. As stereo 45s were not compatible with mono 45s, expensive special stereo equipment was needed, which most households didn't have and couldn't afford. Basically, the general household of the late 1950s and early 1960s simply were not ready for the stereo 45.

If the households were not ready for it, neither were the record labels, who scrambled to launch "the next big thing." Were these things pressed and sold the same as mono singles? How shall we number them? Distribute them? Are they mostly for the new stereo juke boxes, or is there a commercial market?

There was little consistency to the releases across labels. Some companies used the same numbering system as the mono issues with just an "S" added to front or back of the number, or sometimes they couldn't make up their minds. In the case of ABC-Paramount, for example, they started with the S-9968 number, tried 45-9975S for a few issues, then finally settled on 45-S-9983 as their numbering format. Other companies had a special numbering system that differed completely from their mono counterparts, such as Dot, who started the 45-200 series for their stereo 45s, while mono counterparts were in the 15000 series. When a company just added an "S" to the mono counterpart for a stereo issue, it does not follow that all mono numbers from that series were issued in stereo, so the stereo discography often has gaps in the sequence.

Some companies had the same labels as the mono counterparts with a stereo overprint, such as Jamie, while other companies had a special label design for their stereo issues, such as Original Sound. Some labels, such as Capitol, used the same design but changed colors for the stereo version. Most stereo singles had mono counterparts, but both RCA and Roulette had stereo 45 series with no mono counterparts. And Roulette even changed one of their stereo 45 series to stereo 33s, using a continuation of the same stereo numbering sequence. What confusion for discographers!

Some record companies also printed up custom stereo sleeves for their stereo 45s (several examples of stereo sleeves are presented on this page). Apparently, some companies (like Warner Bros, shown at right), were caught off guard and used their stereo EP sleeves for early stereo single releases. Others, like Brunswick, even used the stereo EP blanks for labels (below, left).

The major labels seem to focus on issuing classical, jazz and adult contemporary popular male or female vocalists on the stereo 45. The majors generally ignored Rock And Roll, Rockabilly and Rhythm and Blues for stereo 45 releases. For example, artists such as Eddie Cochran (Liberty), Gene Vincent (Capitol), Buddy Knox (Roulette), Jimmy Bowen (Roulette), and Frankie Lymon (Roulette) all recorded in stereo for companies that released stereo 45s during this period, and they had single releases during the stereo 45 era, but had no stereo 45s issued. There were several reasons for this. First, the R&R, R&B and rockabilly artists were often still recording in mono (or having their recordings mixed to mono), so no stereo masters may have been available. This was the case for RCA Victor's biggest star Elvis Presley during 1958 and 1959, because most of Presley's pre-Army singles had either been recorded in mono or had only been mixed to mono at that time (some have been mixed to stereo years later). There was also research by record companies that indicated that the teenagers of the time didn't have the money or interest that adults had to purchase the stereo 45s. For these reasons, executives generally aimed the fledgling stereo 45s at the adult market, just as they did the stereo albums of the time.


About this Discography

This discography started as an article in Goldmine Magazine by Mike Callahan in 1979. Much research has been done since that article, by both Mike and Tom Reed, along with many others whose names appear at the bottom of this page, to bring the discography to its current state. As we've mentioned, we invite additions and corrections at the link below.

In order to be listed, a stereo single had to be issued commercially and in the standard 45 format (7" record with a "big hole"). Compact 33 stereo singles and jukebox stereo singles (with small hole) are covered in part 2 of this discography. 7" stereo extended play releases and any other odd formats are not included, with the exception of the Roulette series that started as stereo 45s, but changed to stereo 33s. Releases outside the United States are added as noted, but the non-US list at the bottom of this discography is not meant to be comprehensive.

Items in the discography below with "(U)" after the number are unconfirmed as to their actual release. They have been listed in Billboard or other guides as a stereo 45, but we have not verified their actual release. We would appreciate your notifying us if you can verify they actually exist.

The Billboard designations of stereo single availability was, shall we say, somewhat less than fastidiously accurate. Whoever did the listings, it was apparently an "other duties as assigned" kind of thing. Mistakes were made, and once the mistake was made, it followed that song every week until it left the charts; they were never corrected. For example, Columbia, who put out only stereo-33s, was listed some weeks as having stereo-45s. Weeks would go by with no new reporting, then all of a sudden lots of "new" singles would appear. And I suspect that some of the "phantom" stereo singles are mistakes from misreading the reporter's notes. For example, King Records reported Ruby Wright's "Three Stars" availability as a stereo single (it was not indicated as such on the Hot 100), but the availability being assigned instead to Tommy Dee's bigger hit of the same name. Likewise with King's version of Ruby Wright's "Goodbye, Jimmy, Goodbye" accidentally being assigned to the more popular Kathy Linden version. Ella Fitzgerald's "Mack the Knife" stereo-33 was accidentally reported as a stereo- 45, and on and on. After chasing phantom singles for over 50 years, sometimes you just conclude it was a mistake.

That said, because of the really small numbers of each of these singles released, especially starting in 1960, some actual releases may never turn up today. For that reason, we have not listed the 1960-61 singles with the designation "(U)" even if we've never seen a copy, unless there is a compelling reason to believe they were not issued. We have turned up few copies of the stereo 45s of 1960-61 other than those released on RCA or Mercury.

Songs noted as "(E)" in the list below are known to be rechanneled on the stereo single. We would also appreciate notification if any additional songs on stereo 45s are rechanneled.

We would appreciate any additions or corrections to this discography. Just send them to us via e-mail. Both Sides Now Publications is an information web page. We are not a catalog, nor can we provide the records listed below. We have no association with any of these record labels.

Label Scan	Number - Artist - Songs - [Mono Number, if different] - (First listing in Hot 100 as stereo 45)
	ABC-Paramount "Full Frequency Stereo" Standard ABC-Paramount black label with silver print and multi-color logo. Both sides of the special stereo sleeve are shown at left.
	The Cliff Richard stereo single "Living Doll" was announced in a pre-release advertisement, but was probably not issued, possibly because the master ABC-Paramount got from England was unexpectedly mono. The stereo 45 of "Lady Luck" might be the only place to get the song in stereo, but nobody we know has ever found a copy. Lloyd Price's "Come Into My Heart" and "Wont'cha Come Home" are both true stereo on the stereo-45, and rarely found elsewhere in stereo. All the 1960 ABC-Paramount stereo singles are quite rare. ABC-Paramount 1958: S-9968 - Eydie Gorme - Who's Sorry Now/Toot Toot Tootsie, Goodbye [rel. 12/58] S-9971 - Eydie Gorme - The Voice In My Heart/Separate Tables [rel. 12/58] 45-9975S - Ferrante And Teicher - Aflame/How High The Moon [rel. 12/58] 45-9976S - The Keymen - Like Help Man/Sentimental Journey [rel. 12/58] 45-9977S - The Keymen - Miss You/Isle Of Capri [rel. 12/58][Electrola STE 21 132 (Ger)] 45-S-9983 - Teddy Randazzo - It's Magic/Richer Than I [rel. 12/58] 45-S-9987 - Paul Anka - (All Of A Sudden) My Heart Sings/That's Love [rel. 12/58] 45-S-9988 - De Castro Sisters - Teach Me Tonight Cha Cha/The Things I Tell My Pillow [rel. 12/58] [Electrola STE 21 130 (Ger)] 1959: 45-S-9972 - Lloyd Price - Stagger Lee/You Need Love [Electrola STE 21101 (Ger)] 45-S-9990 - Candido In Indigo - Blue Prelude/Softly, But Blue 45-S-9996 - Johnny Nash - As Time Goes By/The Voice Of Love (5/18/59) 45-S-9997 - Lloyd Price - Where Were You (On Our Wedding Day)?/Is It Really Love 45-S-10005 - Steve Lawrence - Only Love Me/Loving Is A Way Of Life 45-S-10006 - Eydie Gorme - I'm Yours/Don't Take Your Love From Me 45-S-10008 - Eydie Gorme & Steve Lawrence - Sentimental Me/You Can't Be True Dear 45-S-10009 - George Hamilton IV - The Steady Game/Can You Blame Us 45-S-10,011 - Paul Anka - I Miss You So/Late Last Night (5/18/59) 45-S-10,018 - Lloyd Price - Personality/Have You Ever Had The Blues (5/18/59) 45-S-10,022 - Paul Anka - Lonely Boy/Your Love (6/1/59) 45-S-10,032 - Lloyd Price - I'm Gonna Get Married/Three Little Pigs (8/10/59) 45-S-10,040 - Paul Anka - Put Your Head On My Shoulder/Don't Ever Leave Me (8/31/59) 45-S-10,042 (U) - Cliff Richard - Living Doll/Apron Strings 45-S-10,058 - Steve Lawrence - Pretty Blue Eyes/You're Nearer (11/23/59) 45-S-10,062 - Lloyd Price - Come Into My Heart/Wont'cha Come Home (10/26/59, 11/9/59) 45-S-10,064 - Paul Anka - It's Time To Cry/Something Has To Change (11/23/59) 1960: 45-S-10,075 (U) - Lloyd Price - Lady Luck/Never Let Me Go (2/1/60, 3/7/60) 45-S-10,082 - Paul Anka - Puppy Love/Adam And Eve (2/22/60) 45-S-10,085 - Steve Lawrence - Footsteps/You Don't Know 45-S-10,132 - Paul Anka - Hello Young Lovers/I Love You In The Same Old Way (9/19/60, 9/19/60) 45-S-10,134 - Jo Ann Campbell - Kookie Little Paradise/Bobby, Bobby, Bobby (9/19/60) 45-S-10,135 - Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind/Carry Me Back To Old Virginny (10/17/60) 45-S-10,141 - Ray Charles - Them That Got/I Wonder (2/6/61) 45-S-10,147 - Paul Anka - Summer's Gone/I'd Have To Share (10/17/60) 45-S-10,168 - Paul Anka - The Story Of My Love/Don't Say You're Sorry (2/6/61)
	Abner Grey label with black print, like Abner stereo LPs. The singles are true stereo. "Hey Little Girl" on the stereo single is the full-length 45 version in stereo, unlike the album master, which is the same take, but fades about 15 seconds earlier.
	Abner 1959: S1026 - Dee Clark - Just Keep It Up/Whispering Grass (5/25/59) SR-1029 - Dee Clark - Hey Little Girl/If It Wasn't For Love (9/21/59)
	Ace The standard mono label is shown. The single below was reported to Billboard as available as a stereo single, but we have never seen a copy. Ace actually did record in stereo in 1959, so it's not impossible that this could have been a stereo single; we just haven't come across a copy.
	Ace 1959: 567 (U) - Jimmy Clanton - My Own True Love/Little Boy In Love (8/24/59)
	Alhambra Yellow label with black print. The single below had two different artists on the two sides of the record.
	Alhambra 1958: 370 - Kurt Jensen & The Starlight String Ensemble/Al Stefano & His Latin Orchestra - I Gave My Heart To You/Let Me Love You Tonight
	Andex The standard red mono label is shown. Like its sister label, Keen, the stereo single released in 1958 was issued on blue vinyl.
	Andex 1958: 5-4024 - Rene Bloch Orchestra - Frenesi/Wa-Pa-Cha [Blue vinyl]
	Atco Blue label with silver print. The version of "Plain Jane" on the stereo 45 is not the same "ping pong" stereo mix on the Bobby Darin album, but a 2-track mix with vocals and instruments separated and reverb added. A rumor that "Poison Ivy" was also issued on stereo 45 is unsubstantiated.
	Atco 1959: SD-45-6132 - The Coasters - Charlie Brown/Three Cool Cats SD-45-6133 - Bobby Darin - Plain Jane/While I'm Gone
	Bel Canto Black label with silver print. These were actually issued before September, 1958, and were considered the first stereo singles by any label.
	Bel Canto June, 1958: 45-01 - Larry Fotine & His Orchestra - Almost Square/Little Bird 45-02 - Larry Fotine & His Orchestra - Bye Bye Blues/The Breeze 45-03 - Larry Fotine & The Beale Street Buskers - Plain Vanilla/Charleston Forever 45-04 - Larry Fotine & The Beale Street Buskers - Monkey Shine/Chicken Rag
	Bethlehem Yellow label with black print or blue label with silver print. The Dick Stabile sides were recorded in 1955, and the single was released on the yellow label. "Porgy" (later reissued as "I Loves You Porgy") was released on the blue label. It was also in stereo on an early stereo LP. A constant cymbal brush sounds very much like surface wear on this record, but it is not.
	Bethlehem 1959: 45-11004 - Dick Stabile & His Orchestra - Poor Butterfly/Without A Song 45-11021 - Nina Simone - Porgy [later reissued as "I Loves You Porgy"]/Love Me Or Leave Me (8/24/59)
	Big Top Black label with silver print. Although the first single was rechanneled, the second (3029) is true stereo and very collectable. Furthermore, "Paradise" exists in true stereo from an unknown source, presumed to be a stereo 45, but its existence is unconfirmed.
	Big Top 1959: 45-3016 - Sammy Turner - Lavender Blue (E)/Wrapped Up In A Dream (E) (7/6/59) 45-3029 - Sammy Turner - Always/Symphony 1960: 45-3032 (U) - Sammy Turner - Paradise/I'd Be A Fool Again
	Brunswick Black label with silver print, like the stereo LPs. Brunswick used the EP stereo label blank for the single, the only one issued by the label.
	Brunswick 1959: 7-98063 - Jackie Wilson - You Better Know It/Never Go Away [9-55149] (9/21/59)
	Buena Vista Standard black mono label with silver print shown. The two singles below are from Walt Disney movies.
	Buena Vista 1959: 334 - The Commanders (Sleeping Beauty Soundtrack) - Once Upon A Dream/Sing A Smiling Song 335 - Camarata (Grand Canyon Suite Soundtrack) - On The Trail/Trumpeter's Prayer
	Cameo Orange label with silver print, mono label shown at left. The single below was listed in some catalogs, but it was unlikely to have been actually released in stereo. Cameo did record some things in stereo as early as 1958, but Bobby Rydell's hit recordings were generally done at Reco Art studios, which only had mono equipment at the time.
	Cameo 1959: 167 (U) - Bobby Rydell - Kissin' Time/You'll Never Tame Me
	Capitol The first stereo single releases by Capitol, issued in late April, 1959, had a red label with silver print, with Capitol logo on top. The label had the same design as the old 1950s purple label, but with a different color. After the first six singles released, S4168-S4193 below, Capitol released two more soon after (S4167, S4194), then waited until November, 1959, to release three more.
	Most or all of the first batch of Capitol stereo 45s were also issued as stereo DJ singles, using a white label with black print.
	Capitol April-May, 1959: S4167 - The Kingston Trio - Tijuana Jail/Oh Cindy (5/18/59) S4168 - Johnny Otis Show - Castin' My Spell/Telephone Baby S4176 - Ray Anthony - The Bunny Hop/Walkin' To Mother's S4184 - Nat "King" Cole - You Made Me Love You/I Must Be Dreaming (5/25/59) S4189 - Peggy Lee - Hallelujah, I Love Him So/I'm Lookin' Out the Window S4192 - Ronnie And Roy - Here I Am/Big Fat Sally S4193 - Bobby Hammack - Little Child/Rhythm S4194 - Earl Holliman - Wanna Kiss You To-Night/I'm In The Mood For Love
	Three more stereo single releases came out in November, 1959. They had a gold label with black print, with the Capitol logo on the left side of the center hole. This resembled the new Capitol purple label design introduced about that time.
	Stereo DJ versions of these three had silver labels with black print.
	Capitol November, 1959: S4301 - Nat King Cole - The Happiest Christmas Tree/Buon Natale S4302 - Tennessee Ernie Ford - Love Is The Only Thing/Sunny Side Of Heaven S4303 - The Kingston Trio - Coo Coo-U/Green Grasses
	Carlton Standard tan Carlton label with black print. Special stereo sleeve shown at left. At least some copies of 512 are not marked stereo on the label, but play in true stereo and have "ST" in the runout groove area. "Starry Eyed" was rechanneled on the Gary Stites album, so if that single exists, it is likely to be rechanneled.
	Carlton 1959: 508 - Gary Stites - Lonely For You/Shine That Ring (6/8/59) 512 - Anita Bryant - Til There Was You/Little George (Got The Hiccoughs) (6/29/59) 514 - Jack Scott - The Way I Walk/Midgie (6/29/59) 516 - Gary Stites - A Girl Like You/Hey Little Girl (7/20/59) 518 - Anita Bryant - Six Boys And Seven Girls/Blessings Of Love (10/26/59) 519 - Jack Scott - There Comes A Time [alternate version]/Baby Marie [added stereo percussion] (10/12/59) 521 (U) - Gary Stites - Starry Eyed/Without Your Love (11/3/59) 523 - Anita Bryant - Promise Me A Rose/Do-Re-Mi (1/6/60) 1960: 527 - Monty Kelly & His Orchestra - Summer Set/Amalia (2/29/60) 528 - Anita Bryant - Paper Roses/Mixed Emotions (4/11/60)
	Carousel Standard blue Carousel label with silver print:
	Carousel 1959: C-144 - Jimmy Carroll - Angelina/Anita [C-44] C-366 - Ziggy Lane - Have You Read the Bible, Today?/The Good Life [C-66] C-466 - Good Fortune Cookies/Artie Malvin & The Sand Pipers - Children's Marching Song/Tom Thumb's Tune
	Chancellor Early issues used the standard early pink Chancellor label with black print: "I'm a Man" has been reported to be a stereo single, but is not confirmed. Chancellor stereo singles we have heard have all been true stereo.
	Chancellor 1959: S-C 1029 (U) - Fabian - I'm A Man/Hypnotized S-C 1031 - Frankie Avalon - Venus/I'm Broke (5/18/59) S-C 1033 - Fabian - Turn Me Loose/Stop Thief (5/18/59) S-C 1036 - Frankie Avalon - Bobby Sox To Stockings/A Boy Without A Girl (5/25/59, 5/25/59)
	Later Chancellor issues used the new standard black label with silver print.
	Chancellor 1959 (continued): 45-C1037 - Fabian - Tiger/Mighty Cold (To A Warm Warm Heart) (6/8/59) 45-S-C1040 - Frankie Avalon - Just Ask Your Heart/Two Fools [alternate version] (8/31/59) 45-S-C1041 - Fabian - Come On And Get Me/Got The Feeling [alternate version] (9/7/59, 9/21/59) 45-S-C1044 - Fabian - Hound Dog Man/This Friendly World (11/16/59, 11/23/59) 45-S-C1045 - Frankie Avalon - Why/Swingin' On A Rainbow (11/23/59, 12/21/59) 1960: 45-S-C1047 - Fabian - String Along/About This Thing Called Love (2/22/60, 2/29/60) 45-S-C1056 - Frankie Avalon - Togetherness/Don't Let Love Pass Me By (10/17/60, 10/17/60)
	Concert-Disc The Concert-Disc label was gold with black print. Concert-Disc, located in Wilmette, Illinois, was originally a stereo tape label (Concertapes). A May, 1959, advertisement promoted ten stereo 45s drawn from their albums. No artists or song titles were listed.
	Concert -Disc 1959 WEB-2001 - Mike Simpson & His Big Band - "C" Jam Blues/Lover JS-2002 - Jay Norman Quintet - It's Alright With Me/Taking A Chance On Love WEB-2006 - Mike Simpson & His Big Band - Take The "A" Train/Cherokee WEB-2010 - Mike Simpson & His Big Band - Take It Easy Mambo/The Cricket
	Colpix Standard gold Colpix label with black print. The single is true stereo.
	Colpix 1959 SCP - 119 - Jimmy Darren - Angel Face/I Don't Wanna Lose Ya (8/24/59)
	Command Standard grey Command label with black print.
	Command 1959 RS 5002 SD - The Dixie Rebels starring "Big Jeb" Dooley - South Rampart Street Parade/Basin Street Blues
	Contemporary White label mono copy with black print is shown. "Stereo Records" was the stereo arm of Contemporary Records.
	Contemporary 1959 Stereo Records S-806 - Shelly Manne - Peter Gunn/Slow And Easy [Contemporary C45-367] [rel. 2/59]
	Counterpoint The Counterpoint label was dark red with silver print. The single noted that it was "compatible stereo," playing both in stereo and mono. A story in the December 29, 1958 Billboard noted that the company said "Both sides have been gimmicked to emphasize stereo sound."
	Counterpoint 12/1958 CPT 12-010 - Serena Shaw - Angela/What's Love
	Crest Standard blue mono label with silver print is shown: The single below was reported in Billboard as available on stereo 45, but existence is questionable. The listing may be a mixup due to "Three Stars" by Ruby Wright being reported as available on a stereo single by King Records. The Ruby Wright version charted a few weeks before Billboard started noting stereo singles, so notes on what was available may have been misinterpreted.
	Crest 1959: 1057 (U) - Tommy Dee - Three Stars/I'll Never Change (5/18/59)
	Decca Black label with silver print, mono label shown. "Wonderland By Night" may be a mixup with a stereo-33 (Decca was not known to issue stereo-45s during that time), or it may be an error due to the stereo-45 of the Louis Prima version being reported.
	Decca 1960: 7-31141 (U) - Bert Kaempfert & His Orchestra - Wonderland By Night/Dreaming Time Blues (11/28/60)
	DeLuxe Blue label with silver print.
	De Luxe 1959: 45-S-6185 - Otis Williams & His Charms - Tears Of Happiness/I Knew It All The Time 45-S-6187 - Otis Williams & His Charms - Blues Stay Away From Me/Funny What True Love Can Do

They could be numbers higher than 227 in the S-200 series, or they may not have been issued at all. Dot 1960 (continued): 16103? (U) - Dodie Stevens - No/A Tisket, A Tasket [16103] (9/19/60) 16133?

	Felsted Orange label with black print, mono label shown. This single was listed as available on Billboard's Hot 100, but has not been found after extensive searching. It was probably an error due to the Ruby Wright version of the song (which didn't chart) being reported as available on stereo-45 by King Records.

	M-G-M
	Issued as a special stereo DJ 45 with a blue label/silver print. This was issued in September, 1958, as a demonstration disc to disc jockeys only. It came with a special promotional pink picture sleeve with black printing stating: "MGM Records is FIRST with a SINGLE STEREO DISC." While technically, this was not true, as Bel Canto had released stereo singles before this, MGM's promo disc was the first stereo single from the major labels, edging out RCA-Victor's release of Perry Como's "Mandolins In The Moonlight" by mere days. This single was also later issued commercially with the assigned number SK-50109 with the standard yellow label with black printing.

Stereo was indicated to the left of the center hole. "Bulldog" (2026) on a stereo single was reported to Billboard, but remains a phantom, as its existence has not been confirmed even after extensive searching. If it exists, it may have the red label. It has not been released in true stereo elsewhere, so it may have been cancelled because no true stereo master was available.
	Later issues (2031 and above) used the gold and white label with black print and the red logo, but the stereo notation was moved to the left under the logo in much smaller letters.

	20th Fox Standard blue and white 20th Fox "clouds" label with black print. The Al Martino single is true stereo. The Harry Simeone reissue is probably rechanneled. Although 20th Fox re-recorded the song in stereo, this was not done until the early 1960s.
	20th Fox 1959: 45-132 - Al Martino - I Can't Get You Out Of My Heart/Two Hearts Are Better Than One (6/29/59) 45-121 [reissue] - The Harry Simeone Chorale - The Little Drummer Boy/Die Lorelei (12/14/59)
	Unart Black and silver label. The single is rechanneled.
	Unart 1959: UR-2013S - The Falcons - You're So Fine (E)/Goddess Of Angels (E) (5/25/59)
	United Artists The earliest stereo 45 below had a light blue label with black print:
	"King Size Guitar" had a red label with black print: "Exodus" may have the black United Artists label, since by that time they had changed label designs.
	United Artists 1959: UA 1154 - The Wild-Cats - Gazachstahagen (E)/Billy's Cha Cha (E) UA 1169 - The Wild-Cats - King Sized Guitar/Dancing Elephants 1960: UA 1274 - Ferrante and Teicher - Exodus/Twilight (11/28/60)
	Vee-Jay Grey label with black print.
	Vee-Jay 1959: SR-309 - Wade Flemons - Hold Me Close/You'll Remain Forever
	Verve Standard black Verve label with silver print, but a large "STEREOPHONIC" banner appears across the bottom of the label: The items below marked (U) were inferred from the mono series and missing stereo numbers, but are unconfirmed.

	Although "Mack the Knife" by Ella Fitzgerald was reported in Billboard to have been issued on a stereo 45, this was apparently an error. It was released in April, 1960, as a stereo-only 7" 33-1/3 rpm stereo single with no mono counterpart. It may have been planned as one of the two missing numbers (741, 742) above, but changed at the last minute.
	Verve 1960: Verve VS-902 - Ella Fitzgerald - Mack The Knife/Cool Breeze (5/2/60)
	Warner Bros. Gold label with black print. Warner used stereo EP sleeves for the stereo 45 singles. The WB stereo 45s we've heard have been true stereo. The promo of S 5145, at least, is on gold vinyl.

	Warwick Standard red Warwick label with black print. The "Red River Rock" stereo single is rechanneled. "Reville Rock" has appeared later in true stereo, so it is possible that was stereo on the single below.
	Warwick 1959: M 509ST - Johnny & The Hurricanes - Red River Rock (E)//Buckeye (E) (8/24/59) M 513ST - Johnny & The Hurricanes - Reville Rock/Time Bomb (11/3/59)
	World Pacific First label is gold with black print, with "STEREO" in block letters above the company logo. This label was used for 101-106 and 108-110.
	The second label is also gold with black print, but "Stereo Phonic" is in decorative letters above the company logo. This label was used for 107, and for 111 and later.

This discography is not comprehensive.
	Apex (Canada) Blue label with silver print. Stereo sleeve also shown at left. The mono pressing has a maroon/silver label.
	Apex Apex Records was a major label and record company in Canada. Their heyday was the 1950s and 1960s.

Once such label they distributed was Roulette Records. They issued this Jimmie Rodgers 45 in stereo in June, 1959.
