Yep, as would be expected!

It doesn't sound too different from the 45 mix.

Cheers

The Andantes are really prominent in this song. Does anyone know what grouping of the female singers were part of this song. I know in the earlier days, there were different female members before they settled on the Andantes that we know.

Probably the major [[if not only) reason The Andantes' voices are so prominent is that from The Tops, only Levi is singing. The others aren't on this mix.

Sounds distorted. But doesn't sound any different other than that. I still hear the tops in the background.

Yes the other Tops are there but pushed right back - the Andantes almost share lead with Levi on this mix

Exactly THIS! I'm so deaf, I didn't even hear them on first listen. I had to listen again seeking their voices to hear them faintly, while The Andantes are reasonably prominent. just behind Levi.
