(Most of the 45s shown here were hits in their day.) Only by collecting the original 45s can you be sure you've got the version of a song that was played on the radio at the time - in other words, the version that became a hit (or not as the case may be). These unique mixes and takes most often never again saw the light of day, as compilation albums done later opted for the LP version rather than seeking out the original single mix/take.
In other cases, the 45 was recorded and released first, and then the artist or producer/arranger did some tinkering or re-recording after the fact for the LP version. Throughout the history of Rock'n'Soul, producers and artists have tinkered with the mix of songs pressed to 45 rpm records, and in some cases decided to go back in the studio to completely re-record a song.
