Nooooooo! I was going to say "at least they didn't dub Stop Look and Listen" 
but obviously I've just been lucky enough not to encounter that one. 
Incidentally, Jan Peerce's "Bluebird of Happiness" was also edited down for 
ten-inch. No great loss..hope they cut it down to fifteen seconds.

Yeah, "Stop" has one of my favorite Freeman solos and I had never encountered any of these edited versions before.
It was issued on Victor 25767 but what halfwit decided to use it on a 45RPM reissue?
