    As per Steve's suggestion in the Zager & Evans In the Year 2525 thread:

    A few years ago I heard a slightly different version of Sugar Sugar (is there supposed to be a comma in there?) on Dick Bartley's radio show. IIRC it had a longer intro. I am not sure if it was a custom made mix. Any clues?

    (BTW, my wife told me that when she was a kid she HATED the way Betty (?) sang "Put a little sugar on it baby" because she sang it like she was too cool. ah, memories

    Once on the radio in the 1970's I heard a mix of "Sugar Sugar" that didn't fade out where it was supposed to, but kept going and going. I've tried in vain to find that version.

    Does anyone know of it?

    Guys,

    There is also a long "Dance Mix" type version with an OD'ed vocal chorus that Bartley plays on his program. Grant is familar with this, I believe.

    Steve, who does play the keyboards?

    Bob:)


    (The musician sheet states JEFF BARRY) SH

    If I can remember, i'll email Ron Dante and see if he can shed any light on this. Anyone know how to get a hold of the producer Jeff Barry?

    BTW, did you all know that was actually Ron's voice doing the vocals on the followup single "Jingle Jangle"?

    Did you guys know there was a quad version? It's pretty rare. Maybe that is the one you heard.
