Mary’s Boy Child (US single version)
~ Opname van Harry Belafonte
Aantekening
"Notes on Singles for RCA:
Alternate takes of Once Was and Mary's Boy Child chosen for release on single because of their shorter duration. The corresponding LP tracks are concert length. To encourage air-play by the disc jockeys of the day, single-play records were generally kept to within 3 minutes. This left the prerequisite windows for commercials and chat." – internet archive source
