The Josh Alan Friedman 1988 single Thanksgiving at McDonald's in Times Square / Sleepwalk doesn’t explicitly state mono or stereo on the label or sleeve—and that’s typical for many indie or self-released 45s from the era.
However, based on:
-
The spoken-word nature of the A-side
-
The instrumental cover of Sleepwalk on the B-side
-
The recording and mixing credits at Dallas Sound Lab (a studio capable of stereo production)
…it’s likely that the record was cut in stereo, or at least electronically enhanced mono. That said, without a label indication or technical specs from the mastering engineer, we can’t confirm definitively.
