Wow, it took three different countries getting involved here, to get to the bottom of this one! Thanks Oddbjorn, David and Todd! I always thought, that for a 1957 recording, that the song had exceptionally amazing fidelity!

Oddbjorn was gratious enough to send me a 45 dub, and I too conclude the song on Best of the Mercury Years is the single, only with the cymbal fade held longer before fade-out.]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 16:32:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2795&PID=13017&title=ralph-martiere-shishkebab#13017 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2795&PID=12995&title=ralph-martiere-shishkebab#12995 Author: Oddbjorn

Thanks to Jim for the mp3 of the CD-version. I have done a compare and the difference in length (0:06) is due to a longer fade (the CD has a lo-o-ong fade compared to the 45). In my ears the rest of the song seems to be identical. However, to verify that the rest of the song really IS identical, I will do a mp3 of the single and send it over to Todd, so he can do a comapare with a suitable software (I have done it manually). ]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2007 16:14:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2795&PID=12995&title=ralph-martiere-shishkebab#12995 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2795&PID=12914&title=ralph-martiere-shishkebab#12914 Author: jimct

Todd, I have already sent an mp3 to Oddbjorn, to compare against his original 45, and I'm sure he will soon be reporting his findings to us.]]> Sat, 24 Nov 2007 11:37:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2795&PID=12914&title=ralph-martiere-shishkebab#12914 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2795&PID=12911&title=ralph-martiere-shishkebab#12911 Author: Todd Ireland

I also have Ralph Martiere's Best of the Mercury Years CD, which is long out-of-print and very hard to find. If anyone has the 45 and would like me to send me an mp3 of it to make a direct comparison to the CD, send me a private message and I'll give you my e-mail address.]]> Sat, 24 Nov 2007 11:28:39 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2795&PID=12911&title=ralph-martiere-shishkebab#12911 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2795&PID=12866&title=ralph-martiere-shishkebab#12866 Author: jimct

Bjorn, I don't own the original 45 like you do, but I do have his "Best Of The Mercury Years" CD. If you like, send me a Private Message. (This is an available option in the upper right corner of the Chat Board screen.) Include your e-mail address in your message. I will then send you an e-mail, including an mp3 file of my CD version, for you to research/compare against your 45. In the past, we on this Board have been able to solve MANY song/version mysteries this way. ]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2007 17:58:07 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2795&PID=12866&title=ralph-martiere-shishkebab#12866 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2795&PID=12865&title=ralph-martiere-shishkebab#12865 Author: Oddbjorn

My vinyl US 45, Mercury 71092, states a run time of 2:25, actually runs 2:24. This is about 0:06 shorter than any US CD's in db. I do not have any of those CD's to check, but the 45 might be a different version, or just has a different pitch or length. Does anybody know?
