Every copy I have of this, LP or single, sounds *bleah*. I don't know for sure, but to me they all sound like they're taken from vinyl.
Does anybody know if a digital copy taken from the master tape has ever been released? I had a request for this and the best sources all seem muddy and crunchy at the same time.
I understand this isn't exactly a "classic" but if the song is annoying on its own merits I'd think a poor quality copy would drive listeners even further up the wall.
Your help is appreciated!!

Gene, I wish I had a nickel for every time I played a CD and thought to myself, "I think the 45 RPM record sounds better than the CD". In this case I compared my vinyl single and it sounds like its a couple generations better than Rodney's 'Greatest Bits'. The CD also sounds swishy. Out of phase, maybe? Maybe I'm getting picky in my old age. -Bill.

"Greatest Bits" not only sounds terrible, it seems to be folded to mono for no apparent reason.
