I posted the following regarding the sound quality issue of "Naughty, Naughty" in the CD mastering flaws/glitches thread back in 2005:

John Parr - Naughty Naughty: On 18 Screamers from the 80's (JCI 3143) and 80's Rock Classics - Party Town (Simitar 55142), the sound quality is decent during the first 1:13 or so but then gradually becomes muffled as the song progresses. By the end of the song, the sound quality has degraded so badly that nearly all fidelity is lost! Obviously, a dreadfully inferior tape source was used here and anyone looking specifically for "Naughty Naughty" on CD should stay away from these discs. You can find the song in excellent, fully intact sound quality on John Parr (One Way 35176) and Greatest Hits of the 80's [Volume 7] (Platinum A26823)....

Hi all,

I can also add the V/A com titled "Greatest Hits Of The 80's" on Platinum Disc (Sony spec. prod.)also does not have this muffling effect. I'm glad because that was the first and only cd i found this on.
This one does not have the mastered-too-loud effect either, it is at a normal level.

I think the CD reissue of his self-titled album on One Way doesn't have the strange muffling that you mention above (which I first noticed on the "18 Screamers from the 80s" CD). But the s/t CD has other issues, mainly that it is mastered way too loud. I finally did a needledrop from a mint LP as well.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:10:03 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4172&PID=18616&title=naughty-naughty-john-parr#18616 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4172&PID=18614&title=naughty-naughty-john-parr#18614 Author: eriejwg

Abagon reports the actual commercial 45 run time of John Parr's "Naughty, Naughty" is 3:40, not 3:36 as stated on the record label.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 09:03:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4172&PID=18609&title=naughty-naughty-john-parr#18609
