I had the Jersey Beat box set and returned it, because one (can't remember which) of the discs wouldn't play.

Perhaps you heard the "disco" mix of the record? I am not
even sure if the hi hat effects you mention are in that
mix. I will have to some deep digging and listen soon. ]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2020 17:28:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4572&PID=56487&title=december-1963-oh-what-a-night#56487 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4572&PID=56484&title=december-1963-oh-what-a-night#56484 Author: VWestlife

Could the mix I heard be a quadraphonic version? 1975 was quite late for quad, but it's possible. Or maybe a dedicated 8-track/cassette mix? It's very difficult for vinyl to achieve good stereo separation at high frequencies, but tape doesn't have that problem, so maybe they only mixed the hi-hats together to mono for the LP/45 release.

The single version Aaron mentions can be found as a
lossless digital download on Pono, and the mp3 everywhere
else. However, currently, Pono is switching
distribution, so the store is off-line.]]> Mon, 15 Aug 2016 22:39:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4572&PID=46063&title=december-1963-oh-what-a-night#46063 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4572&PID=46052&title=december-1963-oh-what-a-night#46052 Author: crapfromthepast

I don't have the 1976 (LP) version on every CD listed in the database, but I'll detail what I do have:

The version on Warner Special Products' 2-CD Good Times (1991) sounds just OK. The same analog transfer is used for Warner Special Products's 2-CD 40 Summer Fun Hits (1993).

Bill Inglot did a much better analog transfer for Rhino's Four Seasons Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (1991). The same analog transfer is used for:

• Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 36 More AM Nuggets (1994; a little too loud and clips a tiny bit)
• Razor & Tie's 2-CD Super '70s (1995; tail of fade is truncated)
• Time-Life's AM Gold Vol. 23 1976 (1996; differently-EQ'd digital clone)
• Warner Special Products' Eighteen Disco Superhits (1996)
• Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 44 '70s Dance Party 1975-1976 (1997; differently-EQ'd digital clone)
• Time-Life's 2-CD Seventies Music Explosion Vol. 1 Sunshine (2005; digitally identical)

My recommendation for the LP version: Go with Rhino's Four Seasons Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (1991).

As long as it's from the Jersey Beat Rhino box set. That's the only place the correct 45 version appears.]]> Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:40:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4572&PID=32694&title=december-1963-oh-what-a-night#32694
