In comparing the various CD appearances of "Galveston" I happen to have, I couldn't help notice there is a weird edit on the stereo mix. The
intro is spliced in from either a different mix or a narrowed copy of the wider stereo mix. Listen right around 15 seconds into the song
starting on the line "I still hear your sea winds blowing..." and you'll hear the soundstage of the mix suddenly gets wider and also the
speed/pitch lowers just a little bit and remains at that lower speed/pitch for the remainder of the song. It also seems that the intro and
the remainder past the edit point may also have different polarity.

I did attempt to correct this by widening the intro and inverting and speeding up the remainder past the edit point for my own library.
Happy to share my quick fix if anyone wants a listen.

I have this one as well. One of the first Glen discs I
ever had. Quite good. I have to say the "Classic
Collection" I mentioned above is just that a tad better
on the common tracks. It even beat out all the Bill
Inglot stuff on Rhino VA comps when I did an A/B
comparison which really impressed me.
A friend I shared the disc with informed me that even
the HDTracks versions of the songs don't sound as good
as they do on "Classic Collection" disc.
This disc was mastered by Glenn Meadows in Nashville.
No traces of noise reduction, either. Quite a
revelation on songs like "Wichita Lineman" and
"Galveston".

It's pretty bare-bones but I was very happily surprised
when I when I listened to this disc that I picked up in
the bargain bin. The sound on the hits is superb. I
have a sizable collection of Glen discs and VA comps
with his hits on them but this is easily the best I
have ever heard the original stereo mixes sound.
Definitely lowest generation tapes used and no remixing
or re-recording. I wish they could have put some more
songs on it but I'm very grateful that I have it now.
Highly recommended for a casual listener or a fan like
myself.

That's too bad about the B-side. Interesting that has
never been anywhere else except for the single. The info
on the CD said performed live,so I am taking that is
wrong info. No surprise about info being wrong? Horrors!

That's an incorrect assumption, Gary. Glen recorded "William Tell Overture" in the studio twice, a dozen years apart, and both versions were issued as 45 B-sides. In addition to the 1977 "Southern Nights" flip Santi already mentioned, an updated performance backed the Universal Records 66024 release of Glen's "She's Gone, Gone, Gone," which proved to be his final top-ten hit, reaching #6 on Billboard's country chart in 1989. This single was released in advance of the "forthcoming" Walkin' In The Sun album, which included both sides and did see a CD release.

The 1977 and 1989 versions are within two seconds of each other, timing-wise, and the tempos are pretty much the same. The most apparent differences mirror those that were raised in the original post: the '89 remake eschewed the orchestral backing, instead emphasizing the percussion and bass. It's very much in the late-'80s production style.

Both are definitely worth having, even if the first one remains AWOL on CD.

The Glen Campbell Collection a double CD release from
1997 has the William Tell Overture B side on the second
CD. A hard to find song only on a few releases. This
might be the first time I have seen it on CD. Not 100%
sure on that. For the most part the songs sound very
good, but no mono singles cuts all stereo. But hopefully
one day....]]> Thu, 10 Aug 2017 18:07:03 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6085&PID=47872&title=glen-campbell-greatest-hits#47872 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6085&PID=47870&title=glen-campbell-greatest-hits#47870 Author: Santi Paradoa

Would love to see his version of the "William Tell Overture" finally get a CD release. It was the flip side of the "Southern Nights" 45. Glen was an underrated guitarist and one heck of an entertainer. R.I.P.
