Mark, I've found not every Ace package is true to the UK
45. My ears think Ace found an early-generation tape and
added reverb. Does anyone out there have a needledrop to
the UK 45 to see if I am right or wrong?

I am amazed at how most of the CD transfers of this
classic cut have a different "sound" from each other!

Any help or direction would be appreciated!

Interesting that when Creedence Clearwater Revival released
their version of the song that it was spelled as Suzie-Q
whereas Dale Hawkins released it as Susie-Q.]]> Mon, 28 Mar 2022 18:00:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6826&PID=60578&title=dale-hawkins-susieq#60578 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6826&PID=60577&title=dale-hawkins-susieq#60577 Author: davidclark

I just stumbled on to some new info about this song. I
just found that the hit 45 version has a lot of echo and reverb added,
but my own several CD rips are bone dry.

I was wondering if anyone has a 45 that is dry like the CD rips.
Our copy of Checker 863 has the echo and the dead wax is 45-8437.
I was also wondering if anyone has a CD that does have the echo and reverb.

These CDs in the database are dry:
(M) (2:17) MCA 5777 Vintage Music Volumes 1 & 2
(M) (2:16) Time-Life 2RNR-01 The Rock 'N' Roll Era -
1957

I'm not sure, but I think the dry master was found in the
vaults by Steve Hoffman when he did the MCA Vintage CDs. And I think that
master ended up on many CDs after that.

Anyway here's the dry version:

Here's the 45 with reverb and echo:

my commercial 45 for the dale hawkins song "susie-q" issued
as checker 863 does not state a run time on the label but
actually runs 2:15....the db has a wide range of run times
