"Hi-Heel Sneakers" - Jose Feliciano

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   For anyone looking for the 1968 hit version of Jose Feliciano's "Hi-Heel Sneakers" on CD, I've found it on an Dutch import disc called Che Sara: His Greatest Hits on the Disky/Woodford Music label.  Jim was gracious as always to send me an mp3 of his 45 for comparison purposes.  I should note that the CD plays at a faster speed and fades out approximately :03 earier than the 45.  The CD is stereo, while the 45 is mono.  Unfortunately though, some heavy-handed noise-reduction was used on the CD, thus causing the high end frequencies to sound muddy and dull compared to the vinyl 45.

	Todd, the hit version of Hi-Heel Sneakers recently appeared in the US on the cd "Light My Fire: The Very Best Of Jose Feliciano" RCA/Legacy 704541. And yes it is faster than the 45 or LP. Edited by Pat Downey
