Johnny & The Hurricanes - Beatnick Fly

   I just noticed on the mono version of this song, from the Rhino CD, the very first drumbeat is missing where it exists on the stereo version.  Anyone have the original 45 and/or stereo LP to check, then the database can be updated.

	On my original 45 (Warwick 520), there is a drum or cymbal beat, at the second note of the organ intro, that's at least as loud as the next three beats. On my CD version (from some long forgotten Disky set) which is mono, the first beat is obscured or cut, and is certainly not as sharp as the next three beats. It's noticeable, but could just be a poor source for the CD version.
