    Posted: 18 February 2006 at 10:52am
Hi, all. I'm looking for some advice.

I have "I Gotcha" by Joe Tex on 3 separate CD's, but all have really REALLY murky sound. So much so, in fact, that on my compilation discs, it's really distracting. (This is also true on the CD's I have it on.)

My question: Does anybody know of a CD with this track that's "clear"? Any advice would be appreciated.

The discs I have it on are:
Soul Hits Of The 70's Volume 8
Sounds Of The Seventies - Seventies Top Forty
Soul Train - 1972

It sounds fine on my Can You Dig It box set. I remember hearing it also on the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack, and I don't recall thinking it sounded bad. I haven't heard the latter disc in years, though.

Guess what? The original Dial LP also sounds murky. I would say that the dull sound it the true sound.

Many CD producers like to boost the treble on songs.

Actually, Grant, that was my suspicion. Like with songs listed in the database with "poor stereo separation" on every CD they're on (Go All The Way, by the Raspberries, for example), I figure the original mix was bad to begin with.

Thanks to both you and aaronk for the replies. I don't think I'm gonna buy a whole box set just to try and get a good sounding version. I might check into the soundtrack, though.

That whole album must have been mixed with bright monitors set at high volume levels.

More than likely. But the other thing to keep in mind was that the released version of "I Gotcha" only had a scratch vocal performed by Joe on it. His producer Buddy Killen liked so much as it was that he went ahead and issued it just like that. Tex was supposedly really pissed about it, until it became a huge hit.

bringing this one to the front for a quick question, is the shorter 45 version an edit or a fades earlier than the LP length?

The song is all of 2:18. I don't think there's a shorter version of it anywhere.
