   Not much to report on this one; just documenting everything here.

LP and 45 version (5:12)

The oldest CD I have that includes the song is Atlantic's 10 From 6 (1985), where it sounds just fine.  Nice dynamic range, nice EQ, no evidence of noise reduction, nice long hissy fade, and what sounds like decent source tapes.  Amazingly, every other CD I have with the song is based on the mastering from 10 From 6!  The same analog transfer is used on:Time-Life's 2-CD Guitar Rock (1990, shortens tail of fade)
Time-Life's Sounds Of The Seventies Vol. 8 1975 (1990; differently-EQ'd digital clone)
Mystic Music/Warner Special Products' 2-CD Good Times (1991; differently-EQ'd digital clone)
Time-Life's 2-CD Rock Dreams (1993)
Time-Life's Guitar Rock Vol. 10 Classics (1994; digitally exactly 2.8 dB louder)
Westwood Promotions/Warner Special Products' 2-CD Seventies Party Mix (1996)
Razor & Tie's 2-CD Make You Sweat (1998)
Simitar's Stud Rock Heart Breakers (1998)
TVmusic4U/Warner Special Products' 2-CD Midnight Rock(2000)
Previously unreleased early fade (4:07)

JCI's 18 Rock Classics (1994) also uses the same analog transfer as Atlantic's 10 From 6 (1985), but fades early from 3:53 to 4:07.  This length wasn't released on record when the song was a hit in 1975.  Two other discs base their masterings on the JCI disc:JCI's Only Rock 'N Roll #1 Radio Hits 1975-1979 (1996)
Simitar's Number Ones Classic Rock (1998; too loud and clips a lot; avoid)
Promo 45 version (3:30)

I don't have a copy of this, and it's never appeared on CD.  Will gladly reverse-engineer it and post my findings, if someone would send me a copy.

My recommendation: For the LP/45 version, go with Atlantic's 10 From 6 (1985).  Everybody else did!
