That's not true, Rich. As I mentioned, Bear Family released the correct version. They spliced in the missing section from the 78.

I own the box (I've Been Around) and it is now out of print. It is beautiful, the book is excellent and the track list is impeccable. However, the big caveat is that the mono tracks have a weird, narrow stereo processing which makes them all non-45 mixes by default. Very disappointing. |

I wound up using a dub of the This Is Fats Domino album cut and just edited in the word "made" and the beat following from later in the song (not "we"), and it works well enough.

Yeah, that's what I wonder. Although several people on 45 Cat report that their black label Imperial 45s (in use from '57 to '63) have the glitch, so it was likely not repaired until long after the song was off the charts. |

After listening to the flub version of Blueberry Hill, I was wondering if someone would try this. I know I sure wanted to until I read this post. Can I get a sampling of this by any chance? It's also interesting to me that this is the very first time I even knew of this splice issue. I guess I have just been unlucky enough to never hear the song in its original form. I was also surprised to learn this is how it sounded before the repairs were made. I've been around a while, but not long enough apparently. |

All,
Thanks for your help. It sounds like these versions aren't the 45-versions -- even the ones that aren't speeded up. Bad news for me. Mike |

Let me know if this doesn't work. My LP is a little grungy and there's a bit of wow right at the first edit but it's fine for my little online station.

Worked perfectly! I might do this myself now that I see it is worth the trouble. Thanks! |

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

I've just been going thru the Bear box set "I’ve Been Around - The Complete
Imperial & ABC-Paramount Recordings", and Ringmaster is right...the songs are not true mono. Nor are all the songs the correct 45 singles, this despite certain statements about the box being "the definitive". What another missed opportunity for a correct Fats collection. We simply don't have a release with all the correct singles (that I know of). A couple of examples that stood out: "I'm Walkin'" is missing the 45 reverb, "Bo Weevil" is too slow (this one STILL not on a CD in its proper 45 version!). Edited by davidclark |
