Hard To Find 45s On CD, Vol . 19

Re: Gerry Rafferty - Mark, I'll have to check the credits on the Varese Sarabande CD and see if it was licensed from Warner.

I dug through all 21 tracks on Vol. 19. As with Vol. 18, the sound is pretty much flawless. Mark definitely has his process down!

THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN - Joan Baez
Sounds kinda close to Warner Special Products/Sessions' 2-CD Freedom Rock (1987) but better EQ; lower-generation source tape?

THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS - Arlo Guthrie
Likely uses the same analog transfer as Rhino's Have A Nice Day Vol. 16

DUELING BANJOS - Eric Weissberg And Steve Mandell
The stereo LP version edited to mimic the mono 45, unavailable anywhere else

RAINBOW CONNECTION - Kermit
Likely based on mastering for Rhino's The Muppet Show: Music, Mayhem And More - The 25th Anniversary Collection but with fuller EQ

I'D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING - New Seekers
Not sure if based on the mastering for Rhino's Have A Nice Day Vol. 16; sound quality is comparable but with slightly fuller EQ

BIG YELLOW TAXI - Neighborhood
I don't have this anywhere else

YOU ARE THE ONE - Sugar Bears
Sounds great, compared to my scratchy LP. One of only two acts I can think of that were named after a breakfast cereal. (The other being Kix.)

BANG A GONG (GET IT ON) - T. Rex
Sounds significantly better than other US compilations, all of which seem to have their left and right channels slightly out of sync (high end disppears when summed to mono). This seems to use a lower-generation source tape, and has no desynchronization issues.

COULDN'T GET IT RIGHT - Climax Blues Band
Finally, the original mix on CD! (Listen for the absence of backing vocals in the first part of the song.) Sounds great, too!

ROUNDABOUT - Yes
Likely based on mastering for Highlights Very Best Of (1993), and edited to match 45

VEHICLE - Ides Of March
Likely uses the same analog transfer as Rhino's Have A Nice Day Vol. 16

I'VE GOT THE MUSIC IN ME - Kiki Dee Band
45 version here sounds better than the LP version on Rhino's Have A Nice Day Vol. 23. Lower-generation source tape?

EVERY 1'S A WINNER - Hot Chocolate
Likely based on mastering for Rhino's Have A Nice Day Vol. 22, but sped up a tiny bit (around 0.2%) and faded early. The Rhino version fixes the bad edit at 2:38 on the vinyl 45. This version keeps the fixed edit.

RIGHT DOWN THE LINE - Gerry Rafferty
This is the US 45 edit and speed. The Varese Sarabande Gerry Raffery singles CD had the proper edit, but ran at the US LP speed, which is too slow.

SUAVECITO - Malo
Likely based on mastering for Rhino's Didn't It Blow Your Mind Vol. 7

WHY CAN'T WE LIVE TOGETHER - Timmy Thomas
DES stereo! Neato!

JUST WHEN I NEEDED YOU MOST - Randy Vanwarmer
Likely uses the same analog transfer as Rhino's Billboard Top Hits 1979

GOODBYE GIRL - David Gates
Sound quality comparable to Rhino's Have A Nice Day Vol. 16, but not based on that disc's mastering

LOVE IS THE ANSWER - England Dan And John Ford Coley
Runs a teeny bit slower than other CDs by about 0.2% or 0.3%. Fade extends longer than other CDs, which is very good.

LOVE DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE - Rose Royce
45 version!

THE HUSTLE - Van McCoy
Likely based on mastering for Rhino's The Disco Years Vol. 1 but slowed down by about 0.5% and faded early

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

If the Eric CD is correct, then the US 45 of "Right Down The Line" is about 1.8% faster than the US LP.

	Re: Dueling Banjos - Mark, do you know the quality of the Deliverance soundtrack CDs? I never thought to buy one and edit "Dueling B" down. Of course, now I don't have to. But it would seem to me, there'd be some CD pressing of that album soundtrack that wasn't 10 generations down. Presumably just 1st or 2nd gen.

	How much slower is the version found on The Varese Sarabande Gerry Raffery singles CD for Right Down the Line? Is this the correct speed for it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLsaEHSHa5c Edited by Ron S
