I bought three of the new CDs today at Tower -- Chubby, Bobby, and Dee Dee. From just a cursory listen in my car:

1. Mostly mono.

2. They have fixed the opening of "Swingin' School," which was clipped on the previously released VA box set.

3. "Slow Twistin'" on the Chubby Checker CD now appears to be the correct single version. The version on the box set omitted the sax break in favor of an extra verse. It seems to me the sax break is a bit short, but I might be remembering wrong -- I'll have to A/B it with my bootleg when I get home.

4. "Slow Twistin'" on the Dee Dee CD is her version that was featured on her album, not the single version -- a totally different recording with her on lead vocal.

thanks for the info guys. i can now get the dee dee sharp version of Slow
Twistin on disc! Anyone know if the Tymes Cd includes the small intros to
to the hit singles as on the original vinyl?
