I just stumbled on to some new info about this song. I
just found that the hit 45 version has a lot of echo and reverb added, but my own several CD rips are bone dry. I was wondering if anyone has a 45 that is dry like the CD rips. Our copy of Checker 863 has the echo and the dead wax is 45-8437. I was also wondering if anyone has a CD that does have the echo and reverb. These CDs in the database are dry: (M) (2:17) MCA 5777 Vintage Music Volumes 1 & 2 (M) (2:16) Time-Life 2RNR-01 The Rock 'N' Roll Era - 1957 I'm not sure, but I think the dry master was found in the vaults by Steve Hoffman when he did the MCA Vintage CDs. And I think that master ended up on many CDs after that. Anyway here's the dry version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olPDCBhi8SQ Here's the 45 with reverb and echo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxxWkyKqxBQ MM |

MM,
My source for this track is Ace "The Golden Age Of American Rock'n'Roll Vol. 7". It has the reverb/echo. ------------- dc1 |

Interesting that when Creedence Clearwater Revival released
their version of the song that it was spelled as Suzie-Q whereas Dale Hawkins released it as Susie-Q. ------------- John Gallagher Erie, PA https://www.johngallagher.com" rel="nofollow - John Gallagher Wedding & Special Event Entertainment / Snapblast Photo Booth |

David, I discovered that the UK master doesn't quite match the U.S. 45. I too have the above CD. I didn't mention this in my post because I thought that master was only on the import - but with the help of Ron Gerber I found that it made its way over here to at least 2 CDs. Listen close to the intro beats and hand claps. The UK mix does not include the slap echo of the U.S version and the reverb is different. Since it was on an Ace CD, I conclude that it was the UK 45 version. It took some digging on Youtube but I found one video with the UK version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXc2X1HiOlU MM |

Mark, I've found not every Ace package is true to the UK 45. My ears think Ace found an early-generation tape and added reverb. Does anyone out there have a needledrop to the UK 45 to see if I am right or wrong? I am amazed at how most of the CD transfers of this classic cut have a different "sound" from each other! Any help or direction would be appreciated! Andy |
