although not in the db because of it's low peak billboard
chart position of number 40 in 1963, my commercial 45 for
the olympics song 'the bounce' issued as tri disc 106
lists a run time on the label as 2:27 but actually runs
2:36....this is for the billboard chart completest on the
board....i found the song on the cd titled
'Hard To Find Hits Of Rock 'N' Roll Volume Two'
(Curb 77774)
but beware, it's dubbed from scratchy vinyl...
does anyone have this song on any of the other cds listed
in allmusic.com that's NOT a vinyl dub?

Ed, "The Bounce" is on my "Very Best Of The Olympics" 2002 CD (Varese
Sarabande 302066362). This song has always been 100 miles away from
what I'd describe as a "sonic masterpiece", but I will shoot it out for your
analysis, and hope it's an improvement over the Curb CD you've already
heard. And please let us know if the Varese CD sounds any better....

jim, thanks for the file for review.....great way of
describing the track as a 'sonic masterpiece'
fail.....your file is much, much cleaner than the cd
version from 'Hard To Find Hits Of Rock 'N' Roll Volume
Two' (Curb 77774)....there is some noise on then intro,
but it doesn't sound like vinyl surface noise to me....so
i would chalk it up to how the track was originally
recorded....tough to really compare as the vinyl 45 i have
is beat to hell...thanks, jim for your help...

I have a near-mint Tri Disc 106 styrene pressing, and it's clean enough to determine that the "sonic masterpiece" distance is actually 114 miles. ;) This was one record best experienced on a six-transistor radio in its day.
The vocal distortion on the backing vocals is right up (down?) there with the sustained "lo-o-o-ove"s on Phil Phillips' "Sea Of Love." Speaker re-coning businesses must've loved the extra customers those two records brought in.
