I read that the 45 had the dry bass vocal, the echoey vocal first appearing on an LP in the '70s. Anyone can help me here?

David,
I never heard the master with the dry bass vocal part until it was released on CD in the Legacy series. Prior to that I only heard it with the echo on any vinyl source. (but i've never heard an original 45, only re-issues, just as a disclaimer...)

Bumping this one back up, I read the following regarding Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues" on a vinyl retail website:

The original U.S. single came in two versions, and [on] the rarer of the two... you'll notice that the spoken bits have a reverb effect. Later U.S. releases, and indeed all releases in the U.K. and Canada are reverb-free, as are reissue 45s and compilation LPs and CDs... The U.S. single also has a fade-out at the end, whereas other versions have a "cold" ending.

Source: Classic 45's

The database does currently note the numerous CDs containing the cold ending and missing reverb on the character responses. However, can anyone confirm if this particular version appears on some U.S. 45 pressings? If so, then the database comment will probably need to be modified accordingly.

Strange! I've never heard the version without the reverb until just now. It seems that the Classic 45s website has it wrong, though. Mark says that all vinyl reissue copies he's heard have the echo, whereas the website states reissue 45s are reverb-free. It looks like it's a fairly even split for which version shows up on CD.

I tend to agree that the Classic 45s website has it wrong. I never heard the
missing reverb version until the CD era. We need as many folks as possible
to pull their original and reissue singles, from the U.S., Canada, U.K. Wish I
could help, but I do not own a single of this track.

The three U.S. 45s in my collection all have the reverb on the spoken parts:

1. Liberty 55144 - vinyl original 1958 RCA Indianapolis pressing, green label.

2. Liberty 54503 - vinyl reissue, circa 1968; cream & rainbow label "Audition Record" DJ 45, with no mention of "All Time Hits Series."

3. Liberty 54503 - styrene "All Time Hits Series" reissue, circa 1970, black & silver label. Missing the first guitar strum.

The label shown on the supposedly "rarer" single on the Classics 45 site is not from an RCA pressing, meaning that at least two different plants pressed the "with reverb" original 45.

like a guitar pick at the beginning which isn't on my cdr
dub.....anyone?

Ed, as far as i know the cold ending appeared at the same
time the "no reverb" version did, for CD.
In fact i'm sure it was from Ron Furmanek when he was
doing the all the collector series discs.
I'm not aware of a reverb version that also ends cold..

as far that opening guitar pick, i'm not sure.

My copy, which I purchased in the late 60s is the same as
#3 on Yah Shure's list.
