I'm revisiting "Dizzy", three years later.

I see that the database lists quite a few discs as having "1993 remixed LP version; 45 speed".

I only have one of those (Varese Sarabande's Bubblegum Classics Volume Two from 1995). To my ears, it sounds like the plain-old LP mix, but sped up by 2.44% compared to the LP version on Rhino's Billboard Top Rock 'N' Roll Hits 1969.

I understand from above that the origin of the sped-up LP mix is the 1993 Greatest Hits CD on MCA.

Is all of the above correct?

If it is, can we please change the all the database entries that currently show "1993 remixed LP version; 45 speed" to "LP version sped up to match 45 speed"?

We should distinguish between the 1986 remix (truly a remix from the multitracks) and the 1993 GH version (hit mix from 1969 but sped up).

Last year, right after we moved into a new house I picked up a sealed set of vinyl and CD versions of the MCA Vintage Music series. I mostly did this for a decoration, as the content
wasn't known to me beforehand. I had never seen these discs back when I was DJing and assumed it was just a knockoff cover set until I started reading about them in threads here.

While my original set of vinyl and CD are still sealed, I saw another set go up on ebay from a seller I knew well. I purchased the first 10 issues on 5 CDs in used condition. I think
the vinyl series go up to 20 issues. The ones I just purchased showed up yesterday and all ripped down nicely. If I can be of any help to anyone looking for information on these
tracks I'll do my best to help.

Listening through a few today, I think these sound as familiar as I can recall them to be. (No later self-covers, etc.) I haven't compared the listings to see if they changed up
any songs from the vinyl issues to the CD versions yet. I assume the CD versions also go up to 11-20 on another set of 5 discs? I'll be looking for those now.

For decoration though, you can't beat the "Collectibles" CD sets for their appearance. Well, maybe some of the old Rhino sets looked pretty cool too.]]> Sat, 09 Jan 2021 20:55:34 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=57055&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#57055 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=56135&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#56135 Author: KentT

I like the Stereo version of "Dizzy" but both versions are
superb.

AndrewChouffi wrote: Hi Ron, Thank you for your analysis! I never doubt you, but I was wondering if possibly the remix of "Dizzy" is not a steve Hoffman remix, but an ABC remix. I seem to recall when the Vintage Music LP series came out that I remembered that version (possibly on a '16 Greatest Hits' or on an MCA 'Collectibles - Greatest Hits' or something...). The only reason I am questioning this is Steve Hoffman was never known for slathering his late-80s remixes with reverb. If anybody out there has any information or conjecture I'd love to hear it! Thanks! Andy

I used to own the MCA 'Collectibles' LP and I also
vaguely recollect this mix being on it, but I may well
be mistaken. Once you reach your mid-fifties, vague
recollections are the best you can hope for. And from
what we know about the history of ABC and its tapes, I
have my doubts that the multi-tracks would still have
been around in 1986. But I am by no means 100%
positive about any of this.

It's too bad those MCA 'Collectibles' LPs have never
been issued on CD (probably because they're not much
more than 20 minutes in length). The Rick Nelson one
has his mid-60s Decca hits in mono.]]> Fri, 25 Sep 2020 05:47:42 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=55958&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#55958 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=55946&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#55946 Author: C J Brown

Yes you are correct. I will try to remember and be more
carefull in the future. Thanks. ]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2020 16:08:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=55946&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#55946 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=55935&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#55935 Author: crapfromthepast

I'm sure no offense taken by anyone here.

I think in general, if there's discussion of a second song, we peel off the discussion into its own thread. It makes things much easier to follow, and to find later when we search on the title or artist.]]> Tue, 22 Sep 2020 19:16:14 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=55935&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#55935 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=55932&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#55932 Author: C J Brown

In an effort not to confuse others I will cease any

The thread covers "Dizzy" which Ron pretty much clarified
in the first post, though I added my 2 cents and
mentioned that the 1993 MCA Tommy Roe Greatest Hits disc
contains the stereo mix of "Dizzy" (as found at slower
speed on the Rhino Billboard 1969 disc) pitched matched
to the 45 mix. Then I noted that "Sheila" appears in mono
on the same 1993 MCA Greatest Hits while the 1988
pressing of Rhino's Billboard 1962 disc has "Sheila" in
stereo. That clear it up any?]]> Tue, 22 Sep 2020 10:03:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=55929&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#55929 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=55926&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#55926 Author: TomDiehl1

Are we discussing Dizzy, or Sheila? I'm
not able to follow along well without
getting confused. ]]> Mon, 21 Sep 2020 21:10:37 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=55926&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#55926 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9426&PID=55922&title=tommy-roe-dizzy#55922 Author: C J Brown
