bill haley we’re gonna rock around clock

My copy of Razor & Tie's 2CD Heroes of Rock & Roll does
have the count-in.

Luckily, From The Original Master Tapes (1985) is
available on Qobuz.

It's come to my attention that the 45 prof indicated that the CD mastering on CD are "lacking presence" and they do not "jump out of the speaker" like the original 45.

From the 45 prof directly: "I recall buying MCA’s 1985 ‘from the original master tapes’ CD of the Haley hits and was disappointed that the tracks didn’t jump out of the speaker like the original singles. Of course, they were ‘clean’ with plenty of bass and adequate upper frequencies, but the mid-range seemed to be under-pronounced."

I gathered all available cd and digital versions of the song in hopes that maybe we can find one that is close to the 45 dub that the 45 prof provided. While Ron reviewed the single the 45 does not have a countoff so that choice, along with the 45 prof indicating that the mastering isn't a match makes me wonder if the 45 has ever truly been on CD. Since the song is 70 plus years old I don't mind providing a link to the 45 dub if anyone has any thoughts. I post the link for educational and research purposes only:

Any thoughts on this much appreciated. Thanks!

	You're absolutely right; my error. I will fix that in the above post.
	There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

	For the 45 version I went with Party of the Millennium Disc 1. For me, choosing the Steve Hoffman disc means choosing a non-hit version. The Party of the Millennium runs 208.707.
