OCC Rocks is on Qobuz, so you could stream it

Thanks to John, I'm sorry to report that OCC Rocks doesn't sound very good.
It's mastered way too loud, with a really muffled EQ that makes everything in the mix sound compressed and boxy. Perhaps the actual 45 master tape sounds like this, which may be why it wasn't issued on CD until 2008? Regardless, it's a very stark contrast with the wide-open sound of Reelin' In The Years Vol. 5. In addition, the left and right channels of OCC Rocks are out of synch by one sample. (Not so on Reelin'.) Plus, the tail of the fade on OCC Rocks ends two beats earlier than the homemade edit. I'm sticking with the homemade edit for my library. Edited by crapfromthepast |

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

I listened to the OOC Rocks version as well, and also don't like it for the
reasons stated. The 45 is on AnotherProf's YouTube and does not sound like that. I'll also stick with the recent homemade edit. |

Although to answer my own question, they at least got the edit right without the organ bleedover.

I think the reason I initially turned to OCC Rocks years
ago was for the Kansas 45 version and the Blue Oyster Cult 45 version. This was a year after I had discovered this forum and hadn't really learned how to create 45 versions very well. So, I took what I could find on CD already. Blue Oyster Cult is also brickwalled. |
