More Info:
The overdubbed master of 'Shake, Rattle and Roll' suffers from generation loss and runs about 1% too slow (should be key of E). The 'Shake Records' fraud 'Tiger Man' vol.1 includes take 12 (LFS) of 'Shake, Rattle and Roll' but it is listed as take 4. (The right channel is mastered far above the 0 dB limit as well, with clipped samples as result.) The outtakes of ' Lawdy Miss Clawdy' and 'Shake, Rattle and Roll' run 1% too fast on 'There's Always Me' vol.1 and vol. 3, 3% too fast on 'I Beg of You' & 'There's Always Him', 1% too slow on 'The Teenage Rage' and 1.8% too slow on 'Totally Stung'. All of these have been re-equalized very differently. Takes 4-6 of 'Lawdy Miss Clawdy' on "Totally Stung" may have a little too much high-end compared to midrange and bass, but still has far better signal and less artifacts than the others.
