  • I've always felt that something is happening at 0:39 - almost right after the sax solo (mr. Gaines) comes in, the original recording IS slowing down a bit, or what?

  • I hear what you mean. Play CrisVangel's original US copy and it does the same!

  • @UFCWARRIORification i know right??? i thought this sounded just like led zeppelin's "Rock 'n' Roll"

  • Leave Christine alone...

  • @jfab64 Yes, Zep was originally jamming to this song when they got the idea for Rock And Roll...

  • serves u right dennis, leave christine alone.:)

  • been a long time since I rock & rolled, been a long time been a long time been a long lonely lonely lonely time....

  • @jfab64 yes, i understand he was directly 'quoting'

    ..a spontaneous jam that occurred whilst at work on "Led Zep IV "lp. .."Rock n Roll" was made up almost on the spot ..but it was 'this drumming on this great ol' song' that was the ispiration ..the spirit of it breathed life into the other.

  • How much better does that sound on vinyl....Just wish I was there lol ;-)

  • ahaha, i love his screams of "woooo" and "yeah", etc

  • @ausfan100 I fully agree with you. That was the way it sounded when it came out, that was the killer version which made a difference to so many creative people and fans out there. I don't mind that it has been 'corrected' as long as both versions are available. Any serious reissue should contain both versions. In an ideal world, of course. No matter what, mister Penniman has a lot to be proud of, and I'm happy to know that he's still among us. Medals aren't good enough for him!
