Comments and Reviews

23skidoo 30th Jan 2023		Appears to be the European version of the US release "From the Original Master Tapes" with some track differences, most notably the inclusion of the posthumously release Haley's Golden Medley, which made the charts in the UK has never been released in North America. Does anyone know if this used the same master tapes source as the MCA USA album? Easy way to tell is "Rock Around the Clock" in the "master tapes" version is preceded by a man's voice (not Haley) counting in "One...two..." before Haley starts. Rudy's Rock is also missing a handclap overdub midway through the song on "Master Tapes" versions.
The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS 15th Dec 2015		The insert is a single sheet of heavy duty paper with the back having only the cat. # printed in the top right corner. This was available in Australia through WEA at the normal price.
