Elvis: The King's Realm Discussion Forum

I'd like to know if anyone has listened to "Danny" with the count-in on the new CD "Lonely Blue Boy" released by Bennies Fifties and if they can put it online...
Thanks in advance
Nico

It's from an acetate source (like it's mentioned on the cover) and sounds exactly like that.
A count in ("one, two, three, four"), followed by the original (and known) 'Danny', but in the quality of a sctratching record.
Nothing earthshattering

Honestly, Nico, you're not missing anything. Many of the tracks on that CD are sourced from MP3s, and the count-in on "Danny" is obviously spliced in—the audio shift is jarring even without headphones. It’s a sh!tty release, plain and simple.

Thanks for the sample JimmyCool,

It appears to be the correct count in or movie cue for this song.

Here's a little audio repair.

Thanks for the repair job, much better!
