You're No Good - Bob Dylan
[An introductory edit piece called "Connecticut Cowboy" was recorded for this song but not used. I found it on a bootleg, adjusted the pitch and EQ, and tacked it onto the mono version of the record.]
The Stars and Stripes Forever - Sousa's Band
[Musicians who actually worked with Sousa said they would play faster in the studio to shoehorn a piece into the confines of a 78rpm record. I slowed this side down 10% to more closely approximate the concert tempo. The pitch remains the same.]
I'm Counting On You - Elvis Presley
[An edit of take 2, sans the Jordanaires' "bah-bah-bah-bah."]
Hold Me Tight - The Beatles
[In its officially released form, "Hold Me Tight" gets my vote for absolute crummiest Beatles record. Using an outtake (take 21), I tuned up Paul's vocal with Melodyne pitch control, excised about 16 bars, and mixed it to mono. Is it an improvement? Maybe not, but it's different.]
