David do you know where to buy George Smith's version of Juicy Harmonica? I have your version and Piazza's version (both great); now I want to hear the original.

It's track 24.

It's on a compilation CD (a cool one)

Don't forget the original is off pitch. In case you're trying to learn it.

I am sorry but what do you mean by off pitch? Btw, I love George Smith and this song. :-)

Answer

The track is closer to a B Harmonica than a B-flat. With the Amazing Slowdowner (or equivalent software) you can adjust it downward in pitch to match the proper B-flat harmonica. This happens in the mastering process sometimes unfortunately. This is done to speed up a tune to make it a little more lively, and thus changes the key... or it's because the recording motor speed and the mastering deck motor speed were not the same.

Thank you.

I typed in "Amazing Slow Downer" in Google and www.ronimusic.com came up, is this the right place to get it?
