High School Confidential (3 false starts named (3.1), (3.3) and take named (3.5) on BCD 17254)
~ Recording by Jerry Lee Lewis
Annotation
Firstly issued in 1982 on "The Sun Years" (12 LP set). Contains three false starts (0:17, 0:06 and 0:18), chatter and take 3 of version 2 (net length 2:24).
Note from the back cover of Record 6 of "The Sun Years". Well, what do we have here? Apparently we have the A-side of Jerry's fifth single. In fact, this track is minus a little echo and contains a totally different ending. Jerry goes out here on a pretty, descending run instead of the triumphant sweep of the right hand that the world heard in 1958. Jack Clement or Sam Phillips presumably decided that the record demanded a more definitive ending and spliced one on from another take. Rather well, too.
