Remake (Music)

In the music industry, Remake is the name for a new recording of a previously released piece of music by the same artist. The reasons for this can be in the improvement of the recording technique (mono recordings are replaced by new recordings in stereo, analogue recordings are replaced by digital recordings), on the other also in a musical adapted to the changing taste or the change of the record company Delimits edit the source text Edit sample source text

The example of Bill Haleys shows that his hit Rock Around the Clock was a cover version of the original Sonny Dae and his Knights, recorded on March 20, 1954, and released in April 1954. Haley's version was first recorded on April 12, 1954 in Mono, and the title was released on Decca # 29124 on May 15, 1954 (as the B-page), and only reached rank 23 of the charts. After the song was used in the film Blackboard Jungle, Decca decided in May 1955 to a re-publication with the same catalog no. # 29124, although the Decca catalog was numerically more advanced (the previously released there by Haley released single Mambo Rock already bore the catalog # 29418). A remake in stereos appeared as a new recording apparent for the first time in March 1968 at Decca Records. Edit sourcetext
