There are three known variants of this CD:

Various - The Rock 'N' Roll Era 1957 is the original CD release from 1987. The running time of the full CD is 52:18. The original includes three tracks with electronically reprocessed stereo (Come Go With Me, I'm Walkin', Party Doll), and several tracks with truncated fades. The cover art and the discography page of the booklet show conflicting sets of track durations, most of which differ from the actual track durations.

Various - The Rock 'N' Roll Era 1957 is a reissue with "RE-2" in the matrix number. The running time of the full CD is 52:37. The RE-2 reissue was released in 1990, according to https://www.bsnpubs.com/warner/time-life/17rnrera/17rnrera.html The RE-2 reissue has the same track listing and art/booklet as the original release, and can only be visually distinguished from the original release by the RE-2 in the matrix number on the CD. The RE-2 reissue features drastically improved sound on nearly all tracks. All tracks are in pure mono. It is unclear if there was ever an RE-1 reissue for this disc.

This release is a pressing on the JCI label, released in 1993. The JCI pressing has the same track listings as the Time-Life discs. The JCI artwork includes an additional catalog number of JCI-1057 at the bottom of the rear artwork, in the credits on the last page of the booklet, and at the 3-o'clock position on the CD.

Original analog recordings--digitally remastered.
