The US vinyl LP always had a much more toned down mix compared to the UK. It's especially noticable on the opening track. It was like they lopped off 33% of the highs. The standard CD mix is ever so slightly toned down from the UK mix. No longer is the opening track as powerful as the vinyl. so.......

I like the stereo mix better with 2 (big) exceptions, Lucifer Sam and Pow R Toc H. The panning in the stereo Lucifer is a little over the top. I still enjoy it though. The stereo Pow R is awful. There is nothing going on in one channel for half the song and some guitar bits are missing. That pannin...

You would love the Random Precision book. It's a Lewisohn style book that documents all of the Syd recordings sessions (both solo and w/ PF). He even lists every reel (w/ reel #) that is in the vault at EMI. There is lots of interesting Jugband era stuff that has never been released. The Piper mult...

Klein is one of the last remaining living managers who scooped up thier clients assets lock stock and barrel in the name of "protecting" them. But he did fail to get all four Beatles signatures on the piece of paper that would have sealed his biggest deal ever. And he did do hard time in ...

Just goes to show how unimportant the Songwriters HOF and the Rock and Roll HOF are.

Along with the Grammys.

They're all run by idiots who couldn't tell the difference between Patti Page and Pere Ubu.

The state of the early Pink Floyd are a mess. First, Joe Boyd, original producer, claims to have the multi tracks on the sides he produced before EMI assigned the band to Norman Smith (which apparently includes unreleased material). I'm fairly sure that EMI had the multi tracks for "See Emily ...

Even though I'm a stereo fanatic, I have a problem with the stereo masters for this album. The mono versions are so clear and natural and the stereo mixes have so much unnecessary echo slathered on it that I wish someone would remix the album, remove the hiss and reduce the added echo. The bext exam...

"The Decca Stereo Anthology" is a magnificent collection. All of the Zombies Decca multi-tracks were preserved and this 2-CD set remixes all of the Decca master takes into stereo. The remixing and mastering is excellent, IMO. There is an occasional count-in or false start to make things i...

I think Emily is fake stereo on the Tower LP. There is no true stereo See Emily. Unfortunately the Emily multitracks are long gone. A major bummer as supposedly the single was edited down from a much longer performance. Actually, all of the Piper multitracks are gone as well save for one 4 track re...
