I just figured out that my copy of the "Arthur" remaster has this track in mono, but it's one channel of a stereo mix so it sucks. Does anybody have a copy with the correct stereo mix? I'm doing my own remasters of the Kinks Pye catalog and I would really like to use the stereo mix of that track.

Sorry, I never upgraded my Arthur remaster.
What is your reason not to use the proper mono mix? The (true) stereo mix is on the Great Lost Kinks bootleg, but I don't remember how the sound quality is.

Yeah, that was a boneheaded mistake. Worse, they caught it pretty quickly, but didn't make good on their promise to 'fix' it until a decade later.
I got a FLAC off of some torrent, I'll post it tonight if no one else does before me.

I haven't heard the bootleg, but the stereo mix on the GLKA vinyl is superb-sounding.

Okay guys - thanks - I won't be needing this track now - I though it was in mono on TGLKA - my bad.

MK -
Is that taken from the "fixed" remaster? It sounds quite a bit better than my copy of TGLKA and it's not mastered too bad. I think I'll use it! Thanks!

I wish I knew. I got it from a Kinks bootleg torrent that may have lifted stuff from the "Great Lost Kinks Album," but I have no idea where that track would've come from. It may have originated from the old dimeadozen, whatever it was called, before Nirvana shut it down.
