The two masterings of Pinball Wizard are different in the same manner. Louder, more compressed and booming on Phil's sample, thinner and less bass/lower midrange but more dynamic on mine.
Ah. Not liking this much at all; the midrange is pretty honky here - it just doesn't work for this song, especially in the intro.
The speeds between these two is "really" close, as though it's the same tape on the same machine; no way of knowing of course ...
Andreas' sample fades out earlier, FWIW.
Here's something I've wondered about - Andreas: does your copy have audible print through from "Miracle Cure" immediately after "Sensation" finishes? I've always been puzzled as to why it should be there. 1) The two songs shouldn't be on the same reel, unless a copy was made at 7 1/2 ips and 2) shouldn't there be leader tape somewhere?
