Comments and Reviews


albert 5th Apr 2021		Excellent release, I already have the Virgin pressing from the late 1970s but when HMV were selling this at £7.99 it was an offer too good to resist. There have been huge discussions/arguments about the merits of various reissues since 2002 when Shel Talmy's tapes came back into use. The biggest problem being that some of the tracks were missing overdubs which were heard on the original vinyl pressings. For the UK Brunswick pressing there are additional guitar overdubs on A Legal Matter and My Generation, and additional vocal overdubs on La-La-La-Lies, Much Too Much, The Good's Gone and The Kids Are Alright. The Virgin pressing is rumoured to have been sourced by taking a dub off an original Brunswick LP, so I decided to do some analysis using Audacity. Happily I can report that to my ears the songs sound pretty much the same as on the Virgin pressing (and hence Brunswick). This was easy to compare - since the songs on both source LPs are mono I just needed to convert the captured 2-channel audio into 1-channel, and play both sources simultaneously into separate L-R earphones. The Virgin pressing is quite loud and just a little bass heavy but from what I could hear all of the dubs seem to be present on this new pressing. The only minor difference is that sometimes the volume changes very slightly in the mix on some of tracks, but I would assume that the engineers have better equipment than in 1965 and are balancing correctly. The only radical volume fluctuation was on the last 30 seconds of The Kids Are Alright, and some hesitant tweaking on Out In The Street. You will not notice any of these slight variances when playing the LP on your Hi-Fi system, and what you will hear is how the LP originally sounded in crisp and powerful mono. Recommended.
