Comments and Reviews


ppint. 20th Jun 2020		thank-you paul: i do wish philips had made it clear on the album cover that these were not the originally-released single versions - i could have avoided it, and great disappointment, by simply keeping all of my four seasons singles, most of which i parted with in order to be able to buy this. ah, well. . .



Paul Urbahns 13th Jun 2020		In answer to ppint. "does any 45catter know about the dates & details of these apparently subsequent stereo versions? - or am i simply wrong, and the different sound of the stereo versions is due simply to different sound quality choices being made when mixing stereo versions from the original tapes?" On September 17, 1968 Bob Crewe submitted these alternate stereo versions of 4 Seasons hits for use on the Edizione Del Oro vinyl 2 album set. The reason was because the previous 4 Seasons albums including the Gold Vault of Hits series was a mixture of original mono singles (where no stereo mix existed) and stereo album versions on stereo releases. Edizione D'Oro (Gold Edition) was intended to be the first all stereo release of the 4 Seasons greatest hits. Bob Crewe went back to his existing tapes, and came up with the following group of stereo versions of the songs to replace, generally, mono versions previously available. However, Crewe, like many producers of the time, would sometimes add vocal or instrumental parts directly to the 45 master and therefore that did not appear of stereo or multi-tracks. That is why most of these "alternate versions" are missing parts and do not sound like the hit versions played on the radio back in the 60s. Ronnie was the only song, "electronically rechanneled for stereo" because only a mono master existed. It appears he still had multi-tracks to Big Man In Town and so he remixed it to give it a better stereo sound by centering all the vocals and splitting the music track. Previously issued stereo versions had the instruments in the left channel , background vocals in the right, and lead centered. A8 Ain't That A Shame [ALTERNATE VERSION] 2:33 better known as the stereo underdub version (missing Nick Massi's vocals). B1 Dawn (Go Away) [ALTERNATE EDIT] 2:11 This is the original version recorded at Atlantic studios with Tom Dowd engineering. Between the time the song was recorded for Atlantic and finally issued on Philips, Bob Crewe decided to add the "Pretty as" intro direct to the mono master with Frankie singing over Tommy DiVitos guitar strumming. This is mentioned in Charles Calello's book page 102. However Valli has been performing the ED version on stage at live concerts for years. B3 Big Man In Town [ALTERNATE MIX] 2:44 All vocals are centered in the mix. B5 Save It For Me [ALTERNATE VERSION] The organ and vocals are different than the hit version. B6 Girl Come Running [ALTERNATE EDIT] 3:00 Missing opening vocals C1 Rag Doll [UNIQUE STEREO RELEASE] 3:00 Previous issues were mono C4 Let's Hang On [ALTERNATE EDIT] 3:09 Missing opening vocals D4 Silence Is Golden [UNIQUE STEREO MIX] 3:03 Previous issues were mono or rechanneled.



Sinkronizer 19th Jul 2016		A link to some info on this album http://thatfourseasonssound.typepad.com/seasonally/2011/06/edizione-doro-1968-ed-almost-the-ultimate-four-seasons-hits-album.html



TheJudge 5th Feb 2015		I know that the version of Let's Hang On! on this set is missing the slow solo intro of the Philips single (or is it the other way round?).



ppint. 4th Feb 2015		i recall being very disappointed with this - many of the early tracks sounding distinctly different from the original singles - some of those originally on philips, not just those on stateside (i know - but that's how they came here in the uk) :-(( i presumed that, like many early-mid sixties singles, there was no "original stereo version", and the singers had gone back into the recording studio(s) to re-record stereo versions with such backing musicians as happened to be available on the new dates. does any 45catter know about the dates & details of these apparently subsequent stereo versions? - or am i simply wrong, and the different sound of the stereo versions is due simply to different sound quality choices being made when mixing stereo versions from the original tapes?



kab2112 SUBS ● 25th Mar 2014		Cover scans added



TheJudge 5th Oct 2013		Done! Thanks.



kab2112 SUBS ● 5th Oct 2013		OK fine with me



TheJudge 5th Oct 2013		Shall I move your sleeve image over to my entry and then delete this one? Might be the easiest way out.



kab2112 SUBS ● 5th Oct 2013		Looks like all of you are right. The order that I put them up is wrong. The actual records are not any help as both just have side 1 and side 2 on them. gregs78s is also right, I seem to have missed out a track. I will have to try and stay awake !!!!



gregs45s SUBS 5th Oct 2013		I think there's a track missing,my copy has additional (C8 Ain't That A Shame) (Domino,Bartholomew)



YankeeDisc SUBS 5th Oct 2013		@TheJudge Further to your comment on the similar submission, after thoroughly checking my copy, it is the same as your (TheJudges') sub., and not as I originally thought, the same as kab2112's sub., which may have a slight error in track listing. DISC 1 - Side A - DBL.003-A 1 lead track - "Sherry" DISC 1 - Side B - DBL.003-A 2 lead track - "Dawn (Go Away) " DISC 2 - Side C - DBL.003-B 1 lead track - "Rag Doll" DISC 2 - Side D - DBL.003-B 2 lead track - "I've Got You Under My Skin" I think it may be a simple case of confusion over the matrix numbers both being suffixed A and then B. The chronological layout of the tracks as shown on the sleeve and labels, starting with "Sherry" and ending with "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" actually replicate almost (if not) exactly the order in which the titles were released as singles, and that does not appear to be the case on this page, as yet.



YankeeDisc SUBS 5th Oct 2013		Further to your comment on the similar submission, after thoroughly checking my copy, it is the same as this sub., although my copy does not carry any sticker on rear of gatefold sleeve referencing the catalogue number, it has printed thus... "6640002 ....DBL ....PRICE ....CODE". DISC 1 - Side A - DBL.003-A 1 lead track - "Sherry" DISC 1 - Side B - DBL.003-A 2 lead track - "Dawn (Go Away) " DISC 2 - Side C - DBL.003-B 1 lead track - "Rag Doll" DISC 2 - Side D - DBL.003-B 2 lead track - "I've Got You Under My Skin" I think it may be a simple case of confusion over the matrix numbers both being suffixed A and then B.



TheJudge 4th Oct 2013		kab2112, Can you check your listing? I've just made a duplicate entry here (it didn't come up in the search because I didn't check under '4 Seasons'). My copy has the sides in a different order (your C>D>A>B). We can then negotiate as to which entry we keep and where the scans go. TY
