Comments and Reviews


Madame Streggae 7th Jan 2025		Much appreciate the response edlongus. TBH, I'm a mono kinda guy when it comes to 60s tracks so try and avoid the format for such albums if I can (I do have a stereo amp but with no mono/stereo switch!). As reported elsewhere I bought a Foundations' LP on Marble Arch which I was led to believe was mono but was in fact stereo and sounded HORRIBLE! The vocal on 'Baby Now That I've Found You' sounded like one of those budget album covers. Have to say though that these Golden Hour sets do look to offer tremendous value.



edlongus SUBS 7th Jan 2025		Madame Streggae, those Golden Hour albums are a blessing and curse 2 me!! On one hand, u get more bang 4 your buck - a whole HOUR of music on ONE album!! Whoo-Wee!! On the OTHER hand, the grooves are so compressed that the volume seems kinda low/quiet, so u have 2 turn up the volume a bit and then u get an increase in surface noise!! That said, I'd still pick up a Golden Hour album if I saw one in a thrift store...



Madame Streggae 6th Jan 2025		With 12/13 tracks per side (never mind the simulated stereo) I'd be interested to know how this set sounds. With that degree of compression, pretty bad I'd guess.



Trester 7th Jan 2015		With my copy, the catalogue number on the cover has got a sticker over it showing a different number: 87 286 XAT.



fixbutte 30th Oct 2014		Good that you did because I had forgotten track B12. I have also noted now which the true stereo tracks were (all from the first album). From Steve Hoffman Music Forums: "... the first LP (The Kinks) was mixed for stereo by Pye/Shel Talmy and was issued in the UK shortly after the mono LP was released (which was Oct 2, 1964). The cost of the stereo mix was charged to the band, so needless to say the next few albums did not receive a stereo mix. Most of the songs are true stereo (You Really Got Me of course isn't) but the mixes are primitive 60's mixes."
