Comments and Reviews


edlongus SUBS 19th Sep 2024		I've also noticed the Stereo album take of "I Am A Rock" is not the same take as on the original Mono 45 RPM hit version, but that's a whole other conversation... ☺



thewillismon 18th Sep 2024		@edlongus I heard the "hum" in the intro and its on my copy of the Greatest Hits LP-the mono/stereo hybrid. I think its more noticeable on the 45 version. Also the vibes in the instrumental break really pop on the mono version.



edlongus SUBS 14th Sep 2024		thewillismon, when u were listening 2/timing your copy, which copy did u have (do u remember)?!? Just curious, because I have the "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album in the "Collected Works" box set, and it's all Stereo in that set. I also noticed that the Mono mix has someone humming at the beginning, after the maracas start shaking but before the lead vocals start. That humming isn't in the full Stereo versions I have heard. U can hear the humming on the direct play video below. "American Bandstand" remastered Stereo audio:



thewillismon 13th Sep 2024		Wiki states: Some pressings use the single mix from 1970; reissues use a hybrid of the single and the album version from Bridge Over Troubled Water. That's interesting, I wasn't aware of such an animal!



edlongus SUBS 13th Sep 2024		As BEATLEJOHN mentioned, "Cecilia" starts in Mono and after the instrumental break burst into Stereo, but it's the best sounding mix (in my opinion) because the rhythm section sounds like stomping instead of just drums!! It's thunderous!! It sounds a whole lot better than the pristine, weak mix on the "Bridge Over Troubled Water" Quadraphonic album (and I own a 2nd Yugoslavia Quadraphonic copy also). Here's the Mono/Stereo version:



thewillismon 13th Sep 2024		Track B7 shows a time of 2:55 but my copy times at 2:48.



edlongus SUBS 24th Mar 2018		Shrink wrap sticker scan added. My copy is the PC 31350, though the shrink wrap sticker says KC 31350.



thewillismon 9th Mar 2018		Track A1 3:51 edit with early fade



thewillismon 9th Mar 2018		The label on my LP shows track A1 "Mrs. Robinson" time of 4:02, but it actually plays at 3:51



W.B.lbl 31st Jul 2017		Santa Maria apparently used Pitman's label fonts and layout as seen on {Images #1411158 & 1411161}. Why Terre Haute went its own way is perhaps one of those unanswerables.



TheDroid 30th Jul 2017		Added cleaner front original cover (KC 31350) with a nod to original uploader Trainman.



TheDroid 29th Jul 2017		Added second KC 31350 label example from Santa Maria, CA. Layout appears to use same as the Pitman, NJ one referenced earlier by W.B.lbl.



BEATLEJOHN 31st Aug 2016		Strangely, every copy of this (and even into the various CD re-issues) have a mono "Cecilia" that expands into stereo on the line "Jubilation, she loves me again"...though the song is in stereo all the way through on the "Bridge:" Lp....go figure???............John



checkm8 3rd Jan 2016		Added cover and label images for catalog number PC 31350.



W.B.lbl 28th Nov 2015		{Images #899755 & 899756} are Terre Haute, IN. Here's how the Pitman, NJ typesetting looked like.



Vinyl Fan 28th Nov 2015		Added label scans fmc with a nod to Trainman.
