Comments and Reviews


RecordDragon 9th Jan 2020		Video describing an early 1970's repress of this LP with only side 1 being mono



BEATLEJOHN 8th Aug 2018		Ordway...forgive me for replying that way...but what is scary is there are alternate mixes on US pressings...My friend Steve has a folded down mono copy also...same stampers as my copy with the exception his disc does not have a -1 on side one...



ordway1440 6th Aug 2018		Why would I have lied? To be fair, though, this is the first I have ever heard about a folded US mono issue.



BEATLEJOHN 29th Jun 2018		Okay folks.....found another mono copy (for a quarter!) at a local library book sale....looks like hell, but what the hell..... ordway1440 is speaking the truth!...this copy is mixed for mono!...(in fact the whole album is slightly sped up from the stereo)...Fakin' It (yes it's edited) and At The Zoo are the single mixes!!! The cross fade from "Child" to "America" is quicker...Punky's Dilemma has extra harmony voices not found on the stereo mix...(though "Hazy" seems like a fold down of the stereo mix an not the single mix...in fact this song is as not as loud as the others on the rest of this mono album) here are the matrixes... .Side One: (handwritten) XLP 118885 -2B and An upside down "C"...(with an "A" on the opposite side) Side Two: (handwritten) XLP 118886 -2F and a backwards "C"..(with what looks like a backwards "S" with two backslashes "\\" on the opposite side



BEATLEJOHN 26th Oct 2017		My copy...(labels shown above)... Side One: (handwritten) XLP 118885 -1C-1 and what looks like an eye symbol Side Two: (handwritten) XLP 118886 -1C and what looks like an eye symbol Played it again....side one crossfades are the same..."Fakin' It"..."At The Zoo"...and especially "Hazy Shade Of Winter" are the "Album" mixes........perhaps the only thing I can say is different between the mono and stereo is the EQ'ing (on the mono it seems to be EQ'd to the vocals...and not as bottom end-ish) John



ppint. 15th Oct 2017		comparison of the matrix numbers impressed into the vinyl may help sort out this puzzle. . .



BEATLEJOHN 15th Oct 2017		My copy is a fold down!...not at all a mono mix!....something interesting going on here???....John



ordway1440 13th Oct 2017		A Fold down? Not in the slightest. BOOKENDS, at least the US mono, is a fully dedicated mono mix, and an amazing one at that. Now if you were talking about THE GRADUATE OST, that is sadly a fold-down. My above comments apply to the US pressings....Your country's mileage may vary! ;-)



BEATLEJOHN 8th Nov 2014		Probably didn't want to deal with all the cross-fades.....John



W.B.lbl 12th Feb 2014		Which is odd, given how Columbia was fastidious about making separate mixes for mono and stereo per engineers' union rules. Unless the mono fold-down was UK?



BEATLEJOHN 11th Feb 2014		Added the hard to find US mono copy of Bookends.....Beware! all those looking for any unique mono mixes!...the mono edition is simply a fold-down of the stereo version...(and all those interesting single versions remain on their 45 counterparts!)....John
