edlongus SUBS ● 9th Jan 2022		JRNelsonSr, I hear u clearly, but I still kain't understand how Hurricane Smith, arranger, producer AND engineer - how he couldn't/didn't do Stereo mixes of his OWN recordings?!? I just kain't, I just kain't, I JUST K-A-I-N'T understand?!? Lemme stop, it's making my brain hurt... ☺



JRNelsonSr 8th Jan 2022		@edlongus The answer is up to the release of this LP they were available only as mono non-album singles. "Oh, Babe..." was itself mono on the UK single (which came out several months before the US release). It looks like Capitol asked EMI to remix that song for stereo (which they did - but nothing else, including the flip). Once it was clear the single would be a huge US hit and an album was warranted, EMI sent over everything, from which Capitol picked the debut single and the UK follow up to "Oh Babe..." ("Who Was It") and padded it out with five tracks from his new album which had come out in the UK a few months earlier. Time was of the essence: remixing the mono tracks was a delay that couldn't be afforded. The real question is what was the story with "Don't Let It Die"? A giant hit in the UK, it was the centerpiece of that first album, yet it appears it wasn't remixed for inclusion therein.



edlongus SUBS ● 19th Feb 2021		Cover scan, label scans and catalogue number variant added. But it puzzles me why a record producer and engineer would have several rechanneled Stereo tracks on his album as late as 1972?!?
