Vinyl Me Please Essentials

A lot of shipping notices went out today I believe, so probably will know something by Friday or Saturday.

I have a feeling Storf isn't a big Bob Dylan connoisseur

so you're saying he'll definitely be writing the liner notes?

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

So if I can only get 1?

IMO, The AP 2x45 Mono is the definitive version. The mono/stereo is more a preference thing as the stereo mastered really well (no hard pan issues or anything) but Brian Wilson was deaf in one ear and mixed everything in mono as a result. I think @Mather and a few others on here prefer the Stereo mix but I think the mono mix is probably as close to what Brian intended Pet Sounds to sound like.

The stereo mix didn't exist until the 90s when Mark Linett remixed them in pro tools. It is pretty freakin' great though.

I think a Giles Martin remix would be pretty dang fun for that album.

They can’t be worse than the Thin Lizzy ones. They were awful. Badly written and superficial. Especially the day after I’d happened across a brilliant documentary on Phil Lynott on RTÉ.

Yeah I’m with you in the mono but given that album is so beautifuly and purposively mixed together I just couldn’t ever countenance splitting the sides up so the 33 mono would always be my choice as the definitive.

Definitely agree. It’s Pet Sounds. Two perfect sides.

Two more titles not yet mentioned as possibilities for the 1966 rock album:

The Blues Project “Projections”

Los Bravos “Black Is Black”

 

[duke86fan]

Did we get storfed?

 

[avecigrec]

Sunshine Superman by BDonovan

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Just got my ROTM shipping notice. We will see in a couple of weeks how they did with the Interpol

 

[Plumcrazyfx]

I stand by Barry Sadler. Biggest single of 1966.

 

[Blueberry]

Maybe the clue isn’t what we think.

Maybe the 1966 rock album is Jefferson Airplane “…Takes Off”.

Because, when an airplane propeller starts up it makes a “Bbbbbbbbbbbb” sound. So it starts with a b.

Now that's what you call an entrance...welcome to the forum @Blueberry

On Hoffman they'd start arguing that propellers make a "pfffffffff" noise instead. There would be diagrams and algorithms to prove this, I'm sure.

And there would be one guy on the first page claiming the Japanese propeller sounds better with 2 others jumping on him saying that every idiot knows that Japanese propellers sound like crap because they have a digital step

Pretty sure @Mather would get a warped propeller that goes "Ehhhhh"

Only the DSD-sourced ones go "pffffffff"

 

[hayema7]

Storf’s response to @keylime_5 mentioning a digitally sourced Blonde on Blonde (good job getting the info). Pretty awesome if it’s AAA. Not sure how it will stack up to other versions, but I’m pretty excited.

 

[keylime_5]

The existing Ryan Smith AAA mono is the tits so I’m sure it’s gonna be incredible
