The Mellotron Group

I think that the first LP issues used different stereo mixes and segues all
together!

Tony Clarke remixed the original four tracks in the early 70's.These
(re-)mixes are the ones which are now being used on CD.

 

You're right, they sound quite different.The LP version even has some parts
which have been omitted ( mistake ) in the remix!

Things like harmony vocals etc.

 

Cheers,H

Subject: [newmellotrongroup] Sound quality of CD's

 

Hi Guys,

Has anyone else noticed, or is it just me, how, when you get hold of 
a new CD version of an album you've been listening to on vinyl for 
years, you start hearing little things you didn't know were there?

Now is it just because the CD can reproduce things the LP couldn't?

Or is it because someone tweaked it to make sure it could?

Or did those 'little things' gradually disappear from the vinyl as it 
wore out over time so you forgot them until the CD brought them back 
again?

Another strange thing. If I listen to Days Of Future Passed on CD 
(digitally remastered, cat. no. 644 767-2, 1997) it sounds different 
from the original - and I mean really different, as if different 
mixes had been used on some of the tracks. I have all the other 
Moodies 'core 7' in the same series but none of them do this. Anyone 
want to comment?

Steve
