Re: [newmellotrongroup] My Mellotron pix...

2009-10-15 by Daniel Swanson

The one on the left is an 80's German pressing. It's a bit rolled off  
in the high end. Not as good as the German pressing of Selling England  
By the Pound. Foxtrot wasn't a great sounding recording. The other  
pressing is of the new remix and part of the 1970-75 LP box set. I'm  
not normally a fan of remixes, but these Genesis records really sound  
good. There's a slight loss of dynamic range, but the new details are  
really great. "Time Table" has beautiful Mellotron flutes that come in  
on the 2nd half of the 2nd verse that weren't on the original mix, and  
it really lifts the track. One of my favorite vinyl reissues in years.
