Thanks!

Figures.

I bought the mono LP because I opted for a high quality mono hi fi over a lesser stereo. Capitol had castrated it like they had the stereo but it was clearly a better mix.

The mono versions had hours put into each mix with the band present while the stereo literally had minutes to sort of match the mono. They added massive compression to minimize tape hiss that I was told the band hated although not as much as they hated hiss.

I was told when I visited in 1969 that it was two 4 track 1" machines and they had never used a 3 track other than for working with tapes from Capitol during the early '60s.

This is a highly opinionated and totally slanted personal list of my definitions for common music industry jargon. Hopefully my many prejudices will be obvious! What could I, a recording engineer, possibly know about the music business? The only answer is the people who I have been privileged to bot...

The same preamps and mikes are the best sounding "glue" there is. The best sounding preamp and mike soloed are rarely the best sounding in a mix.

It has no place to go but up!

Not much to say yet.
