Classic Records Time Out LP Question

https://www.redtrumpet.com/software/item.php?item=20451&sid=1210555801

Before I order I'm wondering if this LP is the original mix or Mark Wilder's re-mix? I'm looking for a nice copy of the original mixes.

 

Hmmm,I didn't hear anything about a remix used for the Classic,but I have the 180g of Time Out and Bernie Grundman did a brilliant job on it.It sounds good!!!I don't know about any remastering for this new 200 gram edition,but the first time out Bernie hit a grand slam!!!

 

Thanks for the response. I assume the 180g is now out of print?

 

Repl. by the 200g. Would be surprised if they sold ALL OUT of the 180.

It's from the same metal parts. I believe he used the 3 track tape.

Sincerely, Bernie did make a nice piece of plastic here. Anyone who hasn't got it and likes the record (if they have a nice turntable) owes it to themselves to buy one....

I got the 45RPM and the 180g while I could.

 

Did Classic put the 180g out too?

 

Yes, the 180gm was issued by Classic, and for a while they sold them for $15 each (lots of stock I guess). They nailed this one, no question.

 

Classic still has some 180gm LPs for sale on the "Rare Finds" part of their webpage (Led Zeppelin II, the David Crosby album, the electric half of the Dylan Live 1966, some other jazz and classical stuff), but ... alas, no Time Out.

 

I've had pretty decent luck coming across relatively early original pressings of "Time Out", both mono and stereo. So if you really want the original mix then don't give up hope, there's plenty out there. The mono is pretty amazing!
I'd love to buy the Classic reissue though.

You never know. Some dealer or record store may have one laying around (180g). Try audiophile International, John may have one.

 

Re: Re: Classic Records Time Out LP Question

Personally, I prefer the "six-eye" mono over the stereo counterpart.

 

I have the 6 eye mono, 6 eye original stereo and the Classic. The originals are near mint. The Classic mutilates them all, IMHO.

 

Yeah, it should.

I tried myself, and nothing beats the Classic Recs. Not in analog.

 

I would try to hunt down a 180G Classic. I don't take chances on the 200g unless absoulutely necessary.

 

Careful.

There is a Sony-made 180g LP of Time Out. It's awful. Goes for $15 just like their even worse issue of KOB.

The 200g CR Lp, still goes for $30 and is worth the admission.

 

All of the late 90's Columbia 180gm vinyl sounds poor imho. Plain paper sleeves, no liner notes. I was offered a great wholesale price on a lot of them, but refuse to sell them to people. Avoid at all cost

 

I can't find any 180g pressings. Any idea who did the 200g?

I have two older pressings. One is an original (it's worn) and one is a re-press but the top end splatters during harder cymbal hits. They sound very different from each other.

 

Yesman,

Contact me if you're looking for the 180gram Classic version.

 

I *think* the covers are different though. The Classic uses the 1st press artwork (no mention of "featuring Take Five", etc), whereas the Sony/Columbia uses the alternate "featuring" art. Then again, I don't own the 180gm Sony (and I'm sure saying it's awful is being generous - those pressings stink to high heaven )
