d'oh the date is 2/19/2013 can a gort please fix thanks!

 

Release date of 19 Feb. I wasn't interested in the first two releases but this one looks like enticing. Thanks for posting!

 

Thanks. Some interesting singles.

 

I like the look of the flow on those 3 disks.

Since it's slightly realated (pleasantly old fashioned music), I wonder if the Hit Parade series, or Ace's Golden Age of American Popular Music, will have any more additions to them...

 

Who are the engineers on this one and the first two??

Yep, I'm in as well. But I really wish they'd stop using stereo (and then advertising it as if it's something special) when everyone heard these singles in mono at that time. Especially when a song is making its stereo debut on CD, then I really don't want it in that mix.

 

We have opposing points of view. The stereo is special for me, and the only reason for buying it. And the stereo debut tracks are the ones that I want most.

 

Hard to believe it took to 2013 for "Alley Cat" to appear on CD for the first time. It was a Grammy-winning top ten single 51 years ago, and pretty much inescapable in American homes for about a decade or so after. (Maybe this is a mono-stereo distinction.)

 

Of course, and I'm in the minority with this thinking as well. Labels know that more people would rather hear anything in stereo so they advertise it as such. I'd just rather hear the music as it was originally intended to be heard. I don't like colorizing old black and white movies either.

 

The stereo version is commonly available on CD. This is the mono single version.

 

Cool, might have to take the plunge

 

Is this really going to be the 45 debut of James Brown's "Night Train?" That's hard to believe. What mix did they use for the Hip O Select singles disc then?

 

While I dig getting new or hard to find stereo as much as anybody, there should be special comps on which to place those, and something this comprehensive--and singles-driven--is not, IMO, that place, any more than stereo would have made sense on the first STAX/VOLT box, or the JB Hip-O 2-fers (except, of course, when stereo 45 sides were released). Using stereo mixes also runs the typical risk of simply using a version that doesn't much jive with the original 45 mix. "The Lonely Bull" might be a litmus test: the original 45 can be heard in one channel of the stereo mix Herb Alpert concocted, adding the trumpet to the other side to make it stereo, as the original single did not have a stereo master (far as we know). Using the common stereo mix, therefore, would undermine the whole point of gathering these tracks together. The series itself is a great concept, but should have been approached clinically, as if chronicling history. Using stereo and DES tracks in this context--rather than a CD or series of its own--lessens that historical import. Stereo has its place, but this wouldn't seem to be the sensible place. YMMV, of course.

On a 'glass half full' note, this series still has more than enough obscure mono 45 sides and artists to justify buying a copy anyway. And given the way the biz is these days, we should be grateful that someone's still going to the bother of issuing such collector-friendly packages. Still, having my druthers this would all be mono, with perhaps a bonus disc of rare or unissued stereo/DES, whatever, which has its own appeal.

 

It looks like The Lonely Bull is mono, the star indicates songs that either have neve been stereo or the 45 version is not stereo.

 

Which will be a good thing. Indeed, if the mono 45 mixes of the TJB and Baja Marimba are used in this series, it's worth it right there.

 

Hmm - they seem to make a distinction between the "Digitally Extracted Stereo", and the "Digitally Created Stereo"...anybody wanna jump in on this?

DES involves the digital extraction of various instrumental and/or vocal elements from mono sources and remixing those elements into a new stereo mix. DCS entails creating an entirely new, parallel channel (or channels) of musical information by cutting, shrinking, stretching, pasting, looping, etc., from sections of original mono sources and blending this information into new stereo mixes.

 

I look for mono too. Though I like some stereo.

 

It's been out a couple of dozen times in stereo, but never in mono on CD (to my knowledge). I think one of the points of the series was to reissue versions that have never appeared on CD as a change of pace for collectors. And quite a few of these songs have slipped through the cracks and never been out at all, in mono or stereo.

 

In the case of Alley Cat, the original hit recording is what is on this package. It was recorded in mono. The stereo version, which has appeared on numerous CDs, is a re-recording, albeit very close to the original.

 

Using DES and DCS seems a slippery slope. Are the mono tracks for these songs really that bad that they have to create stereo mixes? The 1st two volumes have quite a few mono mixes that sound just marvelous, I'm wondering why they feel the need to make up stereo mixes where none existed.

 

I think that answer is a hypothetical, "Why should we EVER be shown anything new? Isn't what we had before enough?" If the mixes are good, they'll justify themselves.

The 45 was sped up, but all previous appearances of "Night Train" on CD play at normal speed. This must be the CD debut of "Night Train" at the correct* speed.

*Depending on how you look at it.
