German version of the UK Decca "From The Beginning" compilation, issued through the "Musik Fur Alle" serie. While the original came in mono only, this has all tracks as fake stereo and lots of added reverb. The MFA 1:st Who album I posted earlier had undergone the same treatment, but sounded OK at parts. This doesn't. Most of it comes through unnatural or lo-fi. Probably that has to do with the original tapes. The UK first was a mix of single cuts, some with alternate versions, and previously unreleased material. Many of those had really bad audio already on the mono issue and the tampering here didn't make it better. Two or three of the tracks do sound bigger, having a wider range than the mono's, but it's not enough to make it all good. Matrix no.s are stamped UK type (ZAL 7881/2 - X). First with label as shown here and fully laminated cover. (SXÅH*) (GÖXÄ*)
