SAVOY BROWN/GETTING TO THE POINT SKL 4935 - LK 4935 STEREO VS. MONO

One more mono-stereo comparison. For background also check earlier post on the mono.Then I was almost sure that was a separate mix due to balance and separation.Now after finding a UK 1st stereo to compare with I'm positive. I don't have ears or time enough to do a minute by minute, but can mention three diffrences that at least convinces me. On "Flood In Huston" the mono has about one second longer fade-out revealing one extra guitar note not audible on the stereo. On "Stay With Me Baby" the stereo is slightly longer with two extra guitar notes. Finally the stereo "Mr Downchild" starts at low volume and slowly tuned up while the mono is loud from the beginning with vocals higher in the mix. There are other differences, but these three alone is enough to show the mono was a separately mixed album and as such one of the very last, or maybe the last, from UK Decca. Personally I prefer the mono - it's bigger, bolder and clearer fitting their blues perfectly. First UK press had ridged label and laminated cover as shown here. (SÄVX*) (CPYC*) (MÅW*)
