I'm aware people value compilations individually and look for different things when grading them, though to my taste this is close to perfect. A Polydor 3-LP sampler box containing thirtysix mono single versions from the years 1967-69. Labels and places on the box say "stereo", but that is corrected by a sticker on the bottom of track list and the enclosed note shown below. Even if some of the numbers do exist on corresponding mono albums I guess this may be one of very few places you can get a large part of them as true mono on LP. I get a couple each from BeeGees, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Julie Driscoll/ Brian Auger, The Who and James Brown, but also rarer stuff by acts like The Happy Magazine, The Power Pack, King Koss, Heath Hampstead, Marbles and The Glass Menagerie, plus ones from Taste, Easybeats and more. So many classics together with some today forgotten by most, all carried by pristine mono. The audio shifts a little between tracks depending on origin, still non is bad and many tophole. Good listening all through...and for me great to get the mono versions of Who's "Pinnball Wizard", Taste's "Born On The Wrong Side Of Time", Jimi Hendrix "All Along The Watchtower" and "Crosstown Traffic" plus Easybeats "St. Louis", To my knowledge only released in UK and never reissued in any shape. It came with label design as shown here in a structured box with glossy glued-on paper and a "format correction" note (SÄM*)
That's a pretty good selection of tracks. I presume since it's on Polydor the Taste track is the album version, not the original Major Minor single.
SvaraRaderaI don't have the MM single so I can't compare. But since this came on Polydor it's with all certainty from theirs. I will compare a couple of the mixes on here with the original LP stereo versions to see if they're folds or true. Be back when I have.
