JAMES TAYLOR UK STEREO SAPCOR 3 VS. UK MONO APCOR 3

                                                                                 

 Listening to this mono I always took for granted it was legit because of the top audio and perfect balance  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2022/04/james-taylor-apcor-3-68-uk-mono.html   . But as I also have seen claims on the net that it's a fold thought I'd settle the matter once and for all. And no doubt it's a separate mix. The fadeouts almost coincide though there are a couple of small differences - e.g. The "Carolina In My Mind" stereo is four seconds longer and the "Knocking Around The Zoo" mono fades two seconds later. But you only have to compare connecting the channels on the stereo with the real thing to be sure. Mono has a very natural balance while mimicking a fold alters that in a not so good way. For exemple - on the CIMM mono the drums are quite loud setting a clear pace, yet folded they don't appear that prominent which makes the song less dynamic. There may be other differences, but for me all the above is enough to certify - this mono is a separate mix. The stereo in itself sounds great too - big and strong with lots of overlapping. In fact they both come out so good it's hard to choose sides, but if I have to - mono it is!  (BÄ*)  (ÄPLÄ*)  (MÅW*)  (CPYC*)
