FOUR TOPS/REACH OUT MT-660 (-67) US MONO

 

 For more please check post on the UK stereo https://monolover.blogspot.com/2020/09/four-topsreach-out-stml-11056-67-uk.html . One of my all time favorite Motown albums. Every track is a winner and all performed with so much positive energy it's impossible not to be uplifted. Been looking for a US or UK mono version a long time, but for some reason failed to locate one in the local bins. Now I have and it's good, but not as expected. There's a very dominant bass on many of the cuts, wich makes it bouncy enough, but partly less well separated. As a big seller it was pressed at various locations in US. This one by Columbia's plant in Terre Haute. No clue if a mono pressed at some other plant could have a different outcome, but I will continue to scrape the bins and maybe I'll find one to be sure. In any case I am very pleased with this for now, both in my listening chair and dancing with myself in front of the speakers. Happy music below. Early US copies had label design as shown here in a glossy cover with Motown ad inner.  (YZÄ*)  (TÖMÖ*)  (FÖRH*)  (ÖXCÅ*)
