THEM/THE WORLD OF THEM SPA 86 (-70) UK STEREO

 After listening to the corresponding mono a lot  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2021/11/themthe-world-of-them-pa-86-70-uk-mono.html  I was curios to see if the stereo on this one could add something essential, as it did on the "World Of The Zombies" stereo  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2025/06/the-zombiesthe-world-of-zombies-spa-85.html   where all tracks but three were true two-channel. And it does...in a way. Five of the twelve cuts - "Here Comes The Night", "Gloria", "Bring'em All In", It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and "Turn On Your Love Light" - comes in true, while the remaining seven suffer from, as it says on the rear sleeve, "electronically reprocessed" stereo. How cold and lifeless that may grab you, it's actually just cases of slightly enhanced monos, so it sounds better than one might expect. Though even if this has it's advantages I do prefer the mono issue. Still not sure if all cuts on that are legit, or some are folds from fake stereos, but it sounds so genuine throughout I don't care which. Issued in stereo on vinyl also in Canada, Downunder and all over Europe, plus cassette in UK, Germany and Spain. UK stereo came with label as shown here in a laminated cover with die-cut hole on rear and "blue box" inner.  (WÖF*)  (VMÖ*)
