Hi-Rez & CD Quality downloads of long-lost MONO mixes, BBC compilations, Spectral Remixes and other curiosa, all meticulously restored from the best sources. Hendrix, The Who, Beatles, Love, Mothers, Stones, Them, The Dead, etc. Free for All!
F.A.Q.
Who? Retired sound engineer who loves music from the 60's & early 70's.
What? My aim is to make rare stuff publicly available again with the best possible sound quality.
Prof, You know that I get downright giddy when you post something new but I did not expect mono Genesis ! You could've knocked me over with a feather ... This and all of the upgrades this month are a beautiful way to start the summer ...Cheers !!!
Thanks, Prof! This was a very enjoyable listen, these tracks from when Genesis was at their genesis. There's definitely hints here of how their sound would evolve even though they were guided to produce pop music on this endeavor. And Peter's vocals sound beautifully sweet on some of these pop ballads. Who knew he could sound like that?! - David S.
Dankjewel! Great to see another mono rarity shared & preserved :)
Decca was really still making dedicated mono mixes for the UK in 1969? The Stones' Let It Bleed (LK 5025, Dec '69) is a known fold. That means that this Genesis debut really must have been one of the final "true mono" releases on the label.
This makes me very curious to hear the first Omega Red Star LP in mono (LK 4974)!
Many thanks for this, Prof! I enjoy my Varese Sarabande CD of this as a decent digital version, but I'm overjoyed to finally hear the mono mix. What a great surprise to see this in your feed this morning!
Thank you for this, the mono mix sounds more unified as the stereo version sounds like to my ears, the band in mono with the string overdubs in stereo which I always though sounded a little goofy. As far as a producer, I always though Jonathan King was more ego and hubris than actual talent. Tony Stratton-Smith definitely saved these lads by moving them over to Charisma.
Oh my goodness, finally some love for this record (amid a sea of apathy, unfortunately). Thank you so much prof, I can't wait to hear this gem in mono.
You’ve made my day/week/month. Excited to hear this in mono, pretty great for widely dismissed juvenilia!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Prof. I get excited when there's a new release from you!

Well, it was recorded in 8-1968 already and I guess it depended more on whether the producer delivered a mono master to Decca than anything else.
DeleteCool! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteSuperb...thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the newst posts and for the Prof.Stnd.blog.

ReplyDeleteThank You for this wonderful rarity
ReplyDeleteNice philological offer, really outstanding in your catalogue.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Professor. One more excelent job.
ReplyDeleteIf there was ever to be young, the last half of the 1960s was one of them. Thanks for this very life-affirming album.
ReplyDeleteThanks Prof

ReplyDeleteSurprised there's no mention of the 'genesis' of Twilight Alehouse in the intro to 'The Serpent.'
