    Wow, thank you very much. I just compared this to the Third Eye, and yours sounds much better and more natural. I have known for a while that the Third Eye was bass boosted but I didn't have a better one to replace it, until now. THANK YOU!!!

    Thank you... THANK YOU Prof! Nice to see you. This sounds absolutely phenomenal. But may I ask why you decided the 1 channel over the L+R sum? I'm not an expert ripper so just curious.

    Folding channels is mainly recommended for masking surface noise and distortion. It lessens high-end snap because you are changing the transcients of the waveform. A single channel will give better fidelity.

    Thank you so much for sharing your love of a great one from one of the greatest years in music. This interrupts my acute obsession with Francoise Hardy, who also released a remarkable album that year, which of course is much better in mono. But this does indeed give comfort, and I hope you feel good to share it as well.

    Prof -
    A very, very belated thanks to you. Your generosity in sharing your hard work is much appreciated. Your skills in transfers, mastering and collecting information have greatly enriched my audio collection. I've been a fan of yours for years, via your remaster of the Who LP "Who Is This?" (live in Germany 1972). Though I actually own the LP, I'd rather listen to your remaster! I also follow you on SHF. Again, sorry I haven't thanked you sooner. Your most recent batch of titles has brought much joy in trying times. Please consider continuing your work, if possible...many of us eagerly await any new posts from you. Take care, and THANKS, my friend...
    Jon H.

    Thank you! Sounds better than my Sundazed Mono LP, which isn’t bad, it’s just clearly from a higher generation copy. This needledrop sounds clearer with more crisp top end, tighter bass, and less distortion. It’s brighter than the Sundazed, but not in a bad way. Very nice. The Sundazed was still a gem for us, but this does sound better.

      Update: The aforementioned comparison was just with side 1, after which I switched permanently to the cd for the remainder. During this (side 2 tracks) I found parts of it to be extremely bright, mainly in some guitar parts. I hard to turn the volume down on my stereo cause it hurt my ears. My Boston acoustics do tend to lean towards the bright side for what it’s worth, but it’s rarely an issue. Just some honest feedback. Thanks.

      The mono mix does not sound great in any guise. This rip is the most accurate representation. Bright and lo-fi but in the best quality available overall. I would be more interested to hear Prof tackle the stereo version, to be honest. There are some great rips out there but each one has issues in different places. It's hard to get a consistent result.
