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.
I previously had a rip of a Canadian vinyl. It sounded really good. This one has just another level of clarity which will make it my go to version. Thanks dude!
Wow ....Wow ... Wow !!!! So my question is "Why didn't Rhino get it sounding this good?" The clarity and frequency range is amazing .... Once again, well done Prof ! Quick question: Is this the Terre Haute, Monarch or Pitman pressing ? My money is on Monarch.
Oh my goodness, this is a superb rip of a fantastic LP. I'm now listening to 1970; Steven Mackay's tenor sax is stabbing at the air above a pumping rhythm section. Boom, the bottom end is amazing. Thank you Prof. Really impressive :)
I saw the Iguanas play at the Mump and the Stooges several times in 1969 and 1970, most memorably at the Palladium (the best Stooges show imaginable, with Hari Krishna Band opening)and at Goose Lake.
I have a white label promo copy of this album and I recall it had slightly more bite on the snare drum. It's now in storage and I can't play it to compare and my new system includes slightly soft headphones and my ears are about 50 years older since I last saw them live (although I got to see Ron Asheton play with Destroy All Monsters). This version definitely smokes the various CDs of this album that I previously had.
I hope you can do a rip of the 45 single "Down on the Street" with an overdubbed organ by former Kingsmen keyboardist Don Gallucci ("Louie Louie" fame) who produced the album.
Professor, your body of work is stunning and a great achievement. Thank you so much.
It is an honor to make a small contribution to your research. Wikipedia says, "An alternate version of "Down on the Street", featuring a Doors-style organ overdubbed by Gallucci, was pulled from the album and released as a single.[9] It was released the same month as Fun House, and fared slightly better on the charts." The source cited in a footnote credits the liner notes of 1970: The Complete Fun House Sessions. I don't have that collection.
Thank you for looking into the report of an organ overdubbed on the 45rpm of Down on the Street. I have no reason to doubt the many people who reported that various versions of the single do no have an organ, including DJ pressings and French issues. Also thanks for the link to the Stooges fan site. All of your research is much appreciated.
I totally join 'Noises From Apt2A' and what he wrote on 18th of April. I mean, I was just blown away. I got the record in various forms since 15 years now and never ever got it to such a experience. I bow down, dude, I'm serious. Extra-superiour ✌🏻🌞
This is an incredible rip of maybe my favourite record of all time. I have a great sounding early French pressing of this in storage, but rarely have the chance to spin it, so this will do nicely. As for the question of organ on the single, I still don't believe anyone's found an actual vinyl copy with the organ on it, so I believe it was a mistake made when compiling the box set to include it as a 'single mix', rather than a 'rejected mix'.
Just wow, never heard this album so good. Thanks again for your skill, knowledge and hard work in making this fantastic recording available for those of us who take our audio seriously.
Professor, love your site and the work you do. Thanks! However , I just tried to download both the Stooges and Van Morrison albums (CD rips), both failed to expand and gave me a "internal structure damaged" error. Could you repost the files? Thanks!
Sorry, but these have not been updated, so it must be you. Have you tried downloading again? Please read the How To Download pdf if you haven't. Thanks.
Figured out the problem! I was attempting to expand using Stuffit & getting a fail every time. I switched to Winzip and had no problem. (I've since read that Winzip has more success than Stuffit, so it may be a good idea for you to specify people use that when they expand.) Anyway the album sounds great and thanks for all your hard work!
Thanks. Very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteboth versions are gone

ReplyDeleteI can't thank you enough, dear Prof! This is one of my favorite albums ever. I never heard it like this: a pristine masterpiece!

ReplyDeleteWow ....Wow ... Wow !!!! So my question is "Why didn't Rhino get it sounding this good?" The clarity and frequency range is amazing .... Once again, well done Prof ! Quick question: Is this the Terre Haute, Monarch or Pitman pressing ? My money is on Monarch.
ReplyDeleteIts a CTH. But remember, Elektra did all their cuttings in-house, rather than supplying production masters to the plants.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh.
ReplyDeleteSince I've heard others attempt ripping "Fun House" and not achieve the same results all I can say is " Bravo Prof." !
Most excellent! Thanks for this wonderful blog.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you very much!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat album, great transfer! Thanks for posting.

Thanks! I don't think the organ version appears on the orig USA single, only on a 2005 Rhino 7". Am I wrong?

ReplyDeleteRight, but I have read people who own the single report that it does not feature the organ.

ReplyDeleteNo prob. I have the 2005 single but since it appears on the CD boxset, it's probably the exact same source.
ReplyDelete50th anniversary of this amazing record. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have a HQ rip from a pristine original vinyl source of this all-time favourite...Thanks
