F.A.Q.

Who?
I have a turntable and a nice record collection, mostly LP's from the 60's & early 70's.

What?
My aim is to make rare stuff (in glorious mono or sometimes stereo) publicly available again with the best possible sound quality.

Requests?
Generally, no. I select my projects very critically. Vinyl condition is everything. I tend not to work with records that are in less than pristine condition.

Donations?
Get outta here!

    Thank you Professor for your fine work in commemorating the 50th anniversary of this great album. Janie Hendrix & Sony have seriously dropped the ball on marking the anniversary, though I'm sure any effort on their part to present the core AYE tracks would have fallen far short of your spectacular effort!

    I thought AYE didn't get any better than the Barclay mono. I missed the UK mono repressing from a few years ago before it went OOP.

    But all that seems unimportant now. This is one heck of a release Prof.

    This is so damn well put together, researched and documented that it should have been an official release. Wow. Just Wow. This is so good that I have to let my dad know as he was the first person to turn me onto Hendrix and played me all of his bootleg LPs he had collected in his teens when I was a kid.

    Thank you so much!!!

    Nope. It's not from CBS. It's a live take with vocals, but no vocals were recorded at CBS. An excellent article appeared in Univibes about this subject, which concluded that both takes must have been recorded at the same session at De Lane Lea.

    Thanks so much, Professor. I cannot locate it now, but I believe you wrote something "way back when" about not revisiting this album again if you could help it. As much as you appear to love Hendrix, I smiled when I read that and thought "we'll see about that". Well, I'm glad you did and I'm looking forward to listening to your celebratory set here. You're on a roll this year and I thank you again and wish you much happiness as you continually share this great music with all of us making us extremely happy! Take care.

    This is the first time I've heard the US configuration of AYE. It's... yeah. Having only ever heard it in its UK form since I first heard it back in 1990 (via that first Polydor CD edition mentioned in the notes), I'm *really* thrown by the differences. I quite like "Wind Cries Mary" as the side 2 opener, but the other tracks that are moved about just seem... wrong somehow. (To be honest I've never been a fan of "Red House", which is probably heretical of me.)

    I continue to be amazed by the UK mono mix, so many different things going on to the stereo version. (Never did understand why markedly different takes/performances were used for respective mono and stereo mixes...) And don't sell your own mastering skills too short either; this sounds better than I suspect the Hendrix estate's own version might've done had they bothered to release one.

    Just happened to notice this in the notes:

    "All mono recordings mastered from a single stereo channel (no L+R folding)."

    Can I ask why? Usually using both channels and folding, making sure they are precisely aligned, will result in less noise and distortion. The mono music is in-phase while much of the noise and distortion is out of phase, so folding results in a better ratio of music to noise and distortion.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Prof. StonedNovember 19, 2018 at 1:04 PM

    This record was not cut with a mono head, the L&R channels differed too much. Also, there is no noise or distortion here that is not part of the recording itself.

    So deeply grateful for your hard work, skills, and good ears that I must now march thru all posts I've benefitted from and say thanks. For whatever reason (don't ask), I'm building a collection of classic 60s mono mixes and committing each to 8-track tape (since none were ever released that way), for personal listening. Of course your site has been a priceless resource for these, especially the rare titles the labels haven't released (or done so satisfactorily).

    I used the present set to compile a US mono album, sequenced per the US stereo tape. Listening now thru one speaker - wonderful!

    This is an amazing compilation of Jimi's first recordings and it's so cool to hear the original UK mono version of AYE. Thank you!

    UK Nik here. Hendrix was my first love. Axis was my first album, for a while my only album: I used to play it in my head on long car journeys with my mum and dad to pass the time, note perfect, then EL, and AYE in mono the third. I got a fake stereo then a real one then the U.S. Reprise version and later your remastering from a few years ago. Thanks. I appreciate your work. I've got a Strat now, but I know there's not enough time in this lifetime at the age of 67 to play like Hendrix. Love and Peace!

    Wow Prof ... I did not see this coming. Your 2017 remaster / restoration is the Gold Standard so the fact that you've gone back in here in 2020 to revisit part 2 (the mono section) is mindblowing.. Can't wait to wrap my ears around it.

    Prof,
    I've A/B-ing the 2017 / 2020 all morning through my Sennheisers and what I'm hearing is definitely a clearer sound over all. There seems to be no loss of low end frequency in fact the 2020 version seems to do it without that slightly compressed feeling on the 2017 version.
    I hope some of your audio engineering / mastering peers are paying attention to what your doing here because you keep setting the bar higher ...Cheers !!!!

    Prof Stoned,
    Thanks so much for your hard work. The results are amazing and are being enjoyed here at a particularly trying time.

    For so many years, I have particularly found the sound of the Hendrix / 13th Floor Elevators reissues infuriating, at times virtually unlistenable - thanks for giving us of these records that sound true and musical.

    All the best! Keep 'em comin'!

    Damn Prof, I cant stop listening to this mono update ... It sound great on all of my audio venues. Right now I'm outside (the summer AYE came out I heard it outside on my older sister's portable AM / FM record player so for me listening outside is pure nostalgia) listening on my Bose Soundlink III, and it packs a punch.

    I've been following your mono 'Are You Experienced' posts since the original installment you posted with the French Barclay cover. This version indeed sounds more even than your 2017 version, with a little less of the bright highs we love and a couple dBs of tasteful gain. Man, this record just drips acid... Thanks for the update!

    I can't thank you enough for this. I've been DYING to get a decent version of this mono mix. I've been singing its praises (especially the mono mix of 'Red House' which elevates it from a good blues throwaway to a stone classic) but having only low bit rate YT clips to listen to. Until now. Much gratitude.

    Thanks Professor, I have the Barclay AYE mono vinyl but prefer to listen to your digital version. It's a beautiful thing. Your rips are invaluable to me and the research that goes with them is highly appreciated. These are my reference versions for Hendrix, Stones, Who, Stooges etc.

    There is this insufferable moron on the Hoffman forum who does 90% of the talking in Hendrix threads, but he is truly clueless and has the dumbest theories, the most frustrating of which is that vinyl transfers aren't legtitimate comparison vehicles, in addition to insisting that the UK Track of AYE sounds perfectly fine and smack-talking the Barclay. So thank you for putting this together to prove idiots like him wrong.

    Possibly the most commented upon post these old red dry eys have stumbled across, and for good reason. I gotta say I agree with the spitit that I gleamed which is THANK-YOU, for ALL, Each and every one is seemingly a Labor of love, not about being the most this, highest that, KPop will get me a million likes but I hate it, hell, heres some Kpop. Nope, you do what you want, when you want, for the sake of making something that at times is already great, even better and often way better, and most of all, make that quality accessible to those that appreciate it. Anything that brings more clarity to the wizardry of Mr. James Marshall Hendrix is absolutely a great thing. Enough gushing,
