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.
Congrats Prof Stoned! It's about time to see some group to use your expertise on remastering. The Led Zep camp (or any other group releasing their radio performances/lost masters) should use your skills.
As soon as I read this I wanted to thank you for your work and used the link to register and order a copy - but alas, I tried at least three times to register an account on their site without success.
Different stereo image, improved balancing, tighter and thicker low-end, some reverb and echo added here and there. It's comparable to the Beatles remixes. Sound samples can be heard on the linked page.
Thanks for drawing attention to this band especially guitarist/vibraphone Ollie Halsall who Andy Summers and others say his skills where in a class of his own.
Fun fact: Halsall first started playing guitar earnestly in 1967, aged 18. Then 3 years later, he plays like this... 0_o
That wasn't his peak yet: on 1971's Hold Your Fire he had improved yet again to a higher level. Check it out. This first one album, however, has the better songs and stands as their finest effort (IMO).
Can't agree about better songs on the first LP - I think Hold Your Fire is a definite step towards more adventurous writing and playing. Third LP is also great, but Ollie plays a lot of piano instead of guitar.
Had to order this as soon as I saw the advert! I have always found your releases high quality and have recommended multiple friends your work. Having listened to the clips on the website I am looking forward to hearing this release in full.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Prof, and very well deserved.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Hope its one of many more. You deserve it with your terrific expertise in remastering.
ReplyDeleteWell done sir, well deserved!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your interest - perhaps you can try a different browser? Or if the problem keeps happening, please use the shops contact option.
DeleteWhat's different about your mix?

DeleteYou should advertise your remastered work on the Flash in the USA LP.
ReplyDeleteI don't really consider that a "Prof Stoned Production" like this one. It was a job I did for TLAK.
DeleteThe other outtake "Love Me" would have made a great addition to this album.
ReplyDeleteThat's from the BBC. We couldn't have it.
DeleteCould you have remixed it rather than remastered it?
ReplyDeleteI would say it is, but we couldn't call it that since it was not actually done from the multi tracks.

Just had a listen to the samples. Nice and fat and clean sounding. So why the need for your demix remastering skills? Are the master tapes lost?
ReplyDeleteWhich samples? The ones on the TLAK site are mine. The original master is just poorly mixed.
DeleteYes, the ones on the TLAK site.
DeleteCongrats Prof. Stoned. I hope this one is the first of many more, because your work is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThx!
DeleteHi Prof. Did you remix the entire LP? I A/B'd a few songs from the original LP to your "mix" and there's no difference.
ReplyDeleteAll tracks. I can't vouch for your A/B testing abilities but the difference is really not subtle.
DeleteBest example: the moment the vocals kick in on Red Glow. Also, the vocals on The Man are much lower in the mix on original.
Many congratulations!
ReplyDeleteOrdered. Congrats. As I mentioned before, I always wondered why this didn't happen long ago.Keep on!
ReplyDeleteAgain, thanks for the support guys!
ReplyDeleteSounds great Prof !
ReplyDeleteCan't agree about better songs on the first LP - I think Hold Your Fire is a definite step towards more adventurous writing and playing. Third LP is also great, but Ollie plays a lot of piano instead of guitar.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first official release...too cool!!
ReplyDeleteWow, someone else knows about Patto and wunderkind Ollie? Impressed. Thank you kindly!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your latest demix-remixes Prof, and as a Patto fan buying this was a no-brainer - nice and punchy, well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you! PS

ReplyDeleteGreat! PS
DeleteThe CD sounds excellent, thanks for all you do Prof!
DeleteFor my taste , much more balanced than japan edition I have !.
