    Here is your christmas present, folks. Enjoy it. Be warned that I will delete the 2020 mono version in the near future because I believe the version contained herein is superior.

    Holy Cow, Prof !!! You have taken this album, ripped off all of the production inexperience of the original mix and gave us an incredible glimpse into the realm of just how amazing this album truly is with your demixing / remixing technique. This in itself would have been enough but you actually gave us and enormous "easter egg" for Christmas with the remastered mono, The Headstone Reels, Rough Mixes and 3 live performances!! You constantly knock my sox off.

    Thank you! This is so exciting! On a related note, can anyone here believe that the most recent edition of Rolling Stone’s top 500 (FIVE HUNDRED ffs) albums does not contain either this album or Easter Everywhere? Astonishing oversight that utterly vitiates the whole stupid book. I should know not to expect too much from poor dear sad old RS, but still!

      This was the year the last vestige of Rolling Stone as any authority crumbled into nonexistence as Jann Wenner's bigotry--which guided the magazine through all the years it was actually vaguely relevant--was finally made public knowledge.

      The fans are the ones who have kept the legacy of the Elevators alive, the fans are the only ones that matter. It takes devotion to execute a project like this, devotion RS routinely slathered onto Wenner's friends and pet mediocrities while ignoring the true visionaries.

      Fuck Jann Wenner and fuck RS. The Elevators rule forever.

      Amen to all that, including Wenner's insane late-career own-goal. Elevators forever.

    Hey Prof, the new mono version is such an improvement on your last version it's unreal. Would you consider the mono mix, even with your spectrally-fixed stereo version taken into account, the definitive mix?

    1. PSDecember 20, 2023 at 1:42 AM

      Neither will ever be perfect. The mono LP had copious amounts of compression applied during mastering. The stereo LP much less so but it has often too much reverb in the mix itself. I am very happy with the mono YGMM here though.

    Although I do not currently have access to the greatest audio equipment, I can still tell with my current setup that this is, by far, the best I’ve ever heard this album sound, BOTH mono and stereo.

    I’ve only heard one other person with a mono mix of this album that was this good, but he didn’t finish ripping all the tracks, and subsequently removed them. This was years ago.

    But now that you’re also offering a demixed version of the stereo mix, I really don’t know which one I prefer! šŸ˜

    No kidding, you’ve really outdone yourself. I’m thoroughly enjoying listening to this. My new definitive go-to mixes.

    In all honesty, life hasn’t been the greatest for me, and this has really cheered me up. I’m trying to find more words to express my gratitude, but perhaps I’m overdoing it.

    And thank you so much for all the cleaned up live material and alternate takes, too! This has clearly been a passion project for you. Although, that’s not to say that you don’t approach everything you do with passion. Of course, you do!

    Once again, all the best to you and your loved ones these holidays. Peace and Love. ☮️ ✌️

    Whoa!!! Many thanks. What a treat.

    Would love a better mix of "Demon Angel" it's a fantastic album.

    I hope you look into Syd Barrett and his catalogue. Lots of room for a better mixed box set!

    Also, controversial but noteworthy "The Family Jams" by The Manson Family. Difficult to separate the the document from the deeds. Yet, it too is a amazing artifact but perhaps not worthy of your attention.

    Thanks for posting
    I previously downloaded the mono version which means I now have about 9 versions:
    1. Radar LP
    2. Spalax CD
    3/4. Charly 2CD version inc mono and stereo
    5. Texas Psych group download version
    6. Original Prof Stone mono mix
    7. Sign of the 3 Eyed Men
    8/9. This one
    The Charly ones are all inferior to both of yours. The Radar one is less compressed but again, yours is superior...... and of course you now have all the bonus material.
    Heretical I know, but I prefer Easter Everywhere. Of course I have yours (again superior to Charly versions) and also the Poodle rip. I'm not going to risk insulting either of you by comparing yours to the Poodle's.
