The Traffic album is a must-have for collectors, since it has hits not found on the UK MR. FANTASY Lp, mono or stereo.

Every so often I've just gotta pull out a TJB album to play, and it's usually the punchier mono mix. For today:



Alpert and the gang were so hot by this time (Spring '66) that although they had a hit with the title track, they could afford not to use the singles-ready likes of "So What's New?" and "Brasilia," which would have been sure-fire Top 40 entries (and Horst Jankowski did get a minor one with the former).

Does having a large collection of [very] early single side cut records and the Victrola to play them on count here?

Last time I checked, they were mono. Very cool. Do you have a picture of your Victrola? A Victrola and an Edison cylinder machine are the equipment I'm missing. They would provide a nice contrast to my main system, which has four hard drives.

Some mono vinyl. I color coded them green, blue, and red to highlight which one's sound good, better, best, but they transferred black only. Anyone know how to get a cut and paste to hold the original colors?

How 'bout that. My son has my grandmother's Edison plus about 75 cylinders and it is in operating condition also.

If I could figure out how to post a photo of the Victrola I would. It still Workd too.

If anyone is interested, Popmarket just put up the Bob Dylan vinyl mono box set. His first 8 albums (9 LPs) for $139.99, almost 50% off list. Sale expires later today. The only downside is Popmarket takes forever to ship, over a month to get my Velvet Underground box. I'm tempted.

Was recently listening to a few CD-R's I'd made of Elvis' hits, from early Sun through 1971 or so. Tracking down the mono for the '60s stuff was daunting, but found all of the ones that mattered. Made these about seven years ago, found them in a box I'd forgotten about, which a lot of other mono comps you can't (heh) find in stores.

We Five's 1967 Lp MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY, mono WLP with the labels reversed. No big deal there. What I can't figure out is why it took so long for the group to follow up their debut Lp from 1965, YOU WERE ON MY MIND; made no sense to sit on the second one, didn't help their career at all.

There's a lot of 13th Floor Elevators LPs that appear to be mono. Are they any in stereo?

Traffic Mr Fantasy Stereo UK and Mono US versions on one CD
Why did American Record companies crucify good track running orders ?

Why did American Record companies crucify good track running orders ?

That's a very good question indeed and it seems to apply equally across the board.
I have US & UK versions of many albums with vastly different tracklists which is a real shame as it means you colonials never got to hear it as intended.
A great example is the first Clash album. The UK one is a very different record to the "singles & highlights" version released in the US.

Traffic Mr Fantasy Stereo UK and Mono US versions on one CD
Why did American Record companies crucify good track running orders ?

Well, in this instance--and the album in the US was originally packaged and issued as HEAVEN IS IN YOUR MIND, then retitled MR. FANTASY with the same (and different from the UK) cover--the "Paper Sun" 45 played a part in that decision. And made its first stereo appearance anywhere (AFAIK) on this album. One can argue with the way it was done--an early fade of "Paper Sun" opens the album, the rest of the UK single is heard under the title "We're a Fade, You Missed This"--but it's still a fun album for what it is and of course any fan wants the original UK Lp as issued, too (and do check out the mono edition of this one as well).

And as Neil has mentioned The Clash..there is a logic to the US edition as well. Simply put, they were a UK phenomenon that the US label [Columbia/Epic] had no interest in right away. But after the Sex Pistols generated that interest in UK punk, a logical decision was made to include UK single sides for the US release to give a more rounded overview of what the band was about. Since the UK debut Lp was its own great entity, and fans there knew the 45's, it made sense for Epic to do a little fiddling, since they had all these sides available to them but were unsure if there was a fanbase for them here. It turned out there was, and in its way, the US THE CLASH is a nice listen, though it in no way replaces that original UK album. Columbia should also be given credit here for putting out the album at all, given that the group was not generally well known, and many UK 'punk' acts never got a US single (let alone album) release on these shores. I had to travel to Boston to collect all the key UK punk 45's, where that music was popular enough for record stores in that town to stock them regularly. Just FYI.
