DOWNLOAD NO.146 - AUTUMN

HAVE YOU WONDERED WHY I KEEP POSTING CERTAIN GROUP'S MUSIC? WELL, IT'S BECAUSE SOME GROUPS HAVE NOT HAD THEIR MUSIC PUT UP FOR SALE ON C.D. AND IN SOME CASES WHEN THEY DO HAVE A C.D. OUT, IT'S LIKE THE C.D. COMPILER HAS DELIBERATELY NOT FOUND THE BEST VERSION OF A MASTER TAPE TO TRANSFER TO C.D.

FOR EXAMPLE THIS DOWNLOAD CONTAINS "YELLOW RIVER" BY SYDNEY GROUP AUTUMN, WHICH HAS BEEN ON AT LEAST 4 C.D. COMPILATIONS IN 30 YEARS SINCE IT CHARTED BACK IN THE 1970S. THE VERSIONS I HAVE FOUND ON C.D. SO FAR ARE ALWAYS THE MONO SINGLE VERSIONS WHICH HAVE IN SOME CASES COME FROM SCRATCHY RECORDS AND HAVE CLICKS AND POPS EVIDENT, OR HAVE COME FROM MASTER TAPES BUT WITH SO MUCH COMPRESSION ADDED THAT YOU CAN'T HEAR THE CYMBALS IN THE BACKING MUSIC...

FOR THIS DOWNLOAD, I HAVE TRANSFERRED THE STEREO ALBUM VERSION OF "YELLOW RIVER"AND 20 SECONDS OF THE MONO C.D. VERSION FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A COMPARISON. FESTIVAL RECORDS HAVE ISSUED "YELLOW RIVER" ON C.D. ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO....I'M SURE WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE DIFFERENCE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY AUDIOPHILES LIKE MYSELF WOULD PREFER TO MAKE COPIES OF OUR VINYL ALBUMS RATHER THAN HAVE INFERIOR TRANSFERS THROWN ONTO C.D.S.

THIS DOWNLOAD IS AN EXTENDED TOM MIX VERSION OF THE SUPERIOR ALBUM VERSION OF AUTUMN'S "YELLOW RIVER":
